Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:55 | Winning time: 4m 43.97s

True Romance^p,t⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: J Kington| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 110

10/1

Good second at Worcester in July but not best when a remote last of 3 on Jersey last time.

Form: 40/2-323

Presenting Pete¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: J Mackie| OR: 109| BF| D

7/2

Made a very bright start for new yard, landing back-to-back Southwell handicaps in June/July. Remained in form since, including a near miss over C&D last month. Should figure again.

Form: 2-11323

Limerick Leader¹⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin| OR: 108

16/1

Off the mark in 2m Kelso novice hurdle in March but well held on Perth handicap debut over this trip in April. Still early days but betting perhaps the best guide after 5 months off.

Form: 2/97219-

Kajaki^b⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 107| C

28/1

Snapped a long losing run when cosily accounting for 10 rivals over 21f here in January. Hit the frame on next 2 outings but comfortably held back from a break at Perth last month.

Form: 4313-40

First Quest^p,t³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss Thomosina Eyston⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 107

18/1

Dual winner around 2m last autumn. Looked to be going well when stumbled and unseated after 4 out at Cartmel last month.

Form: 44-44FU

Iolani³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Henry Brooke| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 105| CD

33/1

Ran well for third of 14 at Cartmel in July but well below his best when filling the same position over C&D last time (beaten 46 lengths). Idilico the more obvious of the yard's pair.

Form: 3350-33

Just Call Me Al^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: G Boanas| OR: 105| CD

16/1

Won 3 times here (2 hurdle, 1 chase) last season. May well have needed his reappearance at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago and he's back on a winning mark. One to consider.

Form: 2143P-7

Idilico⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: C O'Farrell| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 103| BF| D

4/1

Resumed winning ways at Perth last month and good second back there last week. Likely to go well again.

Form: 53-3512

Genuflex^b1,t³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Reed| T: M F Harris| OR: 104| CWS

16/1

Fair hurdler but nowhere near his best when a remote second at Fontwell last month. Has undergone wind surgery since. Also has first-time blinkers replacing the visor he wore last time.

Form: 3P263-2

Zamond^b³⁵

5/1

Posted career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17f, good to soft) in July and creditable second at Bangor since. Has had wind surgery. Hughes on him rather than Genever Dragon.

Form: 742-212

Golden Town²⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlotte Jones⁽³⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 100| C

28/1

Veteran who has dropped a fair way in the weights without really showing enough to suggest he's likely to take advantage.

Form: 355-744

Genever Dragon^b¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Theo Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 100| C

9/1

Snapped a losing run dating back 2 years when shading a tight finish at Kelso 13 days ago. Brian Hughes was in the saddle on that occasion but he sides with Zamond this time.

Form: 33-6231

Monsieur Pom Pom^p1,t1¹⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 100

16/1

Made the frame first 3 starts over hurdles in juvenile company but beaten a long way in handicaps on his final 2 outings. Has left Adrian Keatley. Worth a market check on return for a new stable in a first-time headgear combination.

Form: 24237-

Mac Suibhne^t⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Macdonald⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 96

12/1

Made a successful start for Micky Hammond at Market Rasen in June and has shaped as if still in good form on all 3 outings since. Another who can't be discounted.

Form: F2-1434

Forecasts

In a competitive race a tentative vote goes the way of IDILICO on the back of a good run last week. Zamond, Presenting Pete and last year's winner Just Call Me Al are 3 of many others with claims.
