Campbell & Rowley Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 17:16 | Winning time: 4m 18.60s

Darkest Day^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 102

50/1

Off the mark at Plumpton in March for Gary Moore. Good runner-up efforts first 2 starts for this yard (including C&D) but ran poorly at Perth latest.

Form: 168-228

The Steward^b²²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 98| CD

6/1

Fair hurdler who nicked a jumpers bumper from the front at Newcastle earlier in the year. Below form over hurdles in recent months but his mark has come down and no shock were he to revive.

Form: 415-759

Pateen^v²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 97| D

5/4

Has made a good start for yard, partnered by trainer when winning at Market Rasen and then pulling clear of the rest when behind an improver here on Saturday. Big chance if turning out again.

Form: 80P-312

Two Blondes^h²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 96

13/2

Maiden hurdler who was back to form in a first-time hood (retained) when just worried out of it late on at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month. Thereabouts with a repeat.

Form: 3455-52

Rip Rocks Paddy Ok³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: J K Hunter| OR: 96

150/1

Fairly useful winning ex-Irish hurdler, but has shown nothing in 4 starts for Kevin Hunter.

Form: 7P60-P8

Burnage Boy^p³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 94

125/1

Modest operator who was been beaten on both starts in handicap hurdles. His Flat efforts of late are also hard to enthuse over.

Form: 2725P/9-

Monash^v1⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 98

50/1

Still looking for first success. Did run well when second at Kelso in April but below par since, including back on Flat latest. First-time visor needs to have a revitalising effect.

Form: 8452-97

Pass Rusher^p1³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 89

33/1

Modest at best over hurdles and made an inauspicious start over fences lately. Returns to hurdles with something to prove. Cheekpieces go on for the first time.

Form: P776-U7

Jackhammer²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 84

5/1

Poor form over hurdles in 2018 but was successful 4 times on the Flat in 2019. Pair of runner-up efforts on the level this spring show he retains all his ability and he's potentially on a good mark.

Form: 89053/

Snowed In^p⁴⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: B Butterworth| OR: 81| D

28/1

Approaching the veteran stage but he arrives in form having won at Sedgefield and finished placed at Hexham in recent months.

Form: 8478-13

Placedela Concorde²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Ross Chapman| T: M A Barnes| OR: 79

14/1

It's now 19 runs since last win in 2018. In front when fell last at Sedgefield in April but only seventh in 2m handicap at Hexham last month.

Form: 8644F-7

Mi Laddo^p,t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 78

13/2

Very much got his act together over hurdles with a win and second at Taunton (2m) in April. Latest fourth over 20.5f at Market Rasen was decent and he should be suited by the return to shorter.

Form: 5612-74

Strong Team⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Thomas Dowson| T: C Grant| OR: 71

50/1

Dual 2m hurdle winner in 2018, but has largely offered little since, including at Hexham when last seen 44 days ago.

Form: 8984-60

Forecasts

Pateen (5/4), Jackhammer (5/1), The Steward (6/1), Two Blondes (13/2), Mi Laddo (13/2), Placedela Concorde (14/1), Snowed In (28/1), Pass Rusher (33/1), Ivors Involvement (33/1), Monash (50/1), Strong Team (50/1), Darkest Day (50/1), Burnage Boy (125/1), Rip Rocks Paddy Ok (150/1)

JACKHAMMER might be worth siding with back hurdling as he's potentially very well treated off a mark in the mid-80s based on his Flat ability. Pateen, Mi Laddo, Two Blondes and in-form 12-y-o Snowed In are all big players too in a competitive affair.
