KLF Insurance Brokers Ltd Novices' Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 17:11 | Winning time: 6m 9.5s

Seefin³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 106

5/4

Suited by step up to 3m when improving to make a winning start in handicap company at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) last month. Raised 10 lb but could easily have more to offer for his top stable.

Form: PF-4521

Norvics Reflection^t⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case| OR: 105

11/1

Good training performance to get him back from a long absence to win in maiden company at Uttoxeter (2½m) last month. That form is nothing special and this opening mark demands more but he should be suited by 3m.

Form: 56853/1

Honey I'm Good^t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 101| D

5/1

Notched 3 chase wins between April and July. Sound effort from her lower hurdle mark when second over 26.5f at Newton Abbot last month and she's unlikely to be too far away if showing up here in similar form.

Form: 1-31142

Awesome Foursome^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 100

13/8

Improved effort to get off the mark over hurdles after a break when forging 11 lengths clear in 2½m Perth handicap on heavy ground last month. It's unlikely ground conditions will be quite so testing this time but the longer trip may help.

Form: 772-051

Forecasts

Seefin (5/4), Awesome Foursome (13/8), Honey I'm Good (5/1), The Bold Thady (5/1), Norvics Reflection (11/1)

A small field but an interesting race. SEEFIN could have more to come and gets the nod to make it 2-2 in handicaps but a case of sorts can be made for all his rivals, recent Perth scorer Awesome Foursome possibly the pick of them.
