Goodwin Telephone Betting Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:31 | Winning time: 4m 1.44s

Lusitanien^h¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 99

13/2

Leaves the impression he has a bigger effort in him over hurdles, shaping well on return/handicap debut at Chepstow, then brought down early at Sedgefield. One to consider down in trip.

Form: 033-6B

Fort De L'Ocean^p,t⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: M Roberts| OR: 99| D

Form: 824422

Follow Intello³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 97

25/1

Successful twice on the level for Chris Wall in 2019. Shown a bit in 2 novice hurdles in recent months and could do better now handicapping.

Form: 44

Clongowes^b,t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: D Steele| OR: 96

8/1

Never really carried a win threat when third at Lingfield (23f) 4 weeks ago but has dipped a bit more in the weights and has gone well here previously. Down markedly in trip.

Form: 6733-P3

Gino Wotimean^h1⁷⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Tom Cannon| T: Noel Williams| OR: 96

25/1

Was shaping up well over hurdles when last seen 2 years ago. 8 lb lower on return with headgear tried and big run could be on the way if retaining ability.

Form: 55F3/

Bolsover Bill²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex| OR: 90

33/1

Well held in bumpers/3 quick runs over hurdles. Could do better now handicapping, though his mark doesn't look all that appealing.

Form: 8-7000

Jembug Drummer^p⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford| OR: 89

11/1

Fairly useful hurdles winner in 2019. Hasn't come close to matching that since, including when well backed in first-time cheekpieces on return for new yard at Lingfield 6 weeks ago. Down another 3 lb.

Form: 6/P66P-6

Sawpit Sienna^p,t²⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Alain Cawley| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 87

6/1

Improved in handicaps last season, winning at Fakenham (20f) and second 3 times, including over C&D (good form), after. Can go well again on return.

Form: 8/12282-

Karakoram^p,t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Jones| T: G Harris| OR: 85| D

9/2

Losing run dates back to 2019 but dropped a long way in the weights and in-frame efforts this autumn, including a second in C&D seller 4 weeks ago, confirm he's in good order.

Form: 77-4242

Global Wonder⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J & S Best| OR: 79| CD

8/1

C&D winner who scored on the level at Brighton in October and wasn't seen to best effect back over hurdles at Lingfield subsequently. On a good mark and wouldn't dismiss.

Form: 519-505

Hey Bob^t⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 77| BF| D

6/1

Weak finisher although he's run well in second in similar handicaps the last twice, his Kelso effort under this rider proving strong form for the grade. One to consider.

Form: 52-3922

Jumping Jack^p²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: P Butler| OR: 74| CD

66/1

Fairly useful handicap hurdler at best but little to shout about for some time now.

Form: P-7U985

Forecasts

Karakoram (9/2), Fort De L'Ocean (11/2), Hey Bob (6/1), Sawpit Sienna (6/1), Lusitanien (13/2), Global Wonder (8/1), Clongowes (8/1), Jembug Drummer (11/1), Gino Wotimean (25/1), Follow Intello (25/1), Bolsover Bill (33/1), Jumping Jack (66/1)

SAWPIT SIENNA won on her return last season and can repeat the feat. The form of her C&D second in January reads well in the context of this race and she's still fairly lightly raced. Hey Bob has a poor strike rate but is in good heart for his new yard. Global Wonder and Lusitanien are a couple of others to consider.
