Jordan Garrett Very Late 21st Female Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle (Professionals & Amateurs)

Off time: 13:40 | Winning time: 3m 56.4s

Zamond^b¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: Abbie McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 101

7/1

Landed 2m1f handicap hurdle at Cartmel in July but had wind surgery before beating only one at Sedgefield 18 days ago. Has a bit to prove now.

Form: 42-2120

Genuflex^p,t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-13| J: Bryony Frost| T: M F Harris| OR: 100

9/1

Fair hurdler at his best but arrives well below par, undergoing breathing op before coming in only twelfth at Sedgefield (19.8f) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces replace blinkers and others are much preferred.

Form: P263-20

Man Of The Sea^p,t⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Miss Thomosina Eyston⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 99

11/1

Fairly useful Flat winner who also scored over hurdles at Les Landes in July. Good second of 5 in 2m2f handicap there last time so he needs considering.

Form: 84/41-12

Gavin^h,t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 99| D

12/1

Fit from the Flat when a creditable fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f) 29 days ago, despite pulling hard. Tongue strap back on and in the mix.

Form: 5126-F5

Ashton Court⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Harriet Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: Simon Earle| OR: 92

5/1

Remains a maiden after 27 runs but he shaped encouragingly when fifth of 7 in handicap at Huntingdon (15.8f) 4 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Weighted to have a big say.

Form: 268/P-65

Vin Rouge⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: J W Mullins| OR: 84| D

2/1

Scored readily a couple of times on the Flat this summer before gaining a first success over hurdles in 2m1f Fontwell handicap in August. Up 7 lb but he has more to offer and rates a player.

Form: 780-1

My Poem⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁷⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 74| D

10/3

Uttoxeter winner on her reappearance in June but she's well below par on her last two outings at Market Rasen and Sedgefield. She needs to become more tractable.

Form: 56-1456

Forecasts

Vin Rouge (2/1), My Poem (10/3), Ashton Court (5/1), Zamond (7/1), Genuflex (9/1), Man Of The Sea (11/1), Gavin (12/1)

VIN ROUGE arrives on an upward curve so is fancied to follow up his breakthrough Fontwell victory in this sphere at the chief expense of Ashton Court who remains winless but is weighted to go well on the back of his encouraging Huntingdon fifth. Man of The Sea and Gavin can fight it out for minor honours.
