Each Way Extra At bet365 Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:36 | Winning time: 6m 6.15s

Boomslang¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: B S Hughes| T: R Menzies| OR: 108

4/1

Showed improved form on back of 3 months off when runner-up on handicap debut at Kelso (20.8f) last month and matched that level when third back in maiden company at Cartmel (22f) 15 days ago. Unexposed at this trip and big player returned to handicaps.

Form: 2936-23

Pammi²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Danny McMenamin| T: J S Goldie| OR: 102| CD

5/1

Standing dish around here (5-time C&D winner) her latest victory from 4 lb lower mark 12 months ago. Pretty low-key efforts in trio of Flat starts last month but no surprise to see an upturn back over hurdles at this venue.

Form: 762/151-

Starlyte^p,t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 101| BF

4/1

Made a winning return to hurdles for new yard at Newcastle (20.3f) in November and largely creditable efforts in defeat since, third back at that trip/track in May. Not out of things with cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 13455-3

Dalileo²⁷⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Thomas Dowson| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 100| C

20/1

Course winner (at 20f) who made frame on four of first 5 starts last year. Ended the campaign below best though and changed hands for £4,500 in October. Betting may prove a useful guide on return to action.

Form: 2435FP-

Colonel Manderson^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 97| D

40/1

Fair 3m hurdles winner for Dan Skelton but good deal to prove judged on his exploits to date for present yard, struggling a long way out when well held eleventh in 14-runner Cartmel handicap 2 weeks ago.

Form: 5P5P-U0

Mrs Paisley²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: G Elliott| OR: 94| BF

9/2

Maiden who didn't offer a great deal over hurdles last term and, for all she wasn't beaten far, produced a far from convincing display when fifth of 7 on chase bow here (20f) 24 days ago. Still, powerful yard's runners can never be underestimated.

Form: 0P90P-5

Sea Prince^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: G Sheehan| T: R M Smith| OR: 88

20/1

Unpromising in points and low-key start under Rules, failing to build on remote promise showed in pair of course events over shorter when beaten some way out at Hexham (20f) 8 days ago. Needs to leave that in his wake to figure up markedly in trip.

Form: 6785-4P

Ultra Violet^v²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: N W Alexander| OR: 80

13/2

Fairly useful on Flat in France. Not managed to get near that level over hurdles though, left behind gradually when fourth in 6-runner C&D handicap 25 days ago. More needed with the visor back on.

Form: PP245-4

Pure Surf^p³⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Alisa McClung⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 78

14/1

Hurdles winner at Sedgefield in November and back to form returned to that venue when runner-up over 19.8f in May of last year. Never involved on chase bow (reportedly struck into) at Hexham 12 months ago and absent since. Returns with yard amongst the winners at least.

Form: 4P54/26-

Istimraar^p,t²²

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Reed| T: R M Smith| OR: 77| CD

66/1

Veteran campaigner who twice ran well over fences here during 2021 for Andrew Hamilton. Not seen under Rules since July of that year but does come here for new yard on the back of a run in points, albeit last of 4 finishers latest (May 20). Others make greater appeal back over timber.

Form: 962U2-4

Lockdown Leader^b,t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 77

11/1

Maiden who boasts a distinctly patchy record but did at least confirm ability remains when second in a C&D handicap 25 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces now but no sure thing to be in same form. 5 lb out of weights.

Form: P886-P2

Forecasts

Starlyte (4/1), Boomslang (4/1), Mrs Paisley (9/2), Pammi (5/1), Ultra Violet (13/2), Lockdown Leader (11/1), Pure Surf (14/1), Sea Prince (20/1), Dalileo (20/1), Colonel Manderson (40/1), Istimraar (66/1)

BOOMSLANG has returned an improved model following a short break, likely to have finished second with a clear run when third in a Cartmel maiden 15 days ago, and he can get off the mark returned to handicap company again partnered by Brian Hughes. Pammi, who goes really well around here, is also worthy of respect, along with Starlyte.
