Racing TV Profits Returned To Racing Amateur Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 13:46 | Winning time: 4m 26.56s

Herecomeshogan^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Harry Atkins⁽⁷⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 102| D

10/1

Off the mark in this sphere in a Newton Abbot maiden in August but failed to repeat that effort in handicap company since and makes limited appeal.

Form: 3-P8F14

Caspers Court^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr Joshua Newman| T: K Woollacott| OR: 99| CD

9/4

Snapped a losing run when narrowly prevailing at Fontwell (21.8f) in June and ran as least as well when third in Newton Abbot handicap (21.6f, good to soft) since. Solid contender.

Form: 062-313

Ranco^t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr Finn Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 96

6/1

Out of sorts for David Pipe to end 2021 but capitalised on a falling mark for new yard at Newton Abbot (16.8f) in July. Largely acquitted himself well in defeat since and should give another good account here.

Form: 09-1434

Port Jack⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss C Morris⁽⁷⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 96

40/1

Just minor promise in 4 maiden hurdles for Philip Fenton last year and offered little on debut for new yard at Worcester in July.

Form: RU-1U49

Gerard Mentor^t,v¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss L Keen-hawkins⁽⁷⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 96

9/2

Scored for second time this season when taking 11-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (16f, good) 12 days ago. 6 lb higher now but must enter calculations.

Form: 3-17841

Chinook²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Miss Katie Powell⁽⁷⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 94

33/1

Still looking for first success and below form on final start for Declan Queally at Listowel last month. Likely best watched on first start for new connections here.

Form: 608738

Baliyad^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr F Philipson-Stow⁽⁷⁾| T: M Sheppard| OR: 86| D

33/1

Won selling event on return but not been in same form either start since and percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 085-106

Rainbow Storm^p1³⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Lewis Saunders⁽⁷⁾| T: O Sherwood| OR: 85

18/1

Yet to score in 6 attempts over hurdles and not seen since below-par third of 5 in Taunton handicap 11 months ago. Cheekpieces applied for first time.

Form: 879UP/3-

Yaazaain²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Molly Legg⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 80| BF

13/2

Opened account under Rules when scoring over fences at Huntingdon in May and only narrowly failed to add to that when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good to soft, 4/1) 22 days ago. Leading player.

Form: 194022

Mi Laddo^t,v²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr James King| T: M F Harris| OR: 77

9/2

Below par in recent starts but handicapper has cut him some slack and warrants respect with good amateur booked. Visor back on.

Form: 37-4644

Forecasts

Caspers Court (9/4), Gerard Mentor (9/2), Mi Laddo (9/2), Ranco (6/1), Yaazaain (13/2), Herecomeshogan (10/1), Rainbow Storm (18/1), Baliyad (33/1), Chinook (33/1), Port Jack (40/1)

YAAZAAIN posted his best effort for some time when just pipped at Newton Abbot last month and remains fairly treated. He gets the nod. Mi Laddo and Gerard Mentor should also go well.
