Jump Season Starts Now Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 12:10 | Winning time: 6m 10.64s

Sammylou^t¹⁷³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 120

7/1

Successful 3 times last season (at 26.5f) and enhanced good strike rate since returned to timber when landing 4-runner Fontwell handicap (25.7f) in May. High on shortlist back from a break.

Form: 2113-61

Morraman²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Theo Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 119

9/2

Model of consistency upon returning this term, drawing clear to end losing run stretching back 2½ years at Musselburgh (23.8f) in October. No surprise to see him go well again.

Form: 0-64421

Catchmeifyoucan¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 116| D

9/1

Enjoyed a productive summer, landing back-to-back staying handicaps at Uttoxeter/Cartmel in July. Good efforts next 3 starts and whilst below best at Musselburgh latest, she's likely to bounce back.

Form: 112268

Classic Escape^p³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: C J Todd| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 114

22/1

Opened account for present yard over fences at Southwell (24.2f) 12 months ago. Jumping often a concern though, and well held on return last month. Lower in weights in this sphere at least.

Form: U212F-9

Bari Breeze¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 107

7/2

Fairly useful bumper winner who, in line with yard's excellent form, ran best race to date when second in a Fontwell maiden hurdle (17.7f) 2 weeks ago. Likely more to come now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 431252

Kauto D'Amour¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Thomas Willmott⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 107

10/1

Dual hurdles winner who looked set to step up on his reappearance run when falling last at Sedgefield (19.8f) 2 weeks ago (may have been placed). Not dismissed operating from last winning mark.

Form: 6213-6F

Tomorrow's Angel¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 107| C

13/2

Proved as good as ever when second over 27f at Sedgefield in September. Scored on Flat here (15.8f) later that month and not disgraced under either code since but couple of others appeal more.

Form: 2210-25

White Walker^t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: K Brogan| T: G Hanmer| OR: 95| BF

3/1

Positive start for present stable, getting off the mark in good style at Market Rasen (23f) in August. Held form well since but he does need to keep the errors to a minimum.

Form: 221434

Non-Runners

Another Theatre²⁰

Weight: 11-12| Age: 8

T: P A Kirby J: Joe Williamson

Forecasts

White Walker (3/1), Bari Breeze (7/2), Morraman (9/2), Tomorrow's Angel (13/2), Sammylou (7/1), Catchmeifyoucan (9/1), Kauto D'Amour (10/1), Another Theatre (12/1), Classic Escape (22/1)

Successful 3 times during 2020, SAMMYLOU impressed with his jumping when adding to his tally at Fontwell (25.7f) in May. Running off a 2 lb lower mark here allowing for his rider's claim, he looks sure to go well again, with the Fergal O'Brien yard in red-hot form. Morraman for Donald McCain is feared, whilst Kauto d'Amour also makes some each-way appeal.
