Micky Boughey, Cobblers To 'Em All Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:20 | Winning time: 6m 43.50s

Colonial Dreams³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 133

28/1

Raced sparingly in recent seasons, but made a promising chasing debut when runner-up in a Newbury handicap in December. Pulled up on both subsequent starts, so probably best watched for now.

Form: 032-2PP

Skandiburg^t⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Page Fuller| T: Charlotte Fuller| OR: 132

8/1

Made a positive start for this stable at Newbury in November but has failed to back it up on both subsequent outings. Significant step back up in trip is a positive.

Form: 32-5559

Boss Man Fred¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 125

4/1

Inadequate tests when well held first 2 starts this season after a 15-month absence but firmly back on track upped in distance at Doncaster last month. Every chance he can feature here.

Form: 14/3-672

Farrants Way^p1⁷³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 124| D

11/1

Fairly useful 25f hurdles winner who failed to impress in the jumping department on the back of a wind op on chase bow at Haydock 73 days ago. Reverts back over hurdles with cheekpieces applied.

Form: 1/372P-P

In Rem²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Chester Williams⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 120| CD

11/4

Has proved to be a different proposition since switched to handicaps for new yard, completing the 5-timer over C&D 29 days ago. Up another 5 lb, but there's no saying he's reached his limit just yet.

Form: 5-11111

Bobo Mac^b²²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: David Noonan| T: T Symonds| OR: 118| C| D

33/1

Useful staying chaser at best but hasn't really been firing so far this term, the blinkers failing to have a positive effect at Ascot last month.

Form: 3-92U57

Deluxe Range^p⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 115

13/2

Winning hurdler who made an inauspicious start over fences to end 2021. Best excused the run back over hurdles last time and has dropped to a handy mark on the pick of last season's novice form.

Form: 323-455

Guillemot^v²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly| OR: 114

5/2

Big career best after a wind op when scoring in impressive fashion at Ascot just over 3 weeks ago. 10 lb hike makes life tougher but he's only a 6-y-o and may have more to offer over long distances.

Form: 3-82FP1

Forecasts

Guillemot (5/2), In Rem (11/4), Boss Man Fred (4/1), Deluxe Range (13/2), Skandiburg (8/1), Farrants Way (11/1), Colonial Dreams (28/1), Bobo Mac (33/1)

With DELUXE RANGE's most recent effort back over the timber easy to excuse, Sandy Thompson's charge has dropped to a handy mark judged on the pick of last season's novice form so he's afforded the vote in a race where cases can be made for a few. The main danger could be In Rem, who arrives chasing an impressive 6-timer, while others to consider are Guillemot and Boss Man Fred.
