Cambion Electronics 'Smarter Together' Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 17:20 | Winning time: 5m 54.50s

Lighthouse Mill¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Freddie Gingell⁽⁷⁾| T: David Dennis| OR: 96

11/1

Has been thriving this spring/summer, scoring over 2¾m at Stratford in June and hitting the crossbar on his next 2 starts. Good run of form came to an abrupt halt at Worcester recently but capable of bouncing back.

Form: 21224P

Franz Klammer^h,t²⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: P A Pritchard| OR: 92| D

125/1

Fair chaser who scored 3 times over fences in 2021. However, not so good over the smaller obstacles and returned from a lengthy absence with a tame display at Stratford 20 days ago.

Form: 1112/P-5

Jack The Farmer^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: S Bowen| T: N J Hawke| OR: 91| D

4/1

Finally got off the mark with a ready success at Worcester (23f) in July and has remained in good form since. Should give another good showing.

Form: 322125

Sunshine Girl¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: R P McLernon| T: G Hanmer| OR: 88

14/1

Upped further in trip, showed improved form when getting off the mark in mares' handicap at Southwell (24.3f) in July. Subsequently left Stuart Crawford and has shaped better than the result on both starts for current yard. Not discounted.

Form: 574153

Stiletto^p,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 92| BF

18/1

Modest on the Flat (down the field at Bath recently) who has shown some aptitude for hurdling. Has some potential but stamina not a given by any means.

Form: 2-44

Eaton Lady^t⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽¹⁰⁾| T: G Brown| OR: 85| BF| CD

15/2

C&D winner in May and backed it up with a good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good) 70 days ago. Needs considering back from a break.

Form: 6P32-12

You Say Its Over¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 85

25/1

Showed more than previously upped in trip when at Cartmel in June but has failed to build on it since.

Form: F-36246

Horizon D'or^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: J E Moore| T: A West| OR: 79

1/1

Unexposed and has upped his game since joining this stable, scoring comfortably in a 6-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell recently. Up 10 lb for that but still looks leniently treated.

Form: 985-521

Deer Hunter⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Mrs D O'Neill| OR: 78

28/1

Poor maiden hurdler who was only sixth at Worcester 70 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: P-P36P6

Wot You Wearing^t⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Houlihan| T: R Stephens| OR: 77

28/1

Fair in bumpers but has performed well below that standard so far over hurdles. Upped markedly in trip for handicap debut after a break, so no surprise if he shows more.

Form: 43236-9

Mactavish²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: R Patrick| T: M Sheppard| OR: 77

20/1

Remains a maiden and has offered little this season, leaving David Thompson prior to latest outing. Plenty to prove.

Form: 2U0-0P6

Dynali^b,t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 75

66/1

Modest maiden who has shaped with limited encouragement for current stable.

Form: 4-P5454

Begoodtoyourself^p⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: C N Kellett| OR: 71

50/1

Limited hurdler/chaser who ran poorly over the smaller obstacles at Southwell last time. Hard to make a strong case for.

Form: 4-8PP43

Forecasts

Horizon D'or (1/1), Jack The Farmer (4/1), Eaton Lady (15/2), Lighthouse Mill (11/1), Sunshine Girl (14/1), Stiletto (18/1), Mactavish (20/1), You Say Its Over (25/1), Wot You Wearing (28/1), Deer Hunter (28/1), Begoodtoyourself (50/1), Dynali (66/1), Franz Klammer (125/1)

HORIZON D'OR has benefited from a move to a new yard and had plenty to spare at Fontwell earlier in the month, so he's the obvious choice to go in again. In-form pair Eaton Lady and Jack The Farmer also make appeal.
