Betfred Supports Jack Berry House Florida Handicap

Off time: 13:16 | Winning time: 2m 40.71s

Auld Toon Loon¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78| BF

9/4

Lightly-raced maiden who was strong in betting and duly improved plenty when collared late on handicap debut at Wetherby (10f) 11 days ago, impressing in how he went through the race. 3 lb higher now but he remains unexposed and big shout up in trip.

Form: 54-342

In The Breeze²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Ray Dawson| T: M Appleby| OR: 74| D

9/2

Winner over this sort of trip for Roger Charlton earlier in his career and whilst winless for present stable, he did run creditably when third at Windsor (10f, soft) earlier this month, forced to check and keeping on. Now operating from career-low mark if ground doesn't prove too lively for him.

Form: 257-653

Tiger Beetle^t³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: M G Rimell| OR: 74

4/1

Scored at Wolverhampton in December but he's 0-11 on turf and went backwards from his Doncaster third when well held at Newbury (10f, heavy) 5 weeks ago. Return to quicker ground needs to have positive effect now.

Thunder Ahead^p³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A King| OR: 74| D

12/1

Flat/hurdles winner who ran well on back of wind op when runner-up at Wolverhampton (14f) in December. Posted some low-key efforts back over timber since the turn of the year but did at least run respectably when fourth in handicap at Chelmsford (14f) recently.

Form: 19/92-84

(4)

C'mon Kenny³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: Ian Williams| OR: 70

3/1

Bumper winner who signed off 2021 Flat campaign by landing a Sandown handicap. However, seen only twice since, understandably shaping as if in need of run on back of 14 months off at Newbury (14f) 5 weeks ago. This ought to reveal more and booking of Buick an eye-catching one.

Form: 4641/3-0

(2)

Swift Tuttle^h,t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 70

50/1

Fairly useful maiden in a light Flat campaign for Brian Meehan but only minor promise in trio of juvenile hurdle runs for present stable and no short-term promise back on Flat/following 4 months off at Chester (12.3f) 15 days ago.

Form: 72784-8

(6)

Peripeteia³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: P A Kirby| OR: 62| D

10/1

Bagged 3 victories last year, the latest at Wolverhampton (14f) in November. Form tailed off thereafter but latest Catterick eighth was at least a step back in the right direction, fading late on. Now 2 lb below last winning mark.

Form: 417-678

Forecasts

Auld Toon Loon (9/4), C'mon Kenny (3/1), Tiger Beetle (4/1), In The Breeze (9/2), Peripeteia (10/1), Thunder Ahead (12/1), Swift Tuttle (50/1)

A number arrive with a little to prove but that can't be said for AULD TOON LOON who produced his best effort yet when runner-up on handicap debut at Wetherby 11 days ago and, with the prospect of more to come now upped further in trip, he looks a solid proposition. C'mon Kenny clearly hasn't been easy to train but market support behind him would look significant with William Buick aboard. In The Breeze is also on a workable mark.
