William Hill Betting TV Handicap Hurdle (Div 1)

Off time: 16:21 | Winning time: 4m 7.88s

Well Planted²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: R M Smith| OR: 105

14/1

Caused a 25/1 upset in a 4-runner novice at Musselburgh last month but was well beaten from this mark on his last handicap start and doesn't appeal as an obvious type to follow up.

Form: F24581

Above Suspicion⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 103

7/1

Shaped slightly better than result when mid-field at Southwell last time and would have a chance in this company on his previous Huntingdon third. Jumping can be an issue, though.

Form: 343P37

Blooriedotcom^t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 102| D

4/1

Creditable placed efforts at Musselburgh earlier this year but couldn't justify market support there last time. Still hard to rule out in this lower grade.

Form: P-54336

Snowy Clouds³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 101| D

11/1

Ran best race when second of 3 on handicap debut at Carlisle last month, though didn't look obviously ahead of his mark. Lightly raced enough for possible improvement, though.

Form: 1-6502

Rock On Tommy^p,t³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 94| D

10/1

Scored at Leicester in December but went with little fluency after a break at Warwick last time and this mark looks beyond one of the more exposed runners in the field.

Form: 364516

Ultra Violet^p⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: C O'Farrell| T: N W Alexander| OR: 97

22/1

Fairly useful on Flat in France but form over hurdles looks muddling and probably remains best watched back in a handicap.

Form: 43F33

Monfass^h²²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-8| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin| OR: 87

11/2

Keen-going veteran who has held his form rather well this year, in the frame at Newcastle and Market Rasen on last 2 outings. Drop in trip should be beneficial and he has to be taken seriously.

Form: 3/00524

Jackhammer⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 84

4/1

First run after a wind op when sixth at Musselburgh last time, merely passing beaten horses. Possible he'll benefit from that run but he doesn't look an obvious winner in waiting.

Form: 53/9326

Annies Regatta²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: W Coltherd| OR: 82| BF

4/1

Much better when second at Carlisle 25 days ago and can give another good account, having been rather leniently dropped 2 lb.

Form: 458742

Breaking Records^t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: S Mulqueen| T: M A Barnes| OR: 77

40/1

Modest sprinter on the Flat who hasn't taken to at all to hurdling. Easily opposd on handicap debut.

Form: U09P74

Forecasts

Jackhammer (4/1), Blooriedotcom (4/1), Annies Regatta (4/1), Monfass (11/2), Above Suspicion (7/1), Rock On Tommy (10/1), Snowy Clouds (11/1), Well Planted (14/1), Ultra Violet (22/1), Breaking Records (40/1)

ANNIES REGATTA has shown promise in a pair of mares' handicaps and can take advantage of her feather-weight to get off the mark here. This is an easier assignment for Blooriedotcom, who may pose the biggest danger, whilst the strong-travelling Monfass has also been in good heart lately.
