Achieving Potential Tom Halliday Memorial Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:17 | Winning time: 5m 34.98s

Final Edgar^v1²²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Midgley| T: M Walford| OR: 98

12/1

On a losing run but he wasn't disgraced when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Considered back up in distance in a change of headgear.

Form: 6536-44

Jumping Jupiter⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlie Price| T: M Walford| OR: 98

11/2

In good nick until pulled up in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good to soft) 55 days ago. This fair winner is the sort to bounce back.

Form: 16044-P

Lone Star^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Joe Williamson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 96| CD

6/1

C&D winner in June and backed it up with a very good clear second of 8 in handicap hurdle back here 16 days ago. Merits serious consideration despite taking a 5 lb weights rise.

Form: P7-4P12

Royal Rhythm^b³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Benjamin Macey⁽⁶⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 94

18/1

Found only one too good from a reduced mark in 2m4f handicap at Wetherby in February. However, has disappointed on all 3 completed starts since.

Form: 4276-F4

Clear Storm^p,t1³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Harriet Tucker⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 91

11/2

A fair Flat winner for Nigel Hawke and has shown similar form in this sphere for his current yard, third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good) 36 days ago. One for the shortlist stepping up in trip with tongue strap on for the 1st time.

Form: P432-23

Malangen³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Alan Doyle| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 84

10/3

It's 17 runs since his last win in 2024 but he posted a respectable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good to soft) 3 days ago when doing too much too soon. Ought to be thereabouts.

Form: 60-5435

Lord Warburton^t,v²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Joshua Thompson⁽³⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 83| C

12/1

Course winner who recorded a creditable third of 6 to Lone Star in handicap hurdle over C&D 23 days ago. Needs considering eased 1 lb.

Form: 0/61P0-3

Willy Nilly²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 72

10/1

Is 0-16 and he came in only eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good) 28 days ago. Up in trip with work to do.

Form: 32P/40-0

Jailbird^t⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: William Maggs| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 74

9/2

A modest 1m4f Flat scorer but comes here well below par over hurdles, pulled up at Bangor (19.6f, good to firm) 50 days ago on her final run for Tjade Collier. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence.

Form: P4739-P

Forecasts

Malangen (10/3), Jailbird (9/2), Clear Storm (11/2), Jumping Jupiter (11/2), Lone Star (6/1), Willy Nilly (10/1), Lord Warburton (12/1), Final Edgar (12/1), Royal Rhythm (18/1)

A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for LONE STAR who is taken to quickly resume winning ways on the back of a very good recent C&D second. Final Edgar is weighted to go well and heads the list of dangers, while Lord Warburton and Jumping Jupiter are also in the picture. Clear Storm completes the shortlist.
