Northumberland Young Farmers Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:18 | Winning time: 4m 16.22s

Mister Moodles²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Aaron Anderson| T: R Menzies| OR: 104

13/2

Winner of a Doncaster novice in December but he arrives here on the back of a couple of low-key efforts and needs to bounce back.

Form: 4/6127-7

Byron Hill³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Joe Williamson| T: P Neville| OR: 102| D

10/3

Fairly useful stayer on the level and has shown ability over hurdles, not least when finding just one too good at Sedgefield (16.8f, good) last month. Key player on handicap debut in this sphere.

Form: 7U33/2

Kopa Kilana^t²²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Conor Rabbitt| T: M A Barnes| OR: 91| D

9/1

Bumper winner but yet to surpass modest form over hurdles and record in this sphere stands at 0-13.

Form: 503459-

Huit Reflets^v¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Tom Midgley| T: M Walford| OR: 86

15/8

Remains winless following 21 starts overall but has finished in the money all 4 starts for present yard, including over 2½m here in a first-time visor (retained) a fortnight ago. Likely to be in the thick of things once again.

Form: 663-322

Gine Sacre²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Bruce Lynn| T: Miss P Robson| OR: 81

10/1

French import who hasn't shown much spark in 2 starts since returning from a lengthy absence in January.

Form: 3943/P-6

Foxwood^p⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: G Bewley| OR: 73

11/1

Bits and pieces of reasonable form but he hasn't really progressed since switched to handicaps on his last 3 starts.

Form: 97453-7

Boyneside¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: William Maggs| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 73

8/1

Best effort to date when runner-up at Sedgefield in March but has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts.

Form: 8352-75

Scattercash⁹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Emma Smith-Chaston| T: S Cameron| OR: 73

50/1

Winning pointer who hasn't made any sort of an impact under Rules so far, pulled up on sole start for Nigel Twiston-Davies following a 10-month absence.

Form: 5PFP/8P-

Rhyme Scheme^t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: P W Wadge| T: P Winks| OR: 72

40/1

Regressive on the Flat and has continued to go the wrong way over hurdles. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 5PF/57-P

Frankies Fire⁵⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlotte Jones| T: J Walton| OR: 64| C

66/1

Multiple-point winner but little to get excited about under Rules. 6 lb out of the handicap

Form: 14P73/P-

Forecasts

Huit Reflets (15/8), Byron Hill (10/3), Mister Moodles (13/2), Boyneside (8/1), Kopa Kilana (9/1), Gine Sacre (10/1), Foxwood (11/1), Toscan Genius (20/1), Monty Nevett (20/1), Rhyme Scheme (40/1), Scattercash (50/1), Frankies Fire (66/1)

BYRON HILL lost little caste in defeat at Sedgefield last time and this represents a good opportunity for this 7-y-o to open his account in this sphere. Huit Reflets could be the one to follow him home, while Toscan Genius also enters calculations.
