Feldon Dunsmore Carnival Handicap Hurdle

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 131| D

Developed into a useful handicap hurdler last season and left his disappointing reappearance effort well behind following a wind op when going close at Kelso (2m, soft) in February. Couple of heavy defeats have followed but this is an easier race.

Form: 19/P260-

She's A Saint⁴⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 122| BF| D

Irish point winner who was verging on useful over hurdles in 2022/23, resuming winning ways on the back of a pair runner-up efforts in listed company at Ffos Las (15.8f). Found only one too good in good company after and though off a year, she's in top hands. Mark could be lenient

Finest View³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 115| D

Won 4 on the bounce for this yard in spring 2022 but not at the same level for Andrew Martin last year. However, her mark has dropped as a result and she made her second start back with Alan King a winning one at Stratford. 2 lb rise very fair.

Tedley^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: James Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 115

Wincanton maiden winner in February and hit the frame in a brace of handicaps this spring, latterly in cheekpieces. More needed to defy his mark, though.

Form: 42103-4

Forecasts

Finest View (6/4), She's A Saint (15/8), Tedley (4/1), Jungle Jack (6/1)

It took FINEST VIEW just 2 runs upon rejoining Alan King to resume winning ways at Stratford a month ago and a 2 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. The interesting rival is She's A Saint, who returns from over a year off but is in top hands and the assessor may have taken a chance with her opening mark.
