Race Carl To The Bar Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:25 | Winning time: 4m 7.66s

Sergeant Fury³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 110

1/1

Made the most of a good opportunity back in maiden company winning a 5-runner affair at Huntingdon (15.8f) prior to defying a penalty in straightforward style in novice company at Stratford (18.6f) last month. As good as ever bidding for a hat-trick but faces tougher opposition back in a handicap.

Form: 8U37-11

Gore Point^t⁶^{(ex 7)}

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 97| CD

4/5

Left previous hurdles form behind following a wind op when off the mark over hurdles at this course (16.8f, good) in June. Improved when runner-up to a next time winner at Worcester prior to making it 2-2 over a longer trip here (18.5f) 6 days ago. Carries a penalty but is going the right way.

Form: 8F0-121

Forecasts

Gore Point (4/5), Sergeant Fury (1/1), Bobby's Fortune (2/1)

BOBBY'S FORTUNE was much improved when overcoming a pace bias to land a first hurdles success at Ffos Las last month and he remains of interest from this sort of mark. He can get the better of two-time course winner Gore Point who arrives better than ever, as does hat-trick seeking Sergeant Fury, for whom this is more of a test back in handicap company.
