Unibet More Extra Places Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:45 | Winning time: 5m 22.10s

Mighty Moth²⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Bruce Lynn| T: Eloise Quayle| OR: 113| BF| D

28/1

Off the mark over fences in a weak event at Lingfield in February but proved that no fluke with a good third at Leicester next time out. Returns to hurdling on her first start since leaving Noel Williams.

Form: 8U2313-

Hay Meadow^t⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Conner McCann⁽⁷⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 113| D

3/1

Opened her hurdles account at Ayr in March and may have followed up next time if not for a final-flight unseat. Lacklustre display returning from 4 months at Perth last time, though, so bounce back is required.

Form: 451U-46

Tineggiori²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 109| C

9/1

Bumper winner here in 2023 and though seemingly not the easiest to train since, he ran about as well as he ever has over hurdles when third of 8 in a novice hurdle (11/2) at this course (16.2f, good) 27 days ago. Opening mark looks workable.

Form: 1323/5-3

Eire Street²⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 107| D

14/1

Much improved for new yard at the beginning of 2024, easily winning heavy-ground handicaps at Carlisle (17f) and Ayr (20.5f). Made the track only twice last season and without much success, so probably best watched after further 9 months off.

Form: 7112/06-

Les's Legacy^p,t³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 106| CD

33/1

Has acquitted himself well this year but was fortunate to gain a fourth C&D success in a 4-runner handicap in June, left in lead after leader blundered the last. Perhaps unsuited by conditions here last time and he can give another good account.

Form: 15-251P

Piaff Bubbles^h,t²⁶⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 105WS

11/2

Off for nearly 2 years prior to last season but proved he retains ability, making the frame on 3 of his 4 starts. Should give a decent account but probably summed up by mark after 8 months off.

Form: 23/5344-

Rioja Alta^b¹⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 105| D

8/1

Winner at Sedgefield in February and coped well with the greater emphasis on stamina when notching a second victory of the season at Cartmel (22.1f, heavy) 109 days ago. Up another 5 lb but he has to be respected.

Form: 7912-31

Tommie Gun^e/c1¹¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 101

22/1

Unlucky not to cash in on a reduced mark on stable debut here in June, a final flight blunder handing the race to Les's Legacy. Disappointing at Perth after, though, and eyecovers now go on.

Form: 4PPP-36

Monsieur Le Fuzz²⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies| OR: 101

15/2

Runner-up in an Irish point was much improved on his second handicap hurdle start when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (24.3f, heavy). Still unexposed and is shortlisted after 8 months off. Cheekpieces worn that time discarded.

Form: 294961-

Lizzie Luna⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 100| D

10/1

Hooded when opening hurdles account in Musselburgh maiden (2½m, good to soft) in February. Worryingly poor since, though, failing to revive after a wind-op at Perth last time. Hard to fancy.

Form: 241PP-0

Romeo Brown²³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-13| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 98| C| D

6/1

Placed twice in the spring and shaped as if retaining ability before a lack of fitness seemed to tell at Wetherby (24.1f, good to firm, 8/1) 23 days ago. Should come on for the run and is respected.

Form: 4923-F8

Mornington Beach³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 97

12/1

Made it third time lucky in Irish points in April and showed significantly more ability when runner-up in a 8-runner novice hurdle at this course (16.2f, soft, 80/1) 35 days ago. Opening mark has suffered as a result but she's an interesting handicap newcomer.

Form: 31-5P72

Forecasts

Hay Meadow (3/1), Piaff Bubbles (11/2), Romeo Brown (6/1), Monsieur Le Fuzz (15/2), Rioja Alta (8/1), Tineggiori (9/1), Lizzie Luna (10/1), Mornington Beach (12/1), Eire Street (14/1), Tommie Gun (22/1), Knacker Trapper (25/1), Mighty Moth (28/1), Les's Legacy (33/1)

MONSIEUR LE FUZZ is up just 3 lb for signing off last season with a victory at Ayr and Rebecca Menzies' unexposed 6-y-o gets the nod on his return. Fellow last-time-out winner Rioja Alta is most feared, whilst veteran Romeo Brown still appeals as on a handy mark and showed enough at Wetherby to suggest he could prove competitive with race fitness now under his belt.
