Fairplay Daily Price Boosts Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:25 | Winning time: 5m 0.76s

Hey Flint¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: James Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 95

11/1

Yet to go off shorter than triple-figure odds over hurdles and wasn't given the hardest of times at Ludlow on latest. Bred to stay well and she appeals as one who'll improve now handicapping over further.

Form: 66078

By The Grace³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr Daniel Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Henderson| OR: 91

3/1

Seen only twice since 2024 and shaped with some encouragement after an 11-month absence when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 33 days ago. Entitled to come on for that and is respected.

Form: 7P/P24-4

L'empire Vert^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 90

25/1

Improved when beating a weak field to win a novice handicap chase at Ludlow in November but has been badly let down by his jumping over fences since and broke a blood vessel last time. Tricky to fancy back hurdling.

Form: 8-91F4P

Neeps And Tatties^h¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 86

12/1

Showed more than previously over hurdles when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) 16 days ago but still looks a headstrong type, so longer trip wouldn't promise to suit.

Form: 4-5074

Glenmuick¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 86

18/1

Little show in bumpers or over hurdles so far, so this others make more appeal for all step back up in trip should suit.

Form: 809587

Conniemak⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: James Bowen| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 81

3/1

Produced her most solid piece of form when third of 13 in a mares handicap hurdle over C&D in December but failed to back that up at Warwick the following month.

Form: 78-8P37

Churchman^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Jack Hogan| T: A Ralph| OR: 77| BF

7/1

Maiden who produced his best effort of the season when third at Warwick in January and wasn't disgraced when fifth at Chepstow (19.4f, soft, 7/2) 22 days ago. Frame claims.

Form: 37-3635

Nobody Told Me^v¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: T Faulkner| OR: 75

8/1

Still a maiden in this sphere but shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) 14 days ago, weakening only after 2 out.

Form: PU-6755

Getaway Sam³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Ned Fox⁽³⁾| T: M Sheppard| OR: 74

11/1

No show over hurdles and is very hard to fancy after returning amiss last time.

Form: U0P8PP

Prairie Queen^t,p1¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: C P O'Shea⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 73

7/1

In the frame 3 times in the autumn but well held after a 12-week break at Huntingdon last time. Cheekpieces now go on.

Form: P53445

Joker Jack^t,p³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr Jack Stenhouse⁽⁷⁾| T: Claire Hitch| OR: 69

40/1

Poor maiden hurdler fared no better sent chasing at Taunton last month. Can't be fancied quickly reverted to hurdling.

Form: 3P0P-0P

Forecasts

By The Grace (3/1), Conniemak (3/1), Churchman (7/1), Prairie Queen (7/1), Nobody Told Me (8/1), Getaway Sam (11/1), Hey Flint (11/1), Neeps And Tatties (12/1), Glenmuick (18/1), L'empire Vert (25/1), Joker Jack (40/1)

This provides an opportunity for handicap newcomer HEY FLINT to get off the mark with the Twiston-Davies-trained filly very much appealing as one who'll do better now stepped up in trip, By The Grace should be sharper for her recent return at Southwell and is also considered, with Churchman taken to complete the 1-2-3.
