CS Recycling Novices' Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 15:55 | Winning time: 4m 37.63s

Dream In The Park²³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 110| BF

8/11

Made an encouraging start in bumpers/maiden hurdles last season with the form of his runs over timber looking solid. Longer trip should suit now handicapping on return and he can go well.

Form: 22223-

Benandgone¹⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽⁷⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 107

9/2

Proving consistent over hurdles, finishing in the frame 3 times in novices, and looking to be on a fair mark when runner-up on handicap debut at Huntingdon (19.6f) when last seen in May. One to consider.

Form: 08324-2

Master Blaze^p,t²³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 107WS

6/1

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France who was disappointing for new connections over hurdles last winter. Been given a massive chance by the handicapper ahead of his return if he's found his mojo. Has had another wind op.

Form: 221696-

Reams Of Love⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 105| C

10/1

Fair performer on the Flat who opened his account over hurdles in 2m maiden here in June. Not so good since, including on handicap debut 6 weeks ago, and clearly has work to do now.

Form: 77-5136

Martalmix'jac^h²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 93

17/2

Modest maiden hurdler who has a bit to find again in this sort of company. Hood back on.

Form: 705-4P5

Forecasts

Dream In The Park (8/11), Benandgone (9/2), Master Blaze (6/1), Martalmix'jac (17/2), Reams Of Love (10/1)

The form of DREAM IN THE PARK's maiden hurdle runs at the start of the year is solid enough and he should make his mark now handicapping on his return. French-winner Master Blaze has tumbled down the weights and a big run on his comeback wouldn't be a surprise.
