Price Boosts On Football At Rhino.Bet Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:14 | Winning time: 3m 42.99s

Jante Law³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 118| D

40/1

Off 20 months before coming in only ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) 30 days ago. A fairly useful winner at his best but he has it to prove now.

Form: 3911U/9

Bread And Butter¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 117

66/1

Twenty nine runs since his last win in 2020 and only eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: 2-0P658

Bubble Dubi⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 115| BF| D

7/1

Let down by his jumping when third of 4 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (16f, soft, 11/10) on debut over fences 48 days ago. Quickly switches to hurdles and this fairly useful 2m scorer can't be ruled out.

Form: 54513-3

Shetland Tony²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 115| D

9/1

Drew a blank in 5 outings for Gordon Elliott but returned an improved performer for his new stable when easily taking 2m Stratford novice. Only tenth in Cheltenham handicap since but still can't be discounted.

Form: 4356-10

Planet Legend^p³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Luke Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 115| CD

16/1

C&D winner but off 7 months before below-form fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) 37 days ago. Should strip fitter now.

Form: 61F16-4

Hidden Beauty²⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien| OR: 114| BF| D

12/1

Scored at Doncaster in January and signed off with a respectable second in novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f) following month. Considered on handicap debut despite her absence.

Form: P8/C412-

Black Hawk Eagle¹¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁵⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 114

6/1

Fairly useful Flat/hurdles winner for Noel Meade who was in good form when last seen out in the summer. Merits consideration for his new yard.

Form: 150-

Allbetsoff²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 113| CD

13/2

Bagged his third win of the season in 6-runner claiming hurdle over C&D 20 days ago. This is tougher but he can't be dismissed in his current mood.

Form: 433141

Galahad Threepwood¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 113

22/1

Fairly useful winner on the Flat for Mick Channon who opened his account over hurdles in 19.4f Doncaster handicap in March. Below-form seventh on his return at Sandown though so needs to get back on track.

Form: 4U1F0-7

Parc d'Amour^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: G Sheehan| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 112

15/8

Bumper winner who is knocking on the door in this sphere, tongue tied when clear second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Big shout nudged up just 1 lb.

Form: 72-2332

Casi Crudo²⁰⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 109

16/1

Fair maiden on Flat for Charlie & Mark Johnston and off the mark over hurdles in juvenile at Market Rasen in December. Resumed with a good second in 2m Ludlow handicap so he's very much one to consider.

Form: 12453-2

Welsh Charger²⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: R T Dunne| T: A Ralph| OR: 109| D

9/1

Fairly useful hurdler who landed the odds in 2m novice at Ludlow when last seen out in March. Goes handicapping on his return and he's one for the shortlist.

Form: 6/52121-

It's A Love Thing²

Weight: 11-2| Age: 5

Forecasts

Parc d'Amour (15/8), Black Hawk Eagle (6/1), Allbetsoff (13/2), Bubble Dubi (7/1), Welsh Charger (9/1), Shetland Tony (9/1), Hidden Beauty (12/1), It's A Love Thing (12/1), Casi Crudo (16/1), Planet Legend (16/1), Galahad Threepwood (22/1), Jante Law (40/1), Bread And Butter (66/1)

PARC D'AMOUR rates the pick of these weights put up only 1 lb for his excellent Plumpton second so looks the way to go in this competitive handicap. Bubble Dubi heads the list of dangers quickly reverted to this sphere after jumping poorly on his Uttoxeter chasing debut, although the returning pair Hidden Beauty and Welsh Charger merit respect too along with Kerry Lee's new recruit Black Hawk Eagle.
