William Hill Betting TV Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

Off time: 16:55 | Winning time: 4m 12.33s

Malangen¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Dowson| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 104

5/1

Temperamental sort but improved from return when third of 12 at Kelso earlier this month. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 9-65203

Ben Brody^b⁵¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-11| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁵⁾| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 103| D

12/1

Resumed with 2m hurdle win at Uttoxeter in December but hasn't fired on 3 starts since, including twice over fences. Hard to know what sort of form he's in on hurdles return.

Form: 1P-1254

Fathers Advice⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 102

16/1

Best effort when fourth of 11 in novice hurdle at Wetherby in January but not for the first time disappointed on handicap debut at Carlisle when last seen. Can get back on track in thin race.

Form: 20P745

Jack Yeats⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: D R Fox| T: W Coltherd| OR: 90

4/1

Best effort this season when fourth of 12 at Musselburgh last time, having given the winner most to think about in front. Still well treated on best form and isn't taken lightly.

Form: 0-06664

Les's Legacy⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Craig Nichol| T: S Corbett| OR: 88

6/1

Clear of rest when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (2m, good) in December but he has shown little either start since.

Form: 9442P7

Vino's Choice^t⁷³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 87| CD

18/1

Gained his second course win in a chase here last summer but bled when well-beaten on return from 6-month break last time and is hard to fancy on that evidence.

Form: P-51P45

Old Jewry¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: K Brogan⁽³⁾| T: D Bourke| OR: 84

9/2

Capitalised on a reduced mark when scoring at Carlisle in February but hasn't threatened in 3 starts since.

Form: 061P06

Durragh⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 78

4/1

Placed in bumpers but hasn't yet made a serious impact over hurdles, well held when last seen at Sedgefield in January. May have more to come back from a break, however.

Form: 234565

Summer Lightening^b²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 73| D

14/1

Disappointing this campaign and is easily passed over from out of the handicap.

Form: 0-49P85

T: J Candlish J: Sean Quinlan

Forecasts

Durragh (4/1), Jack Yeats (4/1), Old Jewry (9/2), Malangen (5/1), Les's Legacy (6/1), Bridge Road (6/1), Ben Brody (12/1), Summer Lightening (14/1), Fathers Advice (16/1), Vino's Choice (18/1)

BRIDGE ROAD showed enough in novice hurdles to suggest he'd be capable of landing a low-grade handicap and could strike if all is well (returned lame when favourite last time). Jack Yeats shaped well at Musselburgh and can pose the chief threat ahead of Durragh.
