Auto Services Perth Maxus Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:50 | Winning time: 4m 56.8s

Do No Wrong¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: Justin Landy| OR: 96| D

13/8

Off the mark at fourth attempt over timber when taking 12-runner handicap at Sedgefield (19.8f, good to firm) 11 days ago. 6 lb rise fair and another bold bid on the cards.

Form: PP-3241

Deputy Jones^p,t¹³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 92

7/1

Point winner who remains a maiden following 14 runs over hurdles. Below form when last seen at Taunton in April and makes limited appeal.

Form: 6/60429-

Rock On Tommy^t⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 91

14/1

Offered more, in first-time tongue strap, when third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, good) 49 days ago. Still relatively low mileage and merits consideration.

Form: 7488-63

Salley Gardens^t1¹⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 90

6/1

No real impact over hurdles, including in handicaps on last 3 starts. Tries a longer trip/first-time tongue strap now but remains with plenty to prove.

Form: 347000-

Flood Defence^t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Danny McMenamin| T: I Jardine| OR: 90

22/1

Took a step back in right direction when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Claims if building on that here.

Form: 3/020-64

Petite Rhapsody^h²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 87

66/1

Just modest form, at best, over hurdles thus far and arrives on back of disappointing effort here last month.

Form: 0-37540

Luca Brasi's Boy^t⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 84WS

11/1

Posted best effort to date when third at Hexham (23.3f) in June. Below that level here the following month but had a wind operation since and can't be ruled out.

Form: 62UP-39

Cosheston^v¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 84

6/1

Posted creditable efforts last twice, latest when third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good to soft) 13 days ago. One for shortlist.

Form: P/83-833

Clouncerna^v³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: C O'Farrell| T: R Menzies| OR: 80

7/1

Posted one of better efforts, under a positive ride, when third of 13 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Market Rasen (18.6f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can reproduce that, however.

Form: 97-VU63

Go Complain^p⁷⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Reed| T: Mrs J C McGregor| OR: 72

250/1

Runner-up in a Sligo maiden hurdle back in July 2018, but hasn't come close to matching that form since.

Form: 0P0/PP-P

Centenier^t⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: N W Alexander| OR: 70WS

14/1

Found some improvement when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at this course (23.9f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Had a wind operation since and is worth a second look in the market.

Form: 7P-6054

Kitty's Cove^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Ross Chapman| T: M Todhunter| OR: 69

50/1

Modest winner on Flat but poor maiden over hurdles who was well held at this course in July. Cheekpieces on now (first time in this sphere) but remains hard to recommend. 1 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 968-5P7

Forecasts

Do No Wrong (13/8), Salley Gardens (6/1), Cosheston (6/1), Deputy Jones (7/1), Clouncerna (7/1), The Darley Lama (8/1), Luca Brasi's Boy (11/1), Centenier (14/1), Rock On Tommy (14/1), Rickety Gate (14/1), Flood Defence (22/1), Kitty's Cove (50/1), Petite Rhapsody (66/1), Go Complain (250/1)

Preference is for DO NO WRONG, who made a winning handicap debut at Sedgefield last month and remains fairly treated. Cosheston and Rock On Tommy head the list of dangers.
