perthlodge.co.uk Amateur Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 20:55 | Winning time: 3m 49.94s

Timetoroe⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Abbie McCain| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 105

6/1

Hasn't really progressed since her hurdle debut win last summer but she did make a sound start for this stable when third at Cartmel in May. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 9/1454-3

Foxey^h¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Kit Alexander| T: J Ewart| OR: 100

9/2

Showed fair form in bumpers and has matched that level over hurdles. Made a sound return from 5 months off when third over C&D (soft) 16 days ago and he'll be thereabouts again if in similar form.

Form: 224/3P-3

Wilhelm Vonvenster⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁷⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 97

40/1

Has shown no better than modest form on the Flat since finishing well held in 3 hurdles in 2019. Would need to see market support to consider now handicapping.

Form: 4750/

Scots Sonnet^h²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Edward Austin⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 96

10/1

Beaten just under 24 lengths into fourth on his C&D handicap debut 26 days ago so even a 4 lb drop in the weights isn't enough to make him of interest.

Form: 56/7-844

Island Nation¹²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr James King| T: O Murphy| OR: 99

9/4

Fair middle-distance handicapper on Flat for Heather Main. Could only manage fourth on his handicap hurdle debut in March but it's still early days with him in this sphere.

Form: 5044-

Wise Coco^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr Connor Wood⁽⁷⁾| T: A C Whillans| OR: 84| CD

9/4

Notched just a second career success when seeing off 7 rivals over 2½m here 26 days ago. Only raised 3 lb and likely to be thereabouts again.

Form: PP9-341

Stage Power^p,t³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Alisa McClung⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 84WS

11/1

Modest maiden on the Flat and similar story over hurdles. Failed to stay 2½m when sixth here last time and this test looks more suitable.

Form: 770-96

Mileva Roller¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Amie Waugh| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 69

80/1

Maiden who offered no short-term encouragement on her recent return from a long absence at Uttoxeter. 10 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 7553F/0

Forecasts

Island Nation (9/4), Wise Coco (9/4), Foxey (9/2), Timetoroe (6/1), Scots Sonnet (10/1), Stage Power (11/1), Wilhelm Vonvenster (40/1), Mileva Roller (80/1)

Dual Flat winner ISLAND NATION remains relatively unexposed over hurdles and is selected to make a successful return from 4 months off. Last-time-out course scorer Wise Coco can give Olly Murphy's charge most to think about ahead of Foxey.
