Claire Dyson Equine Water Treadmill Conditional Jockeys' Selling Hurdle

Off time: 13:31 | Winning time: 4m 36.61s

Eclair Des Sablons^p⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Katy Price| OR: 97| D

6/1

Followed narrow Exeter breakthrough success in April with a near miss at the same course six days later. Gone downhill since, but couldn't rule out now eased in grade all the same.

Form: 2-76380

He's A Goer^b,t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Fergus Gregory| T: B Leavy| OR: 93

22/1

Offered little last season and it's been much the same in 3 starts since returning from a break/wind op this time round.

Form: 0P6-PP7

Junior Massini²¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽³⁾| T: H James

150/1

Sent off at 150/1 and never sighted on debut in a Huntingdon bumper during the spring.

Form: 8-

Largy Mouth^t1¹⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁶⁾| T: S England| OR: 107| BF

11/4

Fair in bumpers and similar form when on his game over hurdles. Found to be lame subsequent to poor display in this grade at Hexham on latest start in May and tongue strap added for this yard debut.

Form: 64448-6

Secret Secret^t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: K Brogan| T: G Harris| OR: 102

10/3

Winless following 15 attempts in Ireland (Flat and jumps), but placed on a couple of occasions in maiden/novice company earlier this year and worth a second look down in grade for new yard here.

Form: 329570

Gaia Vallis¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 82

4/1

Fontwell chase winner in the spring who was also runner-up in a novice hurdle there last month. Didn't get very far back over fences at Plumpton recently and better expected back in this sphere.

Form: F0424F

Telekinetic¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr Jason Dixon| T: A W Carroll| OR: 76

20/1

Dual winner at around 1¼m on the Flat, but remains a maiden in this sphere following 10 attempts, well held when third dropped to this grade here 12 days ago.

Form: R9-5643

The Three Wizards^p1,t⁷⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: J Coulson| OR: 82

25/1

Placed in a novices' seller here and in claiming company at Fontwell in May before a no-show switched to fences at Market Rasen last time. Work to do on these terms.

Form: 07P-32P

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 20p in the pound

Non-Runners

Humaniste¹⁶⁵

Weight: 10-12| Age: 6

T: M Young J: Liam Harrison

Forecasts

Humaniste (10/11), Largy Mouth (11/4), Secret Secret (10/3), Gaia Vallis (4/1), Eclair Des Sablons (6/1), Telekinetic (20/1), He's A Goer (22/1), The Three Wizards (25/1), Junior Massini (150/1)

On the face of it ECLAIR DES SABLONS faces no easy task on these terms, but it remains to be seen if likely favourite Humaniste will be able to live up to his current BHA mark on debut for new connections and, if he fails to do so, Katy Price's charge could be the one to capitalise. The 7-y-o has been out of sorts of late, but this drop in grade will help. Secret Secret is best of the rest.
