Ringwood Razorback Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 13:00 | Winning time: 3m 59.03s

King Ferdinand^h¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 100

33/1

Showed a bit when fourth on Warwick hurdle bow in May. Well held on both subsequent starts but it certainly wouldn't be a surprise were he to get his career back on track now handicapping.

Form: 65-478

Lonimoss Bareliere^t²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: David England| T: D Skelton| OR: 96

11/4

Improved form when second of 15 on C&D reappearance 29 days ago. Went down only to an improver on that occasion so a 3 lb rise looks fair. Leading contender for his top yard.

Form: 6674/4-2

Rootless Tree²³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 96| D

7/1

Has come down a long way in the weights and finally offered some encouragement when fourth of 16 over 19.5f at Chepstow in March. Drop back to 2m may help on return. Keep an eye on in betting.

Form: F06564-

Old Jewry^b1⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: D Bourke| OR: 95

10/1

Landed 3 wins in a productive 2020/21. Below par so far this season but has come back to a favourable mark as a result. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Form: 21-8997

Court Jurado¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 94| D

3/1

Struggled over fences of late but much better signs back hurdling for his in-form yard when going down by only a short head over C&D 15 days ago. Prominent showing likely if showing up in same form.

Form: 3-46452

That Ole Chestnut^h²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: David Prichard⁽⁵⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 84

7/1

Poor form but did run his best race when third of 6 in 17f Newton Abbot handicap on his reappearance 23 days ago. That gives him something to build on.

Form: 6/498P-3

Letter At Dawn²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: M Goldstein| T: M J Attwater| OR: 82

12/1

Little show in 3 starts over hurdles for Nigel Hawke but has been placed twice in Flat handicaps since joining this yard. Possible improver in his first handicap over hurdles.

Form: 5P8-

Johnny Mac^t²³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: James Best| T: T R Gretton| OR: 78

28/1

Well held in 3 maiden/novice hurdles last season. Has a low opening handicap mark as a result but he's still a tough one to make a case for.

Form: P57-

Diamond Joel¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Page Fuller| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 71

13/2

Poor form but made a creditable return from a break when third over C&D (soft) 15 days ago. Races from 3 lb out of the handicap here.

Form: 06-9553

Gavin^h,t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Danny Burton⁽⁵⁾| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 85

33/1

Modest form standout effort on Flat at 1½m. Has raced freely when down the field in juvenile hurdles and will need to settle better now handicapping.

Form: 865

Naasik^v⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Norton| OR: 68

66/1

Remains a maiden after 30 runs and faces another uphill task from 6 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Lonimoss Bareliere (11/4), Court Jurado (3/1), Diamond Joel (13/2), That Ole Chestnut (7/1), Rootless Tree (7/1), Leopolds Rock (8/1), Old Jewry (10/1), Letter At Dawn (12/1), Mountain Hawk (25/1), Johnny Mac (28/1), Gavin (33/1), King Ferdinand (33/1), Naasik (66/1)

LONIMOSS BARELIERE chased home one who was completing a hat-trick on his C&D reappearance and he could be the way to go if he can back that up. A return to hurdles sparked Court Jurado back to life last time and he'll be a threat if in similar form. Rootless Tree could also have a part to play if primed for this reappearance.
