R W Hough & Sons Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle (Div 1)

Off time: 16:26 | Winning time: 5m 49.10s

Wigglesworth^b1²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 107| BF

4/1

Fair hurdler who went backwards from his reappearance when only second in a novice at Uttoxeter last time. Could get involve if first-time blinkers perk him up.

Form: 254P-22

Tribesmans Glory^h³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽⁸⁾| T: T R George| OR: 105| C

5/1

Fair winning chaser who added to a patch record when taking a heavy fall at Southwell a month ago. Potentially well treated from lower hurdling mark, so not without a chance.

Form: 1UU24-F

Damut I'm Out¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁵⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 104| C| D

18/1

Veteran who scored over both fences and hurdles but hasn't fired so far over the smaller obstacles this term. Others make more appeal.

Form: 1P10-75

Accordini^t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Alex Edwards| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 102

17/2

Point winner and after a low-key start under Rules, has shown more since switched to hurdling, third in a novice at Worcester last time. Solid claims from fair opening mark.

Form: 4U/P-P33

Chosen Shant^t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Tudor| T: Ian Williams| OR: 100

9/2

Lightly raced in handicap hurdles and overcame an early blunder to finish a running-on third at Worcester a month ago. Capable of better still if he can jump more efficiently.

Form: 43-4433

Layerthorpe²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Ben Jones| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 98| CD

9/2

Landed a hat-trick in staying handicap hurdles in 2019. Disappointed last summer but more like it of late, third at Worcester (clear of rest) 25 days ago. One to consider.

Form: B30-323

Snow Leopard³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 93

40/1

Poor maiden on Flat (stays 1½m) and well held all 3 outings over hurdles to date. Needs a big step up if he's to defy a stiff opening mark. No guaranteed stayer, either.

Form: 56-5

Hot To Trot^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlie Price| T: L Horsfall| OR: 90

80/1

Dual point winner but didn't really kick on over hurdles for Lawney Hill and was pulled up in a novice at Uttoxeter on debut for current yard.

Form: 5/P7FP-P

Geonice⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Aaron Anderson⁽³⁾| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 88

11/1

Bumper efforts towards end of last year weren't devoid of promise, but no encouragement over hurdles to this point. May do better now handicapping.

Form: 66F-00

Demon Fou^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Tom Buckley| T: J Tickle| OR: 86

25/1

One-time fair hurdler who doesn't seem the force of old and has offered little in two outings for new yard.

Form: 7P8-PP8

Dynamic Kate^t⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Hugh Nugent| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 75WS

15/2

Lightly-raced hurdler who finished a running-on fourth of 13 on handicap bow at Taunton in March but has been unable to build on it since. Makes little appeal from out of the weights.

Form: 0704-47

Forecasts

Wigglesworth (4/1), Layerthorpe (9/2), Chosen Shant (9/2), Tribesmans Glory (5/1), Dynamic Kate (15/2), Accordini (17/2), Geonice (11/1), Damut I'm Out (18/1), Demon Fou (25/1), Snow Leopard (40/1), Hot To Trot (80/1)

CHOSEN SHANT is going the right way and did well to stay on for third from a long way back at Worcester a month ago so, provided they go a true gallop, he's capable of opening his account. In-form pair Accordini and Layerthorpe are, like the selection, partnered by relatively experienced riders, so they're expected to be thereabouts.
