Mrs Hyde²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 133| CD

9/2

Likeable mare who has won 4 of her 8 starts for this yard over hurdles, including twice in listed company. Not seen to best effect in the Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen on return and eased 3 lb.

Form: 31132-0

Historic Heart^p⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 134| CD

9/2

Recorded a third success in this sphere with a useful effort over C&D in April. Possibly found race coming too soon when well held in Swinton Handicap at Haydock next time. Worth another chance.

Form: 52281-0

Blakeney Point^b,t⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 124| D

16/1

Sprung a surprise when scoring at Musselburgh on New Year's Day. More miss than hit since but ran okay tackling a longer trip than previously at Cartmel (22.1f) in May. Off since.

Form: 15002-6

Ingleby Hollow^p,t²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: R Menzies| OR: 121| D

6/1

Successful last 2 Flat starts and looked unlucky not to win the Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen in July, closing fast from long way back when denied a run late on. Potentially thrown-in on yard debut.

Form: 4363F-5

Peaked Too Soon^t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: C Gethings| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 122| D

7/1

Fair form in bumpers and needed only to run to a similar level to win his first 2 outings over hurdles. Wasn't beaten far under a double penalty at Stratford but opening mark requires improvement.

Form: 32P-113

Beeno^h²⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 10-9| J: C O'Farrell| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 116

9/1

Veteran front runner who has been given a chance by the handicapper and ran better than for a while when third at Cartmel (17.2f) 4 weeks ago. Eased a further 3 lb and not ruled out.

Form: 1905-73

Golden Town¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 115| CD

14/1

Bounced backed from a couple of lesser efforts when third in small-field event over C&D 17 days ago, but the form is hardly reliable.

Form: 2-32573

Island Nation¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 109| CD

9/4

Fair middle-distance handicapper on Flat for Heather Main. Opened hurdles account in impressive fashion over C&D 18 days ago and seems sure to improve again now he's up and running.

Form: 5044-1

Forecasts

Island Nation (9/4), Historic Heart (9/2), Mrs Hyde (9/2), Ingleby Hollow (6/1), Peaked Too Soon (7/1), Beeno (9/1), Golden Town (14/1), Blakeney Point (16/1)

INGLEBY HOLLOW is in rude health at present having been successful on his last 2 Flat starts, and now back over hurdles for a new yard, he’s taken to gain compensation for a luckless late run in the Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen in July. Mrs Hyde is not one to write off given her solid novice form, while Island Nation also needs taking seriously on the back of an impressive C&D win.
