Coniston Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:56 | Winning time: 6m 25.90s

Aptly Put^t²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 111| C

11/2

Landed 3m Newcastle handicap in March and notched a second career success when seeing off 5 rivals over 2¾m here 25 days ago. Ought to remain competitive after a 7 lb rise.

Form: 991-F41

Doune Castle^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: William Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 110

9/4

Came good when stepped up in trip to win over 3¼m at Kelso 4 weeks ago. The handicapper hasn't missed him with a 12 lb rise but he did that smoothly and could possibly have more to offer.

Form: 099-41

Prabeni^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 108| BF

7/1

Back to winning ways in Fontwell handicap hurdle in the mud last August. Ended time for Charlie Mann in disappointing fashion and fared little better on return for new yard 24 days ago.

Form: 13P7P-5

William Tyndale²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: N C Kelly| OR: 105

18/1

Second in a handicap hurdle earlier in his career. First completion in hunter chases for this yard when second at Down Royal in May and has won a couple of points since. Check betting.

Form: 4/PU-211

Jelski^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: James Moffatt| OR: 105

11/1

Without a win since 2019 but he has recorded respectable efforts over 2¾m here on his last 2 starts.

Form: 8/8P-654

Famous Response³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 102

80/1

Uttoxeter novice hurdle winner for Dan Skelton last July but not seen again until pulling up at Bangor for new yard last month. That leaves him with something to prove.

Form: 1F/1-P

O'Grady's Boy²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: G Hanmer| OR: 102

18/1

Looked limited over hurdles for this yard but exceeded expectations when second in a course hunter on chase debut 25 days ago. Needs more again to defy this mark back hurdling.

Form: 4P/968-2

Zero To Hero⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: N C Kelly| OR: 100

20/1

Maiden who was second in 3m Southwell handicap hurdle in April on sole run for Dan Skelton. Brian Hughes up and very interesting to see how he compares in market to yard's 2 other runners.

Liffeydale Dreamer^p,t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 98| BF| C

9/4

Winner over 2¾m last summer. Another good effort here when second to reopposing For Jim (2¾m again) last time. Meets that rival on 5 lb better terms. Should go well.

Form: 3P27-42

The Very Thing²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 87

33/1

Remains winless following 16 attempts over hurdles, failing to build on a slightly better effort at Perth (3m, soft) when remote fifth at Hexham 3 weeks ago.

Form: 2/4PP-65

On We Go^v1⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 69

125/1

Winless since early 2020 and has offered little in a handicap hurdle/chase this term. First-time visor replaces blinkers. 15 lb out of handicap.

Form: P66P-0P

Forecasts

Liffeydale Dreamer (9/4), Doune Castle (9/4), For Jim (11/4), Aptly Put (11/2), Prabeni (7/1), Jelski (11/1), Largy Princess (16/1), William Tyndale (18/1), O'Grady's Boy (18/1), Zero To Hero (20/1), The Very Thing (33/1), Famous Response (80/1), On We Go (125/1)

LIFFEYDALE DREAMER is 5 lb better off with For Jim for just a neck defeat here last time and can deny Jennie Candlish's charge a hat-trick. Noel Kelly saddles 3, with comfortable Kelso scorer Doune Castle perhaps best of them unless the market hints otherwise.
