Off time: 12:15 | Winning time: 5m 22.2s

Tune The Chello^p⁷³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Fern O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 122

20/1

Multiple winner for Henry De Bromhead. Won't want for stamina back hurdling for new yard and has gone well fresh.

Form: UF-0533

Burrows Park²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Lucy Turner| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 120| CD

12/1

One-time useful hurdler (won this in 2018) who produced his best effort for a while when landing handicap at Chepstow on final start last season. No impact again over fences on return and better back in this sphere. Lots to like.

Form: PP/641-7

Breaking Waves^b¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Lily Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: H Whittington| OR: 119| D

8/1

Took advantage of a much-reduced mark at Southwell in September and has remained in form, though found little at Lingfield a fortnight ago.

Form: 5-60123

Getaweapon³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss L Keen-hawkins⁽⁷⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 116

15/2

Back with a bang when winning handicap at Bangor in October. Brushed aside before 7 lb higher mark came into play at Warwick 3 weeks later. Ran well over C&D as a novice.

Form: 322P-16

Haas Boy^t1²⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mrs Izzie Hill⁽⁷⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 115

4/1

Fair form in bumpers and made a smooth transition to hurdling when winning 2m maiden at Huntingdon in March. Ran well behind a thriving rival at Sedgefield final start last season and could be on a good mark now handicapping up in trip on return fitted with tongue tie.

Form: 42412-

Ferrobin^p,t¹²⁹

40/1

Took a similar event here last year but went backwards from that and tricky to fancy on first run for 4 months in re-fitted tongue tie (also had wind op).

Form: F/2188-6

Hasty Parisian^p⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: M F Harris| OR: 113

4/1

Sandown juvenile handicap hurdle winner who was back to form there 7 weeks ago. This longer trip should suit and he's one to note.

Form: 1U24-54

Mythical Hero^t1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Roisin Leech⁽⁷⁾| T: A West| OR: 110

80/1

Won on hurdles debut in Ireland in November 2021 but largely disappointed since, including for this yard in recent months. Tongue tie goes on.

Form: 549-F66

Ballycamus²³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Amber Jackson-Fennell⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 108| BF

11/4

Point winner who made a successful handicap hurdle debut over this trip at Hereford in March. Still very much in the mix when a bad error did for him late on at Fontwell next time and he could have more to offer this winter.

Form: 14341-3

Talkingthetalk³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Katie Powell⁽⁷⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 105

50/1

From a good family. Third in a Wexford maiden hurdle on the second of 2 outings in Ireland in the summer but made an inauspicious start for her new stable when pulled up at Hereford last month. Up in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 2-3F93P

Winds Of Fire¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 104

14/1

Won over fences at Newcastle in November 2021 but badly out of sorts at present.

Form: 7P6-679

Moon Over Germany^t²⁸⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Imogen Mathias⁽⁷⁾| T: H Dickin| OR: 102

66/1

Very useful hurdler/chaser for Henry De Bromhead at his best. Hasn't shown much under Rules for a while (won charity Flat race earlier this year) and this trip likely to stretch him.

Form: 0PPP87-

Regal Renaissance¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Alice Stevens⁽³⁾| T: H D Daly| OR: 94

9/1

Caught the eye on second run over hurdles here (2m) but failed to build on that promise making a quick switch to handicaps at Sedgefield 18 days ago, looking awkward (did lose a shoe).

Form: 4446

Fair To Dream²⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Jess Stewart⁽⁷⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 69

200/1

Has shown precious little since finishing second in a 2m novice handicap chase here in February 2021. Miles out of the handicap again on return.

Form: 20/05P6-

Forecasts

Ballycamus (11/4), Hasty Parisian (4/1), Haas Boy (4/1), Getaweapon (15/2), Breaking Waves (8/1), Regal Renaissance (9/1), Burrows Park (12/1), Winds Of Fire (14/1), Tune The Chello (20/1), Ferrobin (40/1), Talkingthetalk (50/1), Moon Over Germany (66/1), Robins Field (66/1), Mythical Hero (80/1), Fair To Dream (200/1)

BURROWS PARK has always been a better hurdler and can add to his 2018 win and give his trainer/rider a remarkable fourth victory in the last 5 runnings of this handicap for female amateurs. Haas Boy could be on a good mark for his handicap debut/return and must be respected. Tune The Chello for a new yard and Ballycamus are a couple of others to note.
