BetGoodwin Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap Hurdle (Div 1)

Temperamental sort but did win over hurdles and fences at Plumpton last season. Not easy to predict what mood he'll be in on his return from 6 months off.

Been in good form back over hurdles, scoring at Newton Abbot in June and runner-up on all 3 outings since. Should go well again.

Fairly useful hurdler at best who has been lightly raced since a 23f Worcester success in September 2022 but his latest fourth back at Worcester suggests he retains a good chunk of his ability.

Runner-up in C&D maiden hurdles 9 months apart. Neil Mulholland has his team in good nick and she appeals as one who can go on to better things in handicaps.

Course hurdle winner who added chase wins at Plumpton and this venue last winter. Close second back at Plumpton (again) when last seen in March. Contender if resuming in similar form back hurdling.

Made a winning handicap debut at Taunton (19f) in December 2022. Absent since but returns with her stable in form and it'll be interesting to see how she compares in the betting to stablemate Batwomen.

Fair form over hurdles in France. Largely struggled for Alexandra Dunn subsequently but she was second at this course last September. One to keep an eye in the betting having switched to the Moore yard ahead of this first outing for 11 months.

Placed in bumpers and left previous hurdling efforts behind when opening his account in a 9-runner conditional jockeys event over slightly shorter here in August. Not in quite the same form when fourth at Bangor a week later.

Little to get excited about in 5 outings in 2022/23, including 2 handicaps. Too soon to write off but a watching brief is the percentage call after a long absence unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.
