Longlands Selling Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:05 | Winning time: 4m 11.19s

The Herds Garden²²

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 99

10/1

Veteran who scored at Catterick in January. Not in the same form completed starts since. Down 3 lb but needs to show more to feature.

Form: 10U36-4

Pepper Street^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: S England| OR: 98

11/4

Finally got off the mark over jumps with a smooth performance in 20.4f handicap at Southwell earlier this month and readily followed up back there 6 days later. Should go well in hat-trick bid.

Form: 9F63-11

Oakmont⁶⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: James Moffatt| OR: 97

9/2

Still a maiden over hurdles, but he figures on a good mark and drops to selling company for the first time. Well worth considering for in-form yard.

Form: 9U3757-

Tabou Beach Boy^t,v1⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies| OR: 96

20/1

Fair 2m winner over hurdles. Not disgraced in jumpers bumpers at start of year but has performed no more than respectably in handicap hurdle/chase since. Visor goes on.

Form: 358450-

Dariya^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 95| D

11/2

Scored twice in 3 days back in September but both efforts last month left a lot to be desired. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 5504-7P

Malina Ocarina²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 94

16/1

Sole win came last February (after a year off) but not in same form since, taking a heavy fall early at Fakenham 29 days ago.

Form: 0/1063-F

Lord Caprio^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 94

6/1

Fair on Flat and similar form in juvenile events over hurdles in 2018/19. Little impact all 3 starts this year (found to be lame last time) but has lots to prove.

Form: 132/PP-7

Shannon Hill^h³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Callum Bewley| T: P D Niven| OR: 93

40/1

Fair form over hurdles for Alan King in 2018 but subsequent form (for Denis Hogan prior to penultimate outing) has been pretty dismal.

Form: 4090/6-5

Ibn Al Emarat^h1⁴⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: B Butterworth| OR: 89

33/1

Fairly useful 1m Flat winner for David Simcock in 2017. Little impact in novice hurdles for this yard last term, and again showed little promise for jumping at Carlisle in March. Rejoined former yard.

Form: 9087/

Bossiney Bay^p1²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 82| D

7/1

Ran well when placed in pair of Perth handicaps last summer and pretty inconsistent thereafter, only ninth back there 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time but needs to jump better to feature.

Form: 82377-9

Brodick^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 84

28/1

Modest Flat maiden who finished down the field in trio of juvenile/maiden hurdles and fared no better for the switch to handicaps. Still, it's early days.

Form: 5480-7

Lucou^v¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 78

25/1

Fair hurdler at his best but he arrives under a cloud, faring no better in a change of headgear/upped markedly in trip at Fakenham 10 days ago.

Form: 7374-P7

Non-Runners

Xpo Universel⁴¹

Weight: 11-9| Age: 12

T: R Menzies J: Peter Coleman

Comber Mill⁷⁸

Weight: 10-13| Age: 9

T: D Thompson J: Aaron Anderson

Forecasts

Pepper Street (11/4), Oakmont (9/2), Dariya (11/2), Lord Caprio (6/1), Bossiney Bay (7/1), The Herds Garden (10/1), Xpo Universel (14/1), Malina Ocarina (16/1), Tabou Beach Boy (20/1), Comber Mill (25/1), Lucou (25/1), Brodick (28/1), Ibn Al Emarat (33/1), Shannon Hill (40/1)

Most of these arrive out of form so it could pay to take a chance on OAKMONT, who drops to selling company for the first time and figures on a good mark for a yard that has been amongst the winners of late. Pepper Street is sure to be popular in her hat-trick bid but she may have to settle for silver here, ahead of Bossiney Bay and Malina Ocarina.
