Anyone Here From Bromsgrove Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:30 | Winning time: 5m 32.1s

Some Day Soon^b³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 134

18/1

Useful hurdler who won over fences last summer. Last of 6 in Uttoxeter handicap on reappearance 5 weeks ago but he likely needed the run and should strip fitter now. Certainly capable off this mark.

Form: 91343-6

Flashing Glance¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 133

9/2

Back on the scoresheet at Hereford in December and notched another win at Taunton (3m) in April. Respectable fourth of 7 at Huntingdon (25f) last month.

Form: 41661-4

Shantou Express¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 133

3/1

Second success of the spring when making the most of a good opportunity at Stratford 14 days ago, dominating in a small field. Up 6 lb in a more competitive race now but still respected in his current mood.

Form: 0313-51

Settie Hill²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Benjamin Poste| T: A Wintle| OR: 131

200/1

Dual hurdles winner for Nicky Henderson in 2018 but very lightly raced since, offering litte for new yard after 28 months off last time.

Form: 21U13/P

Steal A March^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 120

7/2

Notched a win and second in handicap hurdles last spring. Not seen again until 18 lengths second on 3m Bangor chase debut 21 days ago, although he didn't look an easy ride (hung right). Quickly back hurdling.

Form: 36P12/2

Shentri⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 118

9/4

Did well over fences last month, second at Plumpton before going one better over 3m at Uttoxeter. Runs off 2 lb lower back hurdling. Obvious claims.

Form: 3256-21

Ernesto^t,v⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Daire James McConville⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 115

10/1

Uttoxeter handicap hurdle off just 2 lb lower winner at a similar time last year. Arrives fit from the Flat and more than capable of having a say.

Forecasts

Shentri (9/4), Shantou Express (3/1), Steal A March (7/2), Flashing Glance (9/2), Forecast (8/1), Ernesto (10/1), Some Day Soon (18/1), Settie Hill (200/1)

SHENTRI is 2 lb lower than when scoring over fences at Uttoxeter last week and should make a bold bid as he's equally as effective over the smaller obstacles. Forecast will find this trip more to his liking than the extended 3¼m he ran over last time and is feared most ahead of last month's Stratford scorer Shantou Express.
