Rase Equine Conditional Jockeys' Selling Hurdle

Off time: 17:07 | Winning time: 4m 5.78s

Sofia's Rock^t³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Tristan Durrell⁽⁶⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 122

10/11

Dual winner this year, including in a seller by 29 lengths under this rider. Has jumped right in handicaps the last twice. Leading claims back down in class.

Form: 412-13P

Ar Mest^p⁸³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: William Shanahan⁽³⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 105| BF

7/1

Classy performer on his day but not been impressing with his finishing efforts over fences. Back down in grade/over hurdles (won on last go in seller for previous yard) on first run for 3 months.

Form: 22U2-43

Blazer's Mill^p1²⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Gearoid Harney⁽¹⁰⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 117

7/1

Has presumably not been the easiest to train but has won a bumper/2m novice hurdle after absences. No show in 2 runs over fences last season but the one to beat on these terms in first-time cheekpieces if ready to roll.

Form: 14P1/P4-

Dogon^b,t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Cillin Leonard| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 112

8/1

Temperamental sort for Paul Nicholls but made a winning start for new yard over fences at Fontwell in May. Has reverted to weak-finishing ways since but this is a drop in class back over hurdles.

Form: 332-145

Dromolought Lad⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Midgley| T: M Walford| OR: 105

4/1

Has offered a bit over hurdles in Ireland (usually in headgear) and could do better for new yard starting out from a low platform.

Form: 50P-5P3

Running Cloud^p⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Lewis Dobb⁽⁸⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 92

40/1

Five-time winner on the Flat but form over jumps amounts to little and he didn't want to know over fences here last month.

Form: 44/04P

Forecasts

Sofia's Rock (10/11), Dromolought Lad (4/1), Blazer's Mill (7/1), Ar Mest (7/1), Dogon (8/1), Running Cloud (40/1)

An absence shouldn't be an issue for BLAZER'S MILL given his 2 wins have come fresh and he could be the way to go back over hurdles on his first start for 8 months. Sofia's Rock and Dogon are the other clear players on these terms.
