Slingsby Gin Peak Cap & Pearls Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 13:26 | Winning time: 4m 59.53s

One Night In Milan¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 135

4/1

Arrives in winning from from the Flat this autumn, so fairly useful hurdler/chaser can't be discounted.

Form: 33/P28P-

Solo Saxophone^v¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 130| BF| C| D

5/1

Temperamental sort who scored on the level at Newmarket 15 days ago. Back hurdling now but others remain more persuasive.

Form: 511322/

Perfect Man^t¹⁶⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 127| D

33/1

20/1, not disgraced on first run since leaving Sophie Leech when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, good) 168 days ago. More is needed now though.

Form: 740P-37

Earlofthecotswolds^p²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 127

9/4

Back from 6 months off with good third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) 28 days ago. Merits consideration for yard among the winners.

Form: 24150-3

Weebill¹⁸⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Adrian Heskin| T: O Murphy| OR: 122| D

15/2

Fairly useful 20f hurdle winner at his best. Off 29 months before fading eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f) in May. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 12163/8

Quest For Life^p²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 118| D

14/1

Dual scorer last winter but off 7 months before coming in last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (20f) 27 days ago. Should strip fitter now.

Form: 4/1143-6

Floki⁸⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 118| DWS

15/2

Oft track for over 2 years and has had wind op since impressively landing 20f handicap hurdle at Ffos Las. Still unexposed, and not taken lightly despite his absence.

Form: 85311/

Desaray Girl²¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 115| D

11/2

Yet to score for current yard, and she was pulled up in handicap hurdle at Ayr (3m) in April. Needs to hit the ground running on her comeback run.

Form: 044P5P-

Forecasts

Earlofthecotswolds (9/4), One Night In Milan (4/1), Solo Saxophone (5/1), Desaray Girl (11/2), Weebill (15/2), Floki (15/2), Quest For Life (14/1), Perfect Man (33/1)

EARLOFTHECOTSWOLDS returned with a good Market Rasen third yet can race off a 2 lb lower mark now so he can provide another winner for his in-form team. Floki has a 29-month absence to overcome but is still feared most for the all-conquering Skelton yard, with One Night In Milan shorlisted too given his winning recent form on the level.
