Cazoo Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:25 | Winning time: 3m 51.38s

Peterborough^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 105| D

11/2

Campaigned largely over fences in recent years, but showed he can still make an impact over hurdles when third at Plumpton (2m) 22 days ago. High on the shortlist.

Form: 54U243

Yauthym¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 104| BF| D

7/2

Made the most of a good opportunity when scoring in maiden company at Worcester (2m) in May but she hasn't built on that since, including in handicaps.

Form: 23-1345

Miss M^t⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Fergus Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 104| DWS

11/1

Fair 2m winning hurdler. Ran poorly at Hexham when last seen in August but she's subsequently had wind surgery and is starting to look nicely handicapped. Market support could prove significant.

Form: 14F4-58

Pink Jazz^t⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: G Sheehan| T: S Curran| OR: 102

8/1

Three AW Flat wins last winter but but hasn't shown enough in 2 hurdle starts this autumn to strongly fancy her chances here.

Form: 356-37

Dream Machine^b1,t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 97

3/1

Three-time Flat winner who landed a maiden hurdle in June 2019. Mixed record since but is fairly handicapped and perhaps a change of headgear (first-time blinkers replacing visor) will boost him.

Form: 4F4-5P4

Titaneasy^h³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Joshua Newman⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 91

33/1

Little to get excited about in various company. Makes handicap hurdle debut here.

Form: 466-457

Blue Beirut¹⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 90

50/1

Modest maiden on Flat and no sign he's going to do any better over hurdles, pulling up in a Ludlow handicap when last seen in May.

Form: 854F-P

Timeforadance¹⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: R T Dunne| T: B Eckley| OR: 89

6/1

Poor form, pulling up in a Ffos Las handicap when last seen in May.

Form: 5/7946-P

The Garrison^v1¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 86| D

12/1

Successful from a 13 lb higher mark at Uttoxeter last autumn but it's been all downhill since. pulling up at Chepstow last time. A first-time visor will need to make a difference.

Form: 0PP-P8P

Bold Red^h⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽⁵⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 77

50/1

Well held in a bumper and 3 novice hurdles so far. Fell early when 25/1 for chase/handicap debut here last week.

Form: 0V580-F

Oneonechop^b,t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 93

18/1

Fairly useful on the Flat in France. Recent hurdle efforts have lacked spark but some of the form he showed over the summer gives him a chance.

Form: 323050

Fitz The Brief^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R Dickin| OR: 76

28/1

Showed a bit in a bumper prior to some inauspicious displays over hurdles. Does have a low mark to work with now handicapping but he's still hard to make a strong case for.

Form: 5-64P7

Joint Account^p1³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Frankland| OR: 70

80/1

Yet to better poor form to date and he was down the field on last month's return from a break at Uttoxeter.

Form: 055-408

Forecasts

Dream Machine (3/1), Yauthym (7/2), Peterborough (11/2), Timeforadance (6/1), Pink Jazz (8/1), Miss M (11/1), The Garrison (12/1), Ascot Day (16/1), Oneonechop (18/1), Fitz The Brief (28/1), Titaneasy (33/1), Bold Red (50/1), Blue Beirut (50/1), Joint Account (80/1)

The most sold option here is PETERBOROUGH who ran well back hurdling at Plumpton last month. Miss M and Dream Machine can both be made to look well treated if a respective wind op and headgear change have a positive effect and rate possible threats in a finale where few very arrive with recent good efforts behind them.
