Racing TV Profits Returned To Racing Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:10 | Winning time: 7m 25.55s

Guernesey²²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 111

33/1

Generally consistent when trained by Philip Hobbs but disappointing in three outings for Joe Tizzard earlier this year. Has now joined another new stable and goes up in trip after 7 months off.

Form: 403627-

Had To Be Hugo^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies| OR: 109

11/2

Runner-up sole outing in points and made the frame on each of his 4 starts over hurdles. Fitted with cheekpieces and solid start to chasing at this course recently and can't be ruled out returning to the smaller obstacles.

Form: 32422-3

Jem In Em^t³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Conner McCann⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 108| CD

15/8

Bumper winner who confirmed previous encouragement in this sphere when scoring over C&D a month ago. More to come and worth a chance to go in again.

Form: 2376-31

Cosmic Outlaw^v1¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: P W Wadge⁽³⁾| T: R Dobbin| OR: 106| CD

10/1

Didn't kick on after winning over C&D on return last season and turned in a lacklustre display returning from 6 months off here 18 days ago. Needs a visor to perk him up.

Form: 14PF-56

Nights In Venice³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: D W Whillans| OR: 104

6/1

Fair maiden handicap hurdler who shaped as if better for the run over C&D last month. On a fair mark and Brian Hughes takes over, so not discounted.

Form: 46322-7

Niceandeasy^p,t1³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Bruce Lynn⁽³⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 103| D

12/1

Dual-winning chaser in the first half of 2022 but jumping errors consistently proved an issue. Shaped as if better for run back over hurdles over C&D last time and tongue tie now applied.

Form: 5FP4P-6

Haveyougotmymoney^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Craig Nichol| T: Paul Robson| OR: 102

11/4

Gained reward for several good efforts in defeat when landing 11-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) in October and has remained in top form since. Should be thereabouts once again.

Forecasts

Jem In Em (15/8), Haveyougotmymoney (11/4), Had To Be Hugo (11/2), Nights In Venice (6/1), Cosmic Outlaw (10/1), Niceandeasy (12/1), Rowdy Rustler (12/1), Guernesey (33/1)

JEM IN EM boasts a progressive profile over hurdles and responded well to get the better of Haveyougotmymoney over C&D last time, so he's likely to follow up at the likely expense of the same rival. Had To Be Hugo warrants a mention, too.
