bet365 Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:10 | Winning time: 4m 0.0s

Khanmurjan²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 110| BF

6/1

Fair maiden on the Flat and placed all 4 starts over hurdles, the latest in a C&D novice 24 days ago. One to consider for all his opening mark demands improvement.

Form: 22/3-2

Talk Of Fame^t²¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 106

18/1

Stepped up greatly on hurdling debut when runner-up in novice hurdle at Wincanton but failed to back it up at Exeter 7 months ago. Of interest on handicap debut if his jumping has improved.

Form: 0/3527-

Malangen²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Dowson| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 103

50/1

Temperamental sort who was down the field at Exeter on his final outing for David Pipe and didn't offer much promise on debut for this stable over C&D 7 months later.

Form: 15539-6

Evita Du Mesnil¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Ross Chapman| T: D Bourke| OR: 101| CD

9/1

Strong-travelling mare who was better than ever when recording latest win here in May. Respectable fourth under a penalty at Hexham 6 days later and 2 lb lower now reassessed.

Form: P415-14

Grey Girly^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: D A Jacob| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 99

2/1

Fair maiden hurdler who was better than ever when second (clear of rest) over C&D 24 days ago. Runner-up has let that form down since, but she boasts solid claims nonetheless.

Form: 53295-2

The Compeller^t¹⁰⁷⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 95| CD

28/1

Last seen winning C&D handicap 2 years ago from a 1 lb lower mark. Whether he retains all that ability is difficult to know, however.

Form: P721V1/

Fowlplay¹⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: S Wilson| OR: 95

40/1

Modest maiden hurdler who makes little appeal unless strongly supported in the market.

Form: 0/30PP-

Sarvi^b¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Reed| T: J S Goldie| OR: 94| D

12/1

Dual-purpose mare who is on a reasonable mark and performed respectably on the Flat recently, so can't be completely discounted for all she's an infrequent winner in this sphere.

Form: 77037-4

Zamarkhan²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 93

7/1

Scored at Sedgefield last year and, following a 3-month break, returned to form when second there last month. Solid claims if he can step up on that.

Form: 4F422-2

Dagian^p⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 91| D

9/1

Landed a jumpers bumper in February but his record over hurdles is most uninspiring.

Form: 40P814-

Las Tunas^t⁴⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: R P McLernon| T: R M Smith| OR: 89| D

22/1

Modest handicap chaser who reverts to hurdling with a bit to prove having lost his way over the larger obstacles. On an appealing mark if the switch has the desired effect, though.

Form: PP9547-

Summer Lightening^p1²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 84| D

13/2

Landed back-to-back handicap hurdles at Catterick in early 2020. Not matched that since but mark has come down and cheekpieces are now tried.

Form: 07440-4

Non-Runners

Wor Verge¹

Weight: 10-13| Age: 8

T: S Corbett J: Non Runner

Wise Coco²⁵

Weight: 10-0| Age: 8

T: A C Whillans J: Liam Harrison

Forecasts

Grey Girly (2/1), Wor Verge (11/2), Khanmurjan (6/1), Summer Lightening (13/2), Zamarkhan (7/1), Evita Du Mesnil (9/1), Dagian (9/1), Sarvi (12/1), Talk Of Fame (18/1), Wise Coco (20/1), Las Tunas (22/1), The Compeller (28/1), Fowlplay (40/1), Malangen (50/1)

An open handicap in which WOR VERGE makes most appeal following his agonising defeat in pursuit of a double at Hexham recently. Grey Girly was clear of the remainder when runner-up here last time, so she's of interest along with her stablemate Khanmurjan.
