Blackbrook Primary Racing To School 'Hands And Heels' Handicap Hurdle (Conditionals/Amateurs)

Bagged a Stratford bumper at the beginning of last season and struck at the second attempt over hurdles at Lingfield (2m, good). Pulled up in a Kempton Grade 2 when last seen a year ago and this handicap debut represents a far more realistic assignment, while the longer trip will suit, too.

Dual winner last term and a couple of solid placed efforts this season, including over C&D. Not so good the last twice, though. Has had a wind op.

Completed a four-timer from the front (second leg on Flat) when seeing off 6 rivals at Stratford in June. Ran no sort of race after 8 months off at Huntingdon recently, though. Stamina to prove and not easy to make a case for.

Won handicap chase at Kilbeggan over this trip back from a break last summer. Mixed bag since but fresh probably the time to catch him and he's one to consider.

Three-time winner on the Flat and bubbling under in this sphere. This longer trip will suit and he's one to note.

Successful 3 times over hurdles during 2022 and sprouted wings over fences at the start of the summer, completing a hat-trick at Bangor. Back from 5 months off over much shorter trip than he usually contests and he might need it.

Player on the form of his second in 17f Exeter maiden in December but he made a rather low-key start to life in handicaps at Hereford 6 weeks ago.

From a useful family and has made a good start in handicaps, improving further to land Fontwell event in the mud 6 weeks ago eased down. More to come and leading claims up 8 lb.

Made a winning start over hurdles in a Uttoxeter maiden in June 2022 and runner-up next 2 starts. Lightly raced subsequently and disappointing the last twice 3 months apart. Tricky to fancy.

Hasn't fired so far this season but was a decisive winner of C&D handicap on his last visit to Taunton a year ago.

Represents some of the season's strongest low-grade handicap hurdle formlines courtesy of her exploits at Exeter (won twice in November). Struggled in the mud there last time but remains one to be positive about back up in trip with good conditional booked.

Fair hurdles winner over C&D but he's been out of form since a promising start over fences for this yard in September. New headgear.

Belatedly off the mark over hurdles on final start for Milton Harris at Sedgefield in October (sold for 3,500 gns). Just ticking over on the level of late and others preferred.
