Golf And Gallop Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:50 | Winning time: 5m 28.71s

Streamsforth Lad^t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: G Hanmer| OR: 95

11/2

Still a maiden and while he has performed with credit in 2½m Uttoxeter handicaps in his 2 starts since joining this yard, others make more appeal from a win point of view. Yard also represented by Liloo d'Ores.

Form: 6/6P-635

Top Guy⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: C J Todd| T: D Skelton| OR: 95

14/1

Point winner last December, but has so far failed to make an impact under Rules and hopes pinned on this step back up in trip sparking improvement.

Form: 1554-50

Rajjamataz^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Luke Scott⁽³⁾| T: R & J & J Insole| OR: 92

40/1

Opened account over fences in good style at Fontwell in May 2024 and runner-up next 2 starts. However, his form nosedived thereafter and hasn't been at his best in 4 runs since returning from a break/wind op in July.

Form: 5P-658P

Jack Hoola^v¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 91| BF| D

10/11

Irish point runner-up didn't look entirely straightforward last season, but was much improved when justifying strong support (in a change of headgear) at Huntingdon (19.6f, good to firm) last month. Pulled well clear with the winner when runner-up over the same C&D recently and he's a big player.

Form: 7475-12

Lady Henrietta^p1²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Elliott England⁽¹⁰⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 82

5/2

Has gradually got her act together for this yard, placed in handicaps at up to 2¾m on her last 3 starts. Remains on a workable mark and she could have a part to play if the first-time cheekpieces help eke out a bit more.

Form: P-40322

Lone Soldier⁴⁹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 80

20/1

Free-going sort produced his best effort over hurdles when third in the mud at Wetherby in March 2024. However, absent since finishing fifth in a 10-runner Market Rasen handicap chase on latest start in July of that year and he's entitled to come on for the run.

Form: 633/PP5-

Liloo D'ores^t,p³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Lily Pinchin| T: G Hanmer| OR: 76

28/1

Remains a maiden and there have been no signs of an imminent revival in 2 runs since returning from a short break in September.

Form: P-65356

Florita^t¹⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: J M Quinlan| T: S England| OR: 76

16/1

Placed in points and first piece of genuinely worthwhile form in this sphere when fifth of 12 in a C&D handicap (good) in June. Down another 2 lb and place possibilities if able to build on that.

Forecasts

Jack Hoola (10/11), Lady Henrietta (5/2), Ballyhiho (4/1), Streamsforth Lad (11/2), Tuba (12/1), Top Guy (14/1), Dreamweaver (14/1), Florita (16/1), Lone Soldier (20/1), Liloo D'ores (28/1), River Rider (33/1), Rajjamataz (40/1)

JACK HOOLA is 6 lb 'well-in' on the back of his solid second at Huntingdon recently and the 5-y-o looks the way to go. Next on the list is Ballyhiho, who has improved for the switch to front-running tactics the last twice and he looks set for another leading role, while Lady Henrietta is best of the rest.
