Par Inn Cornwall Handicap Hurdle

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: M Blake| OR: 115| CD

Smooth-traveller who added to his terrific course record when scoring cosily over 16.8f a month ago. 3 lb rise perfectly so he's probably the one to beat in hat-trick bid.

Form: 1134-11

Manor Park^t,v¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Reed| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 111| CD

Three-time C&D winner who has yet to fully find his feet for this yard but fitted with a hood, he took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 7 over C&D 10 days ago.

Form: 105-754

Winterwatch^p,t⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss Megan Bevan⁽⁷⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 111| C

Three-time winner on the Flat who finally got off the mark over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces in 10-runner handicap here over 18.5f in May. Held back by a mistake when third back in novice company at Stratford but he ought to be bang there in this.

Form: 3534-13

Cillians Charm^p1¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: C P O'Shea⁽⁷⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 105| D

Fairly useful form at best in Ireland, but after a 14-month absence, he's yet to prove that he retains this much ability for this yard. Cheekpieces replace hood.

Form: 130/009

Melton Mossy^t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 92| BF

Made a winning handicap debut over 2m at Ffos Las for Laura Horsfall in May and followed up in similarly ready fashion at Worcester on first start for Evan Williams. Didn't have chance market suggested from out of the weights here 10 days ago and he's back on his correct mark this time.

Form: 400-115

Forecasts

Clearance (6/4), Winterwatch (13/8), Melton Mossy (4/1), Manor Park (10/1), Cillians Charm (33/1)

You can set your watch by CLEARANCE over this C&D, and back from a short break up 3 lb, the hat-trick looks on the cards. Winterwatch should be a factor returned to handicap company, while better is expected of Melton Mossy back on his correct mark.
