Carlisle Conditional Jockeys' Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle

4YO plus | Class 5 | 2m 3f 61y | 12 Runners | Turf

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Power| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 93

Attracted support and left previous efforts behind when fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (17/2) 32 days ago, albeit well positioned the way things panned out. That improved effort suggests he can go close at this level.

Form: 276564

Tech That^p1²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Finn Lambert| T: R T Phillips| OR: 93

8/1

Fair placed form in bumpers. Yet to get off the mark but finished fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (11/1) 23 days ago turning in his best effort of the season though no match for trio of handicap debutants. Eases slightly in grade and interesting if back to best in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 43P-684

Wind Your Neck In^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Oscar Palmer⁽³⁾| T: S England| OR: 89| BF

6/1

Modest handicap hurdler with several fourths in recent starts but hasn't won in 21 runs. Seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (5/2 fav) 15 days ago, was too free and refused to settle. Can be competitive if racing more efficiently.

Upthereforthinking^v1⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Philip Armson| T: J Coulson| OR: 88

40/1

Has struggled to show his best form for current yard, came last of 5 in selling hurdle at Leicester (25/1) 50 days ago showing nothing after 14 months off. First-time visor replaces cheekpieces but has plenty to prove.

Form: 47465-5

Knockeranna Rose²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Conor Rabbitt| T: S Corbett| OR: 88

12/1

Showed progressive form in bumpers but no impact in three hurdles starts, most recently eighth of 12 at Wetherby (66/1) 25 days ago when tailed off. Looks the type to do better back up in trip on handicap debut.

Form: 5-42668

Perfectot^t,p1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Alan Doyle| T: R Menzies| OR: 84

20/1

Modest form when third in a couple of bumpers last spring but no show over hurdles, 10th of 13 in novice hurdle at Catterick Bridge (300/1) 26 days ago, taking keen hold and weakening when mistake 2 out. First-time cheekpieces replace hood and worth a market check on handicap debut.

Form: 33-0460

Fine As Wine²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Benjamin Macey⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 84

10/1

Finished in the frame on all 4 starts in Irish points earlier in career but has shown little in three runs under Rules since November. Sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Leicester (66/1) 27 days ago, fared no better. Worth a second look in the betting on handicap debut.

Form: 243/666

Parish Star¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Joshua Thompson| T: A Nicol| OR: 80

10/11

Has won her last two handicap hurdles since joining her current yard, winning at Newcastle and followed up with the minimum of fuss at Southwell (8/11 favourite) 14 days ago, quickening clear to win readily. Up 8lbs and hood removed but has to be respected in hat-trick bid.

Form: 458-311

Do Ye Wanna²⁸²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Edward Austin| T: G Bewley| OR: 80

50/1

Well beaten in bumpers and little in the way of robust form over hurdles. Needs to improve for switch to handicaps.

Form: 00/P77-P

Junkyard Dog^t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: William Maggs| T: I Jardine| OR: 93

14/1

Has struggled since joining yard from Joseph O'Brien last August, twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (28/1) 32 days ago where upped in trip and failed to improve for first-time tongue strap (retained), never involved. Yet to progress from promise of hurdling debut.

Form: 3-450

Gold Ring⁵²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Charlie Maggs| T: N Mechie| OR: 72

40/1

Hasn't won in nearly three years and dropped away tamely when 11th of 11 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (50/1) 52 days ago on return from 10 months off. Has lost his way and is difficult to recommend.

Form: 08/P0P-0

Liloo D'ores^v1,t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Joe Anderson| T: G Hanmer| OR: 70

22/1

Winless in 23 starts and has showed no benefit from another breathing operation. Sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (18/1) 14 days ago, running poorly again. First-time visor but could only be considered if backed from falling mark.

Form: 356P66

Forecasts

Parish Star (4/5), Scairp Dubh (9/2), Wind Your Neck In (8/1), Fine As Wine (12/1), Tech That (14/1), Liloo D'ores (20/1), Perfectot (20/1), Knockeranna Rose (20/1), Do Ye Wanna (25/1), Junkyard Dog (25/1), Upthereforthinking (50/1), Gold Ring (50/1)

SCAIRP DUBH showed promise when supported at long odds to finish fourth at Newcastle and he can get off the mark on just his third start in a handicap. Parish Star has won her last two handicap hurdles since joining her current yard and could make a bold bid for the hat-trick despite an 8 lb rise. Wind Your Neck In can be more competitive if settling better, while Tech That would be interesting if first-time headgear has the desired effect.
