Crown Workforce Management Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:02 | Winning time: 6m 14.72s

Propelled³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Henderson| OR: 102| BF

11/1

Showed fair form on first of his 2 starts in bumpers and ran to a similar level when runner-up in a Huntingdon novice (20.7f) on hurdling debut. After 9 months off, hasn't progressed in 3 starts this season, brushed aside on handicap debut a month ago.

Form: 242-646

Dedanser^b,t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: William Maggs⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 99

16/5

Ended last term with success at Bangor. Low-key start in handicaps but down in the weights and fitted with blinkers, he's hit the frame on his last 2 starts. This isn't a strong race so he's of serious interest.

Form: 1-PP034

Getbazoutofhere^p1,t1²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: T R Gretton| OR: 94

16/1

Modest form over hurdles so far and not even at that level both starts back from an absence in 2023.

Form: 9326-74

Perfect Man⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-13| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁵⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 85| D

11/4

Losing run stetches back to 2020 but he has a very lowly mark to exploit for new connections. Market may prove useful.

Form: 057654

Gaia Vallis³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 83| D

13/2

Scored a couple of times last season but hasn't resumed in particularly good form this time round. Down in the weights but need to see more before considering her.

Form: 145-3P7

Tiny Tantrum^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Bryony Frost| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 80

11/2

Fair maiden for Lucy Wadham last term but not at his best in 5 handicaps for new yard this winter. Mark is on the slide but still need to see more.

Form: 3-55456

Richardson²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott| OR: 75

11/2

Poor handicap hurdler who didn't achieve a great deal despite finishing second in the mud at Leicester in December. Fair fifth at Huntingdon since but more needed.

Form: 0-65025

Amlovi¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: A Wintle| OR: 71

50/1

Acquitted herself well back over hurdles last season, finishing a creditable third at Warwick on her final start of the campaign. Hasn't carried much of a threat both outings this term, though. 3 lb out of the weights.

Form: 4463-P6

Sans Of Gold¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: J D Frost| OR: 71

18/1

Unplaced completed start in points and hasn't offered much over hurdles to date.

Form: 475P07

Forecasts

Perfect Man (11/4), Dedanser (16/5), Dellboy Trotter (4/1), Tiny Tantrum (11/2), Richardson (11/2), Gaia Vallis (13/2), Propelled (11/1), Lamanver Bel Ami (14/1), Getbazoutofhere (16/1), Kalpaga (16/1), Sans Of Gold (18/1), Arthalot (20/1), O'Grady's Boy (25/1), Amlovi (50/1)

DEDANSER seems to have found his level eased in the weights and, now fitted with blinkers and with this not a deep race despite the field size, this looks a good chance for him to double his career tally. Lamanver Bel Ami and Perfect Man have both moved yards since last seen and a handicapping case can be made for them, so the market may be revealing.
