CRS Thank You To Our Customers Handicap Hurdle (Div 1)

Off time: 16:30 | Winning time: 5m 30.20s

The Bold Thady^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Danny Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 102

3/1

Not the most straightforward (often finds little) and was outbattled when second at Taunton last time. Has the ability to win from this mark if he applies himself.

Form: 353422

Proper Twelve^h1²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 98

13/2

Second in a point and posted an encouraging debut third on hurdles debut at Fontwell. Failed to build on that but could do more now up in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 2-35386

Whenitrainsitpours⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Reed| T: M F Harris| OR: 95

11/1

Third in a point and improved on previous efforts when fourth in a novice at Exeter 76 days ago. Likely improver now upped in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 3-4U84

Farceur De Maulne^p¹¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: R T Dunne| T: R G Hawker| OR: 94WS

9/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time when opening his account at Worcester (23f) in May. Good third off 10 lb higher mark at Ffos Las on return but rare poor effort at this course 116 days ago. Likely to bounce back after a break.

Form: 634-139

Just Go For It^t¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Houlihan| T: M Hunt| OR: 87| CD

5/1

Won her first race in 2 years courtesy of the stewards with a tongue strap refitted over C&D earlier in th month and was far from discredited at Taunton next time. Can't be ruled out.

Form: 3-33614

Libor Lad^t³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: David Dennis| OR: 85

33/1

Down the field in a couple of bumpers and just modest form at best over hurdles. Up in trip for handicap debut, so not completely discounted.

Form: 9-9060

Bellamy's Grey⁵⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-8| J: M G Nolan| T: C J Gray| OR: 80

18/1

Unreliable sort who was pulled up over fences at Ffos Las on his latest outing. Others make more appeal.

Form: 1P4-53P

Watchoutitscookie¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Tom Buckley⁽³⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 76| C

15/8

Confirmed previous encouragement when scoring at this course 18 days ago and seems likely to give another good account.

Form: 707551

Galactic Power^b¹⁴

Age: 13| Weight: 10-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H Dickin| OR: 70| D

80/1

On a long losing run and was pulled up at Taunton last time, so hard to make any sort of case for.

Form: P-02P8P

Forecasts

Watchoutitscookie (15/8), The Bold Thady (3/1), Just Go For It (5/1), Proper Twelve (13/2), Farceur De Maulne (9/1), Whenitrainsitpours (11/1), Bellamy's Grey (18/1), Libor Lad (33/1), Galactic Power (80/1)

WHENITRAINSITPOURS is a point winner who starts life in handicaps off a potentially good mark, so he's worth chancing for a shrewd stable. Proper Twelve has a similar profile and is worthy of respect, while The Bold Thady is worthy of respect on the back of a solid effort at Taunton.
