Wise Betting At racingtv.com Handicap Hurdle

No impact in 2 Flat starts this summer but different story back hurdling at Worcester at the end of August, winning a 6-runner 23f handicap. Made mistakes and found out in a better race at Cheltenham last month. Blinkers replace visor.

Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring for the first time for this yard at Ludlow in March (on the back of a breathing op). Backward step at Uttoxeter (may have been amiss) in July and off since.

Produced a career best when winning at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) in July but not matched that form in 3 outings since. Now back on that mark, at least.

Fair bumper winner who made it 2-4 over hurdles when seeing off 4 rivals in a 21f heavy-ground Ludlow handicap in March. Shaped quite well on last month's reappearance and unexposed at this sort of trip.

Winless since 2019 and below par over fences when last seen out 10 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running back over hurdles.

Useful hurdler in 2020/21 but little positives to glean from last 2 starts over timber fitted with headgear, latterly on the back of a breathing op.

Completed a four-timer in 25f Fontwell handicap in June. Not disgraced back in trip after a break when fourth of 6 at Plumpton (20.5f) 3 weeks ago and return to 3m sure to suit.

Back from 19 months off when seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, good to soft) in October. Ran badly at Bangor 12 days ago and has a lot to prove at present returned to 3m with headgear back on.

Had been holding his form well this season before improving to win a brace of 26.5f handicaps at Newton Abbot in September. Continued in good heart since and a big player if getting a pace to aim at.

Well-bred type who showed much improved form to get off the mark at Wincanton (2m, heavy) in January. Just respectable efforts in handicaps 7 months apart but capable of better up in trip if brushing up his jumping.
