Neu-Servo Industrial Gearbox Repair Novices' Handicap Hurdle (Div 1)

Off time: 16:36 | Winning time: 4m 4.13s

Noahthirtytwored^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Lee Edwards| T: A West| OR: 100| D

11/4

Made a successful handicap debut at Southwell in April and improved again to double his tally at Stratford last time. 4 lb rise is manageable and he should continue to go the right way.

Form: P831-31

Castle Quarter⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 95

9/2

Fair Flat winner and has seemingly been brought along with handicaps in mind in a trio of novice hurdles so far. Better now expected from a workable opening mark.

Form: 46-3

Stumps Or Slips^h1,t1²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Luke Scott⁽⁷⁾| T: T H Weston| OR: 92| BF

4/1

Promising return when a close second at Uttoxeter last month, despite pulling hard, and probably found his next start coming too soon. LIkelier to be closer to form this time with hood/tongue tie applied.

Form: 3397-26

Right Destination⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 89

9/1

Unreliable sort ran benefited from a good ride when second at Wincanton on his penultimate outing but reverted to type on his next start and is best avoided on return from 7-month break,

Form: 43828-3

Jack The Farmer^b1²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽⁷⁾| T: B Lund| OR: 86

13/2

More impact when 2¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Noahthirtytwored at Stratford last time but still looks too high in the weights to land a blow here.

Form: 074P-75

White Turf^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph| OR: 82

3/1

Placed 6 times in spring/summer 2021 but disappointed at Ludlow last month after a mildly promising return. Feasibly treated on best form but has a question to answer now.

Form: 2422-58

Maykir¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: K Brogan| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 73

50/1

:Modest Flat winner who has shown little in 3 runs over hurdles.

Form: 7P8-

Bryanwood^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 65

80/1

Little form in 4 starts over hurdles and showed nothing on recent Flat outing, so looks opposable again from a stone out of the handicap.

Form: 9996-

Olympe De Gouges²

Leopolds Rock¹³

Forecasts

Leopolds Rock (5/2), Noahthirtytwored (11/4), White Turf (3/1), Stumps Or Slips (4/1), Castle Quarter (9/2), Jack The Farmer (13/2), Right Destination (9/1), Olympe De Gouges (14/1), Maykir (50/1), Bryanwood (80/1)

NOAHTHIRTYTWORED overcame trouble in running to notch his second career win at Stratford last month and Adam West's progressive gelding can follow up here. Leopolds Rock is an obvious danger on the basis of his promising hurdles reappearance, whilst it's unlikely we've seen the best of Castle Quarter or Stumps Or Slips in this sphere yet.
