Coral 'Daily Rewards Shaker' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:26 | Winning time: 5m 24.35s

Captain Butler²⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 120

1/1

Point winner who landed a Newcastle bumper on Rules debut in May 2023. Followed up on hurdles bow at Kelso following a 20-month absence during the Christmas period and not disgraced in Grade 2 there in March. Remains with potential now handicapping for new yard.

Form: 2211/15-

Both Barrels²⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: R P McLernon| T: D W Whillans| OR: 119| CD

6/1

Lightly raced last season but ended the campaign with a good win over C&D. 7 lb higher in better race now but respected all the same.

Form: 321/761-

Fox's Fancy³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 113| BF| D

18/5

Won a mares' maiden hurdle at Perth in spring 2024 before shaping up well all 3 starts in defeat in handicaps last season. Badly let down by jumping at Hexham on chase bow/return but remains of interest back in this sphere.

Form: 21/423-F

Imaginary Dragon²⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Ryan Mania| T: Paul Robson| OR: 113

12/1

Fair hurdles winner who failed to convince over fences last season (lacks size). No surprise to see him back over hurdles for new yard.

Form: 215/P2P-

Coconut Splash⁵⁴⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Kit Alexander⁽⁵⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 113

16/1

Useful chaser at his best but hard to win with and probably best watched back from an absence on belated return to hurdles for new yard.

Form: 33432/P-

Clonakilty^p,t²⁰²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 112| D

50/1

Back to form on final start for Olly Murphy when second at Bangor in April. Probably best watched on belated return to hurdling.

Form: 16/P432-

Theme Tune^p²⁰¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander| OR: 110

12/1

Landed a pair of 3m handicap hurdles in 2022/23. Lightly raced since and not at best all 3 starts last season after 14 months off.

Form: 156/956-

Langdale Lane²⁰²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 108| CD

28/1

Fair hurdler at best but was always behind after off 23 months off at Perth in April. Since sold from Stuart Crawford £6,500 in May.

Form: 47125/6-

Jakana³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: C O'Farrell| T: L Kerr| OR: 103| D

25/1

Dual winner for Fergal O'Brien last season but lost his way for that yard and yet to convince for current stable.

Form: 505-257

Follow Charlie^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R M Smith| OR: 103| CD

12/1

Gained reward for a series of good efforts when scoring at Perth in May. Needed comeback run before excuses last time. Remains vulnerable to improvers.

Form: 332-106

El Jefe^h,t²⁰²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 102

40/1

Scored 5 times in fine 2023/24 season but well below form last term and has plenty to prove on return.

Form: 1/87060-

Forecasts

Captain Butler (1/1), Lundi Noir (5/2), Fox's Fancy (18/5), Both Barrels (6/1), Follow Charlie (12/1), Theme Tune (12/1), Imaginary Dragon (12/1), Coconut Splash (16/1), Jakana (25/1), Langdale Lane (28/1), El Jefe (40/1), Clonakilty (50/1)

LUNDI NOIR acquitted himself really well in a big-field handicap when third at Chepstow on return and this unexposed 4-y-o surely has more to offer. Captain Butler looks the other potential improver in the field having lost his unbeaten record in Grade 2 company at Kelso. Fox's Fancy remains of interest back in this sphere after an inauspicious start over fences at Hexham.
