RacingTV Proud To Welcome Fakenham Racecourse Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:52 | Winning time: 6m 11.05s

Hunky²²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: J E Moore| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 91

15/2

Only poor form in novice hurdles and failed to improve on handicap bow over this trip 22 days ago. Needs more.

Form: 3775-5

Post No Bills^t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Callum Bewley| T: R Potter| OR: 90| BF

4/1

Dual point winner has shaped as if in need of a stouter test in a pair of handicap starts to date, again plugging on when beaten favourite at Worcester last month. Merits strong consideration now up in trip.

Form: 26757-5

Fine By Her¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Bannister| T: J S Smith| OR: 85

11/2

Creditable fifth at Market Rasen (20.6f) 16 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Runner-up from the same mark at Hereford 3 starts ago and likely to give another good account here.

Form: 59825-5

Dinah Washington^p1¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr P York⁽⁵⁾| T: P York| OR: 84

18/1

Barely better than poor on the Flat and made limited impact in novice hurdles for Fiona Kehoe. Has since won a point for this yard but looks up against it on handicap debut.

Form: 42P5-12

Lakeside Lad¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 82

9/4

Made the frame in 18-runner event at Exeter on his most recent hurdles start but showed nothing on chasing debut in the interim, jumping ponderously before unseating. Place claims now back over the smaller obstacles.

Form: 20/754-U

Tiki Fire^h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 87

18/1

Twice placed in juvenile maidens last season but has ran poorly in handicaps on her last 2 outings and doesn't appeal as an obvious one to benefit from step up in trip.

Form: 43620-8

Milanese Rose^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 72

3/1

Career best when fourth at Huntingdon 17 days ago and though the form is nothing out of the ordinary, she at least appears to be in decent heart and could make the frame again here.

Form: F97P4-4

Strategic^b,t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Danny Burton⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 63

66/1

Limited hurdler/chaser. Reminders early last time and up against it again.

Form: 8P36P-6

Forecasts

Lakeside Lad (9/4), Milanese Rose (3/1), Post No Bills (4/1), Fine By Her (11/2), Hunky (15/2), Tiki Fire (18/1), Dinah Washington (18/1), Strategic (66/1)

POST NO BILLS looks every inch a stayer and the step up in trip here should help him find the improvement necessarry to get the better of Fine By Her. Lakeside Lad is preferred to Milanese Rose for third.
