ABP & Humber Freeport Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

Spot On Soph^t⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: S England| OR: 100| CD

6/4

Strong in the market and suited by the step back up in trip when scoring comfortably over C&D a week ago and makes most appeal as he bids for the follow up.

Form: 254-031

Denable²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Brendan Powell| T: A Carson| OR: 95

25/1

Potentially well treated in this sphere but followed a poor Flat run with a similarly underwhelming effort over hurdles at Worcester recently. Something to prove.

Form: 473/25-8

We Got Your Back¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 90

28/1

Winless following half-a-dozen attempts over hurdles and hasn't taken to chasing. Return to this sphere should help but he has something to prove.

Form: 8229-96

Crossbeau²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 89

5/1

9/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, good) 22 days ago. Holding form well and should be on the premises again.

Form: 3U54-24

Fenney Brook⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Katy Price| OR: 86| DWS

18/1

Form has dipped lately and, while his mark is sliding as a consequence, she's not threatening to take advantage.

Form: 01930-6

Bensini^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 83

7/1

Hurdles winner who has made a good start in this sphere, again finding only one too good at Southwell (20.4f) in October. Would have hit the frame but for unseating at Worcester over fences recently, so arrives in form.

Form: 56224-U

Chemical Warfare^t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 75

3/1

Not long with this yard and was closing in third (looked a threat) when falling at the last over fences at Worcester 20 days ago. Lower in the weights over hurdles and merits respect.

Form: 1366-4F

Lenebane^v,t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 75

22/1

Maiden hurdler who hasn't been firing lately, so others are more persuasive.

Form: 7553-99

Hope Hill⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 73

33/1

Well beaten in bumpers and yet to show much over hurdles. Worth a market check on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Spot On Soph (6/4), Chemical Warfare (3/1), Crossbeau (5/1), Fine By Her (11/2), Bensini (7/1), Fenney Brook (18/1), Lenebane (22/1), Denable (25/1), We Got Your Back (28/1), Hope Hill (33/1)

SPOT ON SOPH was better than ever when winning here a week ago and could defy a rise in a thin race. Chemical Warfare is a danger back over hurdles and Crossbeau should give another good account.
