PricedUp Daily Racing Boosts Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

Off time: 15:13 | Winning time: 3m 34.83s

Crown Of India⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 12-0| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 97

20/1

Won a maiden hurdle at Worcester in June but disappointed in handicap runs since, well beaten at Ludlow last month. Drops in grade but hasn't shaped as though ready to capitalise.

Form: 44-17P5

Birthday Angel³^{(ex 7)}

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Rex Dingle| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 88

6/4

Had been in good heart on the Flat prior to showing much improved form to get off the mark over hurdles at Plumpton (15.9f, good) 3 days ago, winning an 8-runner handicap with something in hand. Isn't fully exposed as a hurdler and must have a good chance to follow up under a penalty.

Form: 3U5-P1

Lady Caro^t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: H Cobden| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 93| BF

5/1

Returned as good as ever when placing in back-to-back handicaps in September and was likely unsuited by more testing ground at Plumpton last time. Better expected returned to better ground with tongue tie refitted.

Form: 51P-333

St Lukes Chelsea^h²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: R Walford| OR: 91

12/1

Modest Flat maiden posted his best effort when second in a juvenile hurdle at Fontwell in December but has pulled too hard in both starts this season, latterly in a first-time hood (retained) at Fontwell. Better off in this lower grade (dropped 5 lb by the handicapper) but will need to settle.

Form: 7429-U4

Offiah's Boy³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tickle| OR: 80

10/1

Won 4 times at a low level on the Flat over the summer and was in the process of showing improved form on handicap debut over hurdles when falling 3 out at Exeter last month, still in contention at the time. That wasn't a strong race but he could have more to offer if none the worse for his tumble.

Form: 584-F

Saucats^t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Bryan Carver| T: J Tickle| OR: 79

40/1

Remains winless following 14 starts over hurdles and he offered little back in a tongue strap (retained) when pulled up at Exeter 13 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: PP-593P

Lusso Milan²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Brendan Powell| T: S Lycett| OR: 77

9/4

Still a maiden but ran well to place on both starts last month, beaten by one played later in a strongly run race when runner-up at Fakenham on final outing for David Bridgewater 22 days ago. Ought to remain competitive off the same mark for new yard.

Form: 248632

Freddie Fleetfoot³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: James Davies| T: C J Gray| OR: 73

28/1

Poor maiden who ran respectably on his final 2 outings in 2023/24 season and shaped as if retaining all his ability after 18 months off when unseating at the last on return at Stratford (held in third at the time) 33 days ago. Likely competing for minor honours again.

Form: 02024/U

Forecasts

Birthday Angel (6/4), Lusso Milan (9/4), Lady Caro (5/1), Just Aidan (6/1), Offiah's Boy (10/1), St Lukes Chelsea (12/1), Crown Of India (20/1), Freddie Fleetfoot (28/1), Saucats (40/1)

BIRTHDAY ANGEL was much improved when landing a first hurdle success at Plumpton 3 days ago and he's taken to follow up under a penalty. Offiah's Boy was in the process of enhancing his form when falling at Exeter last month and should be in the mix if none the worse, while Lady Caro should be seen to better effect returned to better ground.
