BOYLE Sports Daily Money Back Meetings Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:50 | Winning time: 4m 1.78s

Tintintin^t,p1⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Tom Broughton| T: F O'Brien| OR: 119| D

10/1

Pulled up on Lingfield chase debut in November and this 4-time hurdle winner quickly returns to the smaller obstacles. Has first-time cheekpieces combined with his regular tongue tie. Given a chance by the handicapper.

Form: 6740-7P

Doctors Hill^h¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Callum Pritchard| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 117| BF| D

5/2

Plenty of promise in his efforts prior to getting off the mark in an 11-runner novice hurdle at Chepstow (2m, soft) in November. Advanced his form again when third on 2m Wincanton handicap debut in December and seemingly failed to stay 20.5f here since. Retains potential back over shorter.

Form: 2-3U136

General Briar⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Freddie Gordon| T: C Gordon| OR: 116| D

11/1

Progressive son of Soldier Of Fortune who readily made all in 8-runner novice hurdle at Plumpton (2m, soft) last month. Should be more to come now moving into his first handicap.

Form: 2/26-F31

Sir Hobnob⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 114

14/1

Fair bumper winner who has shown similar form in this sphere, finishing second in 2m Leicester novice (soft) last time. His opening mark demands improvement but a lightly-raced profile provides the hope for better.

Form: 71-352

Gifted Angel¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Freddie Mitchell| T: Jack Jones| OR: 113| D

66/1

Three-time hurdle winner for Tom Dascombe in 2023. Has won twice on the Flat since joining Jack Jones and arrives fit from that sphere.

Form: 5115P9/

Almuhit^t¹¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽³⁾| T: Faye Bramley| OR: 112| BF| CD

15/2

Ended his time under the care of Gary Brown with pair of handicap hurdle wins around 2½m at the start of 2025. First run for Faye Bramley when second of 25 in 19.5f Punchestown handicap last spring. Went on to land a pair of 2m Flat handicaps here over the summer. Respected back over timber.

Form: 750112-

Leaumec De Mee⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Atkins⁽⁶⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 111

9/2

Shaped well when runner-up only start in bumpers and positive start over hurdles this winter, confirming promise of his Fontwell second when going one place better at Sedgefield (17f) 6 weeks ago. Very much the type to go on improving now handicapping.

Form: 2-21

Soldier's Leap^h,t⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Andrews| T: T Ellis| OR: 108| D

5/1

Found improvement sent handicapping last term and has kicked on again this time round, opening his account on return at Stratford before following up in a first-time hood at Uttoxeter (2m, soft). Has gone up a total of 14 lb for that brace but on the up and another bold show likely.

Form: 7223-11

Uhtred Ragnarson⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: A King| OR: 107| D

14/1

Much improved after 6 months off when readily opening his account in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (2m, good) in November. Creditable third of 6 at Market Rasen since but it underlines he needs a bit more from this mark.

Form: 632-313

Lions Peak⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Dylan Johnston| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 105

33/1

Landed a Hereford maiden last March added to a patchy overall record when pulled up on Leicester handicap debut/reappearance 6 weeks ago.

Form: 4/P315-P

Premier^h³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: William Featherstone⁽⁶⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 108| D

15/2

Fair Flat winner. Unable to justify strong support when third over 2m at Plumpton on handicap hurdle debut but made no mistake in 13-runner novice handicap at Taunton (16.5f, good) next time. Still early days in this sphere and likely has more to offer for in-form Warren Greatrex.

Form: 2431

Non-Runners

Parramount²⁶

Weight: 12-1| Age: 10

T: C E Longsdon J: Daire James McConville

Forecasts

Doctors Hill (5/2), Leaumec De Mee (9/2), Soldier's Leap (5/1), Premier (15/2), Almuhit (15/2), Parramount (8/1), Tintintin (10/1), General Briar (11/1), Sir Hobnob (14/1), Uhtred Ragnarson (14/1), Lions Peak (33/1), Gifted Angel (66/1)

An interesting finale. LEAUMEC DE MEE has the profile of a surefire improver now making a quick switch to handicaps and can strike for Dan Skelton. Premier, Soldier's Leap and General Briar are others with progressive profiles, while Almuhit could still have a workable mark in this sphere judged on the form he's achieved on the Flat since last seen over hurdles.
