RBC Brewin Dolphin Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:25 | Winning time: 6m 14.23s

Judicial Law^p1¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 127

11/4

Returned to form when winning a Worcester handicap in May and followed up at Huntingdon 15 days later. Sound third-place finishes since and he can remain competitive with cheekpieces fitted for the first time.

Form: 45-1133

Didtheyleaveuoutto^p⁵²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 123

8/1

Useful handicapper for Nick Gifford but didn't offer much on first 3 starts over hurdles for his current yard. However, dropped in grade and with cheekpieces back on, he won for the first time over jumps since 2018 at Cartmel in July. Fair effort on heavy ground back there since.

Form: 98-9816

Ashington^p¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 121

10/3

Now 1 lb below his last winning mark and with cheekpieces retained, he shaped as though in good nick when fourth in a steadily-run race at Uttoxeter. Stronger gallop here would certainly help his cause.

Form: 3-26444

Czech Her Out⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: P W Wadge⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 117

9/2

Resumed from nearly 8 months off with 3m win at Southwell in April. Not in anything like the same form final 2 starts for Michael Scudamore but just about better than ever when landing 7-runner handicap at Perth in August, readily seeing off Dinoland. Big shout.

Form: 011-6P1

Captain Tommy^p,t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: Ian Williams| OR: 115

11/2

Capitalised on freefalling mark over fences at Bangor (3m) in May and added to tally in 5-runner contest over the larger obstacles at Worcester a fortnight ago. 5 lb higher returned to timber.

Form: P12661

Starlyte^p,t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Roisin Leech⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 99| C

13/2

Made a winning return to hurdles for current yard at Newcastle (20.3f) last November and largely creditable efforts in defeat since, albeit in easier handicap that this. 2 lb out of the weights.

Form: 55-3347

Forecasts

Judicial Law (11/4), Ashington (10/3), Czech Her Out (9/2), Captain Tommy (11/2), Starlyte (13/2), Dinoland (13/2), Burbank (7/1), Didtheyleaveuoutto (8/1)

CZECH HER OUT was better than ever when making a winning stable debut at Perth last month and this strong-travelling mare may have even more to offer. Ashington is below his last winning mark so is feared, along with Judicial Law, who has cheekpieces on for the first time.
