Sprayclad UK Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:13 | Winning time: 4m 55.12s

Coulonces¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-3| J: Alain Cawley| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 117| D

16/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler for Gavin Patrick Cromwell. Respectable start for this yard when fourth at Kilbeggan but reportedly bled when well held at Listowel 17 days ago.

Form: 18-2147

Kauto D'Amour¹⁸⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 112| D

11/2

In good form in the spring, beaten only by one well ahead of its mark over C&D before going one better at Newcastle. Signed off with creditable third at Wetherby. Off 6 months.

Form: 2/86213-

True Romance^p⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 111

5/2

Fairly useful over hurdles in 2019 and in good form on the level for new yard this summer, so not completely discounted off a fair mark.

Form: 1224/0-

Just Call Me Al^t⁸^{(ex 7)}

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: G Boanas| OR: 102| CD

9/4

Didn't shape badly on the back of a wind op when fourth at Hexham (2m) and duly built on that when scoring over C&D last week with a bit in hand. Obvious claims under a penalty.

Form: 5-53P41

Cash Again²⁰²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 106| CD

20/1

Ended a losing run over hurdles over C&D in December and followed up in Hexham handicap chase in March, staying on to lead dying strides. Respected on the back of an absence in hat-trick bid.

Form: P24611-

Moore Clouds^h³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Callum Bewley| T: A Wilson| OR: 95

17/2

Winning pointer but has pulled hard all 3 starts over hurdles. Seemed to show much-improved form after 6 months off when second of 5 in C&D novice but was allowed a huge lead. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 124/08-2

Joie De Vivre¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Danny McMenamin| T: M Todhunter| OR: 95

11/2

Has edged back down the weights (now 2 lb below last winning mark) and arrives here on the back of a respectable effort on the Flat. Not taken lightly.

Form: 323-679

Forecasts

Just Call Me Al (9/4), True Romance (5/2), Joie De Vivre (11/2), Kauto D'Amour (11/2), Low Profile (7/1), Moore Clouds (17/2), Coulonces (16/1), Cash Again (20/1)

JUST CALL ME AL was a decisive winner over C&D last week and can defy a penalty for his in-form yard. True Romance has been in good form on the Flat for his new yard this summer so is an interesting runner back over hurdles, while Kauto d'Amour and Cash Again were both in good heart when last seen.
