SG Fleet In Partnership With Barnardos Handicap Hurdle

3YO plus | Class 4 | 2m 5f 5y | 8 Runners | Turf

Yellow Star^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore| OR: 115

14/1

Fit from the Flat but ran no sort of race at Plumpton last month. Bit to prove after that.

Form: 4/435F-7

Marlacoo^v1,t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 114| BF

10/3

Bumper winner opened his hurdles account at Ayr in February and ran his best race in a handicap on return (following wind surgery) when second at Chepstow. Disappointed at Cheltenham next time but type to bounce back. Headgear on 1st time.

Form: 213-320

Confinentic³⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Freddie Gordon| T: C Gordon| OR: 114| D

7/1

Lightly-raced sort who arrives on a hat-trick after landing novice/handicap at Plumpton last winter. Yard in good form so can be expected to go well on return.

Form: 6411-

Lord Of All Saints^h,t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H Dickin| OR: 113| C| D

11/4

Looked progressive in handicaps last season, completing a hat-trick in good style at Sandown (19.8f, soft) in January. Scoped dirty next time and probably needed comeback at Cheltenham.

Form: 4111P-0

Kintail²⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 112| C

11/1

Became increasingly temperamental for Nicky Henderson last season, losing his way as a result. One to treat with caution starting out for new yard.

Form: 3PPU5P-

Libre De Choeur²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: R Patrick| T: C Boultbee-Brooks| OR: 111

10/1

Finished third on sole start in points and has filled the same position in 2 maiden hurdles last season. Shaped as if needing the run on handicap bow at Southwell on return.

Form: 3/33-5

Jackpot D'ainay^h³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 111| BF

5/2

Got off the mark at the third time of asking in 2m Market Rasen novice on Boxing Day. Failed to justify support after 9 months off when third at Carlisle but was left with too much to do and is well worth another chance.

Form: 2/3F13-3

Swinging London^t,p²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Andrews⁽³⁾| T: J Mackie| OR: 107

13/2

In good heart on the Flat and only just denied back over hurdles at Leicester last month, clear of rest. Can go well again.

Form: 4FF/7-72

Forecasts

Jackpot D'ainay (3/1), Marlacoo (7/2), Confinentic (4/1), Swinging London (5/1), Yellow Star (10/1), Lord Of All Saints (12/1), Kintail (12/1), Libre De Choeur (12/1)

SWINGING LONDON ran well back in this sphere when only just denied at Leicester last month and remains well treated on old form. Jackpot d'Ainay deserves credit for emerging best of those held up when third at Carlisle on return and is another to consider along with the returning Confinentic.
