Greene King Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:07 | Winning time: 4m 8.3s

Golden Dove^h²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Dan Horsford| OR: 94

7/1

Fair winner at 12f on Flat. Lightly raced over hurdles and she shaped encouragingly when fifth of 9 in 2m Bangor handicap last month. One to consider back in this sphere.

Form: 7259-5

Basilette¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 94| D

3/1

Consistent sort who deservedly gained a maiden hurdling success in 8-runner handicap at Stratford (18.7f, good) 11 days ago. Up 4 lb but she's likely to be in the shake-up again.

Form: 428321

One Million Dreams⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: S Bowen| T: Michael Keady| OR: 94

10/3

A fair 13f scorer on Flat who signed off for Nick Littmoden with a good second at Lingfield (1m4f) last month. Still a maiden in this sphere but not dismissed on his yard/handicap hurdle debut.

Form: 393355-

Alvesta^p¹²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Cannon| T: M Crawley| OR: 93

25/1

Remains winless under both codes but cheekpieces on for the first time when a creditable fifth on the Flat at Leicester (11.8f) in June. Not discounted back in this sphere with headgear again sported.

Form: 2-443

Pottersmattyeeehaa¹⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Crawley| OR: 91

9/1

Maiden hurdler who wasn't discredited on his handicap debut when third of 4 at Southwell (15.8f, good) in June. Possibilities after a break off a 3 lb lower mark.

Form: 3-33

Noble Miss^h³²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Gambin⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 83| D

40/1

Successful on the first of 2 outings in Huntingdon bumpers for Rae Guest last autumn but she has been comfortably held in a trio of hurdle starts for her current yard, hooded at Market Rasen last time. Hard to warm to.

Form: 13-540

Ramaah²¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: S-J Davies| OR: 81

125/1

Modest 13f Flat scorer but yet to offer much since sent hurdling, pulled up on his handicap bow at Kempton (2m) in April. Lots more is required on his return.

Form: 4458P-

Lusso Milan¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Theo Gillard| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 77

15/2

Still a maiden but she took a step forward for her new stable when third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good) 11 days ago. Can make her presence felt eased 1 lb.

Form: 524863

Hello Sweety^t⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 76

5/2

Hard puller who took a step forward on the back of wind surgery when third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) 43 days ago. Not ruled out off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 856P4-3

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to board prices only - deduction 25p in the pound

Non-Runners

Keep It Cool³⁹

Weight: 11-11| Age: 5

T: James Owen J: Alex Chadwick

Forecasts

Hello Sweety (5/2), Basilette (3/1), Keep It Cool (3/1), One Million Dreams (10/3), Golden Dove (7/1), Lusso Milan (15/2), Pottersmattyeeehaa (9/1), Alvesta (25/1), Noble Miss (40/1), Ramaah (125/1)

A case can be made for lots of these but the fair ex-Irish mare KEEP IT COOL looks to be starting life with James Owen on a lenient mark so can gain a breakthrough success. Basilette got her head in front for the first time at Stratford recently and this reliable sort seems sure to be on the premises again, while Lusso Milan, Golden Dove and One Million Dreams all enter calculations too in a very open handicap.
