Play With The Finest Bookmaker, Fitzdares Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:50 | Winning time: 4m 6.9s

Riggsby^t1⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 95| DWS

8/1

Fair stayer on the Flat for Julie Camacho and has made the frame in a couple of outings for new connections over hurdles this winter. Likely capable of better, now sent handicapping, and holds solid claims. Had wind operation.

Form: 43-

Let It Shine¹⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Liam Harrison| T: M Scudamore| OR: 92WS

10/1

Poor in bumpers and just similar form over hurdles thus far. Improvement required on handicap debut. Had wind operation.

Form: 8/8679-

Nadim^t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: H Cobden| T: M F Harris| OR: 88

5/6

Found improvement when second of 7 on handicap hurdle debut at Stratford (16.3f, good) 9 days ago, running on. 3 lb higher now but may have more to offer yet.

Form: 753-2

Ez Tiger^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Bryan Carver| T: A M Hales| OR: 82

11/4

Bounced back to form when second of 8 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 28 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Remains feasibly treated and ought to go well again.

Form: 73866-2

Tonto Foley^t1⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 74

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden who ran his best race when fourth on Newcastle handicap debut (16.9f) in February. Failed to repeat that effort in testing conditions at Uttoxeter since but can't be ruled out here. Tongue strap on first time.

Form: F/9P048-

Onnaroll^h¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 59

40/1

Looks very limited and he's a long way out of the weights. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 0P58-8U

Forecasts

Nadim (5/6), Ez Tiger (11/4), George Mallory (13/2), Jack's A Legend (7/1), Riggsby (8/1), Tonto Foley (10/1), Let It Shine (10/1), Bad Attitude (10/1), Onnaroll (40/1)

Preference is for NADIM, who was clear of the rest when runner-up on handicap debut at Stratford earlier this month and remains low mileage. Riggsby and Ez Tiger rate the principal dangers.
