Bowness Bay Brewing Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

Off time: 17:07 | Winning time: 4m 26.21s

Nadim^p,t³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-13| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 99| D

11/8

Improved model switched to handicaps this summer, again equipped with cheekpieces when completing quick-fire hat-trick at Worcester (20f) in July. Been given more of a break ahead of this and respected back down in trip.

Form: 3-22111

Iolani^p³²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: William Maggs⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slack| OR: 93| D

12/1

Veteran who belatedly proves he still has something to offer when third in a C&D handicap in June. Underperformed both starts on the level subsequently but since switched yards ahead of return to hurdles and bounce back not ruled out.

Form: U925-03

Chancer Dancer^t⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 92

7/1

Irish raider who bettered previous efforts when second at Hexham (20f) in June. Shaped better than bare result at Uttoxeter next time but she does need to shrug off a lesser effort at Downpatrick on her latest outing 44 days ago.

Form: 0P-4260

Bentham^p,t²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Joe Williamson| T: Sara Ender| OR: 90| D

13/2

Thirty one runs since last win in 2020. 7/1, couldn't build on previous promise for present yard when fourth behind Ambassador in handicap at Uttoxeter (15.7f) 4 weeks ago.

Form: 87-7834

Fathers Advice²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Bruce Lynn| T: R M Smith| OR: 86

5/1

Maiden who filled runners-up spot in handicaps at Ayr/Newcastle in March (both at 2m). Subsequent efforts at Perth have been underwhelming but the handicapper has relinquished his grip a little more.

Form: 6226-45

Mr Rumbalicious^h¹⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Theo Gillard| T: James Moffatt| OR: 85| D

16/1

Showed a bit of promise in juvenile hurdles in late 2022 and has been successful twice on the level since. First run since leaving Alan King and local yard has an excellent record at this track.

Form: 525-

Torbellino²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: K Jewell| OR: 76

7/1

Fair handicapper on Flat who ran disappointingly in that sphere prior to another below par display in a mares' handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.7f) 4 weeks ago. Needs to leave that well behind to figure.

Form: 425P/8

Solway Staree²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: P W Wadge| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 74

28/1

Little show in 3 bumpers/pair of novice hurdles, well held in third at Perth (16.2f) for the latest of them 25 days ago. Goes handicapping now off a basement mark but would need to see more before becoming of interest.

Form: 8-4733

Forecasts

Nadim (11/8), Ambassador (4/1), Fathers Advice (5/1), Bentham (13/2), Chancer Dancer (7/1), Torbellino (7/1), Iolani (12/1), African Sun (12/1), Dee Day Landing (14/1), Mr Rumbalicious (16/1), Solway Staree (28/1)

A winner on his final start for Martin Keighley in July, AMBASSADOR picked up where he left off to make a winning debut for his present yard back at Uttoxeter 4 weeks ago, despite seemingly doing the bare minimum when hitting the front. Up only 2 lb for that success, he gets the nod to complete the hat-trick, with Nadim, who arrives in search of the 4-timer, rating the chief threat. Mr Rumbalicious, on debut for the Moffatt team, and Iolani are others to consider.
