Richard Newland Racing Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:40 | Winning time: 4m 7.4s

Embolden²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: B Roberts⁽³⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 92

13/2

Winner of a 2m Plumpton handicap over Easter and mostly respectable efforts since. However, he finished out with the washing at Market Rasen last month and bit to prove on the back of that low-key display.

Form: 13-P350

Foxey^h⁷⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Lewis Stones| T: O Murphy| OR: 92

4/1

Showed fair form in bumpers and has matched that level over hurdles, fourth of 8 on handicap debut at Perth when last seen back in July 2021. Subsequent absence an obvious concern but one to note in the betting on debut for new yard off a potentially handy mark.

Form: 243P34/

Emanate^p⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Thomosina Eyston⁽⁸⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 85| CD

4/1

Poor maiden on the Flat and looked much the same in this sphere prior to belying odds of 100/1 in a C&D handicap (good to soft) in July. 3 lb rise tolerable but he's not an obvious type to follow-up.

Form: 4-55P1

Diana Prince²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Midgley| T: P T Midgley| OR: 81| BF

8/1

Point winner who left previous efforts under Rules behind when making a successful handicap debut at Market Rasen(18.6f, good) in August. However, this 9 lb higher mark proved beyond her over the same C&D next time.

Form: P/5-6815

Coastal Sun^h,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: William Featherstone⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 73| D

7/2

Gained breakthrough success in a novice claimer at Ludlow in November for Alastair Ralph. Best run for current stable when third of 8 at Stratford (18.5f, good to soft) last month (wasn't to best effect at Newton Abbot last time) and she's one to consider.

Form: P-84736

Onnaroll^h¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Philip Armson| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 73

11/2

Offered little first 8 starts over hurdles but looked a different proposition when, despite being 12 lb out of the handicap, finding just one too good at Fontwell (17.7f, good) recently. Able to race off correct mark here and major claims.

Form: 8-8U5P2

African Sun^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Cillin Leonard| T: Joanne Thomason-Murphy| OR: 70| D

9/1

Belied odds of 40/1 at Uttoxeter last summer but rarely threatened since and finished some way adrift of Onnaroll at Fontwell 11 days ago.

Form: 3-P8555

Forecasts

Coastal Sun (7/2), Emanate (4/1), Foxey (4/1), Graffiti (5/1), Onnaroll (11/2), Embolden (13/2), Diana Prince (8/1), African Sun (9/1), Ten Ten Twenty (10/1), Thorpeness (20/1), Mawlood (33/1)

ONNAROLL left his previous form well behind when a clear second from 12 lb out of the handicap at Fontwell and, if able to back that effort up here, he will surely go very close off his correct mark here. Coastal Sun was left with too much to do last time and, better judged on her creditable effort at Stratford in July, she is feared most. Though absent for over two years, Foxey is of interest on debut for Olly Murphy and it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting.
