3A's Leisure Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:45 | Winning time: 6m 25.39s

Moodofthemoment^p1⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 105| D

9/1

Showed a fair bit in novice/maidens but bombed out on handicap debut at Warwick (26f) in March. Headgear now reached for.

Form: P1/745P-

Star Flyer³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Dylan Kitts⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 102

10/1

Reached the frame in both bumpers and ran to a fair level on second start over hurdles (following wind op) when third at Newcastle (20.3f) in January. However, not matched that form since, including on handicap bow at Fontwell latest.

Form: 3/48334-

Hungry Hill^p1⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 101

13/8

Promising sort who posted his best effort over timber when second of 12 in C&D handicap (good to soft) 65 days ago. Cheekpieces now added and likely has more to offer yet.

Form: 4/8602-

Concrete King^p⁴⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 98| D

7/2

Still looking for first success but posted best effort for some time when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle over C&D (heavy) 48 days ago. Claims if building on that.

Form: 2F/7464-

Back Yourself^p⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Alan Johns| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 92

8/1

Left yard debut effort behind when second of 13 in novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft, 22/1) 57 days ago. Upped in trip for handicap debut and remains open to improvement.

Form: 9703/32-

Mumbles³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 87

15/2

Well behind in novice hurdle (50/1) at this course last month but had shown some ability in 2 starts previously and is worth monitoring in the market on handicap bow.

Form: 455-

Karavomylos¹²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 86

8/1

Ran encouragingly on debut in autumn but rather gone backwards since. However, bred for stamina and could be a different proposition now upped in trip for handicap bow, albeit 4 lb out of the weights.

Form: 456-

Champs Hill^t1⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 72

66/1

Little impact in bumper/6 outings over hurdles and remains hard to recommend. 7 lb out of the weights. Tongue strap on first time.

Form: 086/P8P-

Forecasts

Hungry Hill (13/8), Concrete King (7/2), Sadie Hill (4/1), Mumbles (15/2), Back Yourself (8/1), Karavomylos (8/1), Moodofthemoment (9/1), Star Flyer (10/1), Groom De Cotte (10/1), Tout Paris (50/1), Champs Hill (66/1)

HUNGRY HILL left the impression there's more to come when runner-up on handicap debut over C&D last time and is taken to score. Back Yourself and Sadie Hill can also make their presence felt.
