Triple A Event Security Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:17 | Winning time: 5m 14.10s

Neverbeen To Paris⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Bryony Frost| T: P G Murphy| OR: 111| D

10/3

Arrives on a long losing run, but he's fallen in the weights and recorded an excellent third of 11 in handicap at Wincanton (21.4f, good) 8 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off an unchanged mark.

Form: 60-7633

Subway Surf^t¹⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 110| BF

6/1

Still to add to her two bumper wins, and below-form odds-on second of 6 in 2m novice at Southwell back in May. Needs to bounce back on her return.

Form: 5/552-22

Jumping Cats^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 109

3/1

Is finally getting his act together over hurdles, and bids for a hat-trick after recent handicap wins at Fontwell and Fakenham (20f). Not taken lightly despite taking an 8 lb hike in the weights.

Form: 155-P11

Glasha's Peak¹⁸⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Ben Jones| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 107

10/1

Lighty-raced hurdler who posted her best effort on her handicap bow when fourth at Fontwell (19.2f, good) in May. No surprise to see her step forward again on her return for in-form yard.

Form: 45P/38-4

Jen's Boy^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 107

18/1

Fair winner at his best, but he finished tamely for third race in succession when fourth of 5 in 25f handicap at Hereford 20 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 2P-3384

Dell Oro¹⁷⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: J M Quinlan| T: D Steele| OR: 106

12/1

Fairly useful hurdler/chase winner for Gary Moore but he's offering little for his current yard, off track since sixth of 11 in 20f handicap at Worcester in May. Hard to warm to.

Form: PP/039-6

Good News^p¹⁸²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 103| C

14/1

Course winner but off since pulled up in handicap at Warwick (25f) 6 months ago. Cheekpieces replace visor now with work to do.

Form: F4P41-P

Methag³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 102| BF| D

14/1

It's now eleven runs since her last win in 2019, and pulled up in handicap at Hexham (20f) 31 days ago. She needs to get back on track.

Form: 75-327P

Hey Bud¹⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: L Hurley| OR: 100

28/1

Fair 20f winner at his best, but he finished lame when pulled up in handicap at Worcester (23f) on his yard bow in June. Has it to prove on his comeback run.

Form: 84P-F4P

Henschke^t²³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: D A Jacob| T: W Greatrex| OR: 100

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Tongue strap on when improved third of 12 in handicap at Hereford (21.7f, heavy) in March. Can't be dismissed on his seasonal return off the same mark.

Form: 08U53-

Lincoln Lyn^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: James Best| T: T R Gretton| OR: 94

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Settled better and showed some improvement on her handicap bow when staying-on second of 6 at Stratford (19f) 28 days ago. She's not taken lightly upped slightly in trip.

Form: 2P4-52

Vital Sign¹⁹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Ben Ffrench Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 81

50/1

Poor maiden who reverts to this sphere having been twice pulled up from three runs over fences in the spring. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 70P/P5P-

Forecasts

Jumping Cats (3/1), Neverbeen To Paris (10/3), Subway Surf (6/1), Henschke (17/2), Glasha's Peak (10/1), Dell Oro (12/1), Methag (14/1), Lincoln Lyn (14/1), Good News (14/1), Jen's Boy (18/1), Hey Bud (28/1), Vital Sign (50/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest, and the well-weighted NEVERBEEN TO PARIS should make a bold bid to end his losing run after his excellent third at Wincanton off a much-reduced mark. Hat-trick seeking Jumping Cats rates the obvious threat, despite having a career-high mark to overcome, with the returning Glasha's Peak not ruled out either for a yard going well.
