Grace And Dotty Country Clothing Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:17 | Winning time: 5m 41.87s

Beau Quali^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr Sean P O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 117| D

7/1

Best effort over hurdles when second in 2m course maiden. Off the mark at the first time of asking over fences when successful in a 2-runner chase at Warwick last month but couldn't back that up with headgear fitted (retained) in stronger company at Aintree. Ought to do better back over hurdles.

Form: F26-215

Chaos Control^p³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 114

17/2

Both hurdle wins have come at Market Rasen and probably needed the run on return to that track last time, just his second start following a 1-year absence. Below his last winning mark and no surprise to see him closer to form back up in distance.

Form: 5/4173-5

Eaton Anne²¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Lewis Saunders⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 114| D

5/4

Won back-to-back handicaps at Uttoxeter and Lingfield over the winter and took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Ffos Las on final start of last season. Forecast rain in his favour and not ruled out if this becomes a stamina test.

Bear Market^t¹⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 113WS

17/2

Unbeaten in bumpers and got back on track returned to better ground in a first-time tongue tie (retained) when winning a 17f Aintree novice on final start for Nicky Henderson in May. Scope for improvement back up in trip on handicap/stable debut but forecast rain may not be in his favour.

Form: 1/1P4-1

Libre De Choeur²⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: R Patrick| T: C Boultbee-Brooks| OR: 112

4/1

Finished third on sole start in points and has filled the same position in both runs under Rules, not improving from his hurdles bow when a well held third in a novice at Ffos Las (21.9f, heavy) in February. Still early days and could have more to offer now handicapping.

Form: 3/33-

Pergamon^t,p²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: William Shanahan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 105

16/1

Fair Flat winner who landed a hurdle debut under a penalty at Kelso (16.2f) in May. Yet to improve on that form but did shape better than the beaten distance when fifth in a 9-runner handicap at Perth (heavy) last month. Remains to be seen if he can build on that.

Form: 1145

Callin Baton Rouge⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: C J Todd| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 104| D

7/1

Capitalised on a falling mark when landing a 14-runner Uttoxeter handicap in June. Closer to form on second start following a break when fifth in a 7-runner C&D handicap last time but ideally wouldn't want too much rainfall (all wins on good or better).

Forecasts

Eaton Anne (5/4), Zenato (15/8), Golden De Coeur (10/3), Libre De Choeur (4/1), Motazzen (5/1), Beau Quali (7/1), Callin Baton Rouge (7/1), Bear Market (17/2), Chaos Control (17/2), Pergamon (16/1)

Hat-trick seeking ZENATO looks most interesting off an unchanged mark, providing he handles this different test. Ground-versatile Golden de Coeur makes plenty of appeal on his handicap hurdle debut and rates the main danger if ready to roll, while Beau Quali may do better with sights lowered back over hurdles.
