Racing TV Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

Off time: 16:15 | Winning time: 4m 11.46s

Foster'sisland¹⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 106| CD

5/2

Wide-margin back-to-back winner in February. Assessor appeared to catch up with him thereafter but he still warrants consideration on this return to action.

Form: P31133-

Low Profile^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 104

4/1

Modest 14f Flat winner who stepped up on hurdling debut effort when runner-up in a Hexham maiden. Respectable third on handicap bow at Market Rasen 19 days ago (18.8f) and stiffer track should suit.

Form: 423

Oakmont⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Danny McMenamin| T: James Moffatt| OR: 101| D

11/2

Belatedly off the mark in a Cartmel selling handicap in June but struggled back there on both subsequent outings, so perhaps the assessor is in charge for now.

Form: 757-155

Presentedwithwings¹⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Alain Cawley| T: D Bourke| OR: 100

8/1

Hereford maiden winner. Given a chance by the handicapper but failed to build on previous promise when only fifth at Worcester in May and has since left Tom Symonds. Down in trip.

Form: 40554-5

Dan Gun⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: S Waugh| OR: 97

40/1

Resurgent upon joining Dan Skelton, capitalising on reduced mark to land handicaps at Stratford/Bangor. Handicapper caught up with him, and was again well held on yard debut at Cartmel last time.

Form: 9115-59

Wor Verge^t¹³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Coltherd| T: S Corbett| OR: 97| BF

17/2

In good form when last seen in the spring, winning at Perth before being collared late at Hexham. Wasn't seen to best effect at latter course on latest outing and remains of interest at this level.

Form: 3731-25

Set In Stone¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 94

5/1

Placed twice in handicap hurdles prior to winning a pair of jumpers last winter. Below form last 2 starts over hurdles but she could bounce back now returning to this code fit from the Flat.

Form: 311084-

She's A Rocca²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| OR: 90

9/1

Strong in market when winning Ayr bumper on debut in 2019. Last season's hurdling exploits were essentially disappointing but she shaped better than the bare result on her Perth reappearance.

Form: 4647P-7

Baraboy¹⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-1| J: Craig Nichol| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 79| D

80/1

Fair hurdler at best but was well held back from a mammoth absence at Sedgefield 16 days ago and it remains to be seen how much ability he retains.

Form: U4249/0

Forecasts

Foster'sisland (5/2), Low Profile (4/1), Set In Stone (5/1), Oakmont (11/2), Presentedwithwings (8/1), Wor Verge (17/2), She's A Rocca (9/1), Dan Gun (40/1), Baraboy (80/1)

WOR VERGE was in good order when last seen in the spring and still looks feasibly treated judged on his very best form, so providing he's fit enough to do himself justice following a break, he could prove up to the task. Low Profile and Foster'sisland head the dangers.
