FGH Security Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:21 | Winning time: 5m 31.64s

Didtheyleaveuoutto^p²³

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 120

7/1

Useful sort for Nick Gifford. Hasn't offered much over hurdles for current yard and would need to see market support to consider. Cheekpieces go back on.

Form: 4398-98

Latino Fling²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 118

5/1

Good strike rate over hurdles for this yard, winning over 2½m at Aintree and Worcester in recent months. Up to a career-high mark but can't be discounted in her current mood.

Form: 7653-11

Alqamar³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Charlotte Jones⁽³⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 117| C

5/1

Completed a four-timer over shorter in 2021 (3 wins here). Never got going in 2022 but shaped as if in better form when 3½ lengths fifth of 7 on C&D reappearance 32 days ago. Well treated if he can build on that.

Form: 6/7070-5

Moonlight Spirit^p³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Danny McMenamin| T: James Moffatt| OR: 112

12/1

Smart stayer on Flat in 2019 for Charlie Appleby and made a winning hurdles debut at Carlisle in December 2021. Little promise since, although a line can be put through latest run (jockey rode finish a circuit too soon).

Form: 1/PF9F-P

City Derby^p³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 106

3/1

Back to form with a bang for new stable when winning 21f Wetherby handicap in April. Creditable second over 7f over C&D latest. Respected again.

Form: 94515-2

Presenting Pete²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: J Mackie| OR: 104| BF

9/2

In good form in handicap hurdles for this stable last summer and looks to have returned in fine fettle again, very much in contention when falling at the last at Southwell (20.5f) 25 days ago. Player off an unchanged mark if none the worse.

Form: 3235-5F

Bells Express^t²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: James Moffatt| OR: 95

6/1

Behind Hungry Tiger on chase debut fitted with tongue tie here on Friday and work to do.

Form: 3654-95

Forecasts

City Derby (3/1), Presenting Pete (9/2), Alqamar (5/1), Latino Fling (5/1), Bells Express (6/1), Jelski (6/1), Didtheyleaveuoutto (7/1), Fabuleux Du Clos (7/1), Hungry Tiger (8/1), Moonlight Spirit (12/1)

Plenty with chances, with a narrow vote going the way of PRESENTING PETE who would have gone close but for departing late on at Southwell. City Derby was second over C&D last time and heads the dangers.
