Cazoo Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:02 | Winning time: 5m 16.50s

Alrightjack³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 120| D

17/2

Scored at Fontwell in Novermber but hasn't fired on either start since. Handicapper looks in charge.

Form: 5-23189

Point Of Principle^t,v²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 117| D

16/1

Infrequent winner who has slipped in the weights and produced his most encouraging effort of the current campaign when fourth over C&D a month ago. Could get involved if he can build on that.

Form: 7P-4PP4

The Street²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 112

7/2

Unplaced in points but has shown fair form over hurdles to this point, fourth of 16 in a novice at Doncaster 24 days ago. In good hands and nicely bred, so potential improver now handicapping.

Form: 5734

Smith's Bay¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Gundry| OR: 110| D

66/1

Fair winning hurdler for Alan King but he failed to go on in three runs over fences last term and didn't offer much on debut for current yard back in this sphere at Wincanton on return.

Form: 27/F4-75

Eaton Collina²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 108

16/5

Lightly-raced hurdler who upped his game when second at Bangor on reappearance. That form looks strong and this stiffer track/stronger pace should play to his strengths, so boasts excellent claims.

Form: 4/230-32

Bourbali⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 107| CD

13/2

Returned with C&D handicap win before good in-frame efforts at Exeter and Plumpton respectively. Should give another good account, although this mark clearly demands improvement.

Form: 675-143

Treasure Dillon²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 106| CD

9/1

Scored at Ffos Las in December and far from discredited when third from a 5-lb higher mark at Ludlow 25 days ago. should give another good account, but others look better treated.

Form: F58/513

Manofmanywords⁶³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: T J O'Brien| T: J Scott| OR: 104

5/1

Winning pointer who showed promise on his third and final outing last season. Handicap/seasonal debut at Exeter a couple of months ago was respectable, and he's unexposed for his age.

Form: 11/893-5

Megaudais Speed⁸⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: Mrs L J Young| OR: 102| CD

20/1

Point winner who improved for the switch to positive tactics when readily making all over C&D in April. Below best so far this season, however.

Form: P/261-03

Kenyan Cowboy¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Max Kendrick| T: N B King| OR: 98| BF| CD

12/1

Has been more hit than miss since scoring over C&D in November, his latest effort here 18 days ago a tame one, so others are more persuasive.

Form: 7F1639

Forecasts

Full Of Light (3/1), Eaton Collina (16/5), The Street (7/2), Manofmanywords (5/1), Bourbali (13/2), Feivel (7/1), Alrightjack (17/2), Treasure Dillon (9/1), Crystal Gazing (10/1), Kenyan Cowboy (12/1), Oneupmanship (12/1), Point Of Principle (16/1), One For Billy (16/1), Megaudais Speed (20/1), Smith's Bay (66/1)

EATON COLLINA chased a subsequent winner home while pulling clear of the remainder at Bangor last time and this stiffer track should be to his liking, so he takes marginal preference over last-time-out Plumpton scorer Full of Light, who is going the right way. Feivel remains with potential and could make his presence felt with an error-free round of jumping.
