Wellingborough Old Grammarians Racing Tour Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:17 | Winning time: 6m 35.97s

Cluain Aodha²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Paul O'Brien| T: N B King| OR: 99| CD

11/4

Capitalised on a reduced mark back hurdling when landing 10-runner handicap over C&D 24 days ago. Up 4 lb but he can make his presence felt again.

Form: F-34531

Mister Barclay²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jordan Nailor| T: T Symonds| OR: 97| BF

6/1

Likeable type who posted a very good second in 23f handicap hurdle at Exeter in January. Disappointed back chasing when fifth at Uttoxeter (3m) 22 days ago but he's the sort to bounce back and is handily weighted reverted to hurdles.

Form: 721-225

Musique De Fee^p1²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: G Nicholls| OR: 91

85/40

Arrives in good nick, fourth of 10 to Cluain Aodha in handicap hurdle over C&D 24 days ago. Needs considering with cheekpieces added.

Form: 41-44P4

Jassur Des Brosses²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Taylor Fisher| T: Michael Keady| OR: 83

7/1

Modest maiden hurdler who made a creditable return from 5 months off when fourth of 9 at Huntingdon (2m3f) 24 days ago. No forlorn hope stepping up in trip.

Form: 0-08404

Cherry Brave⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Ben Sutton⁽⁵⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 80

18/1

Irish point winner who failed to build on earlier promise when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft) 82 days ago. Worth another chance for top yard.

Form: 21-7P7P

Tiny Tantrum⁶⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Bannister| T: Michael Keady| OR: 78

11/1

Scored at Stratford in April, 2023, but lightly raced since and he beat only one in 2m4f Fakenham handicap hurdle in January. Others are preferred.

Form: 61/45P-7

Kalabana²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: S Allwood| OR: 76

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden who came in just sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy) 22 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 30/8-P56

Wearapinkribbon^v1⁷³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Liam Harrison| T: M Comley| OR: 72WS

15/2

On a long losing run and he came in only ninth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, soft) 73 days ago on his final run for Helen Nelmes. Visor replaces cheekpieces now.

Form: P-75569

Forecasts

Musique De Fee (85/40), Cluain Aodha (11/4), Mister Barclay (6/1), Jassur Des Brosses (7/1), Wearapinkribbon (15/2), Tiny Tantrum (11/1), Tellairsue (16/1), Cherry Brave (18/1), Kalabana (28/1)

MISTER BARCLAY wasn't at his best when fifth over fences at Uttoxeter last time out but this likeable sort can bounce back and capitalise on a lenient mark returned to the smaller obstacles. Recent C&D scorer Cluain Aodha rates the obvious threat, although in-form duo Musique de Fee and Jassur des Brosses need factoring in too.
