DragonBet The Roar Before Daily Faller Insurance 'Hands And Heels' Handicap Hurdle (Conditional/Amateurs)

Age: 6| Weight: 12-4| J: Mr Richard Upton⁽³⁾| T: S Hosie| OR: 97

Off the mark at Leicester in December and probably benefited from the return to the minimum trip when winning 12-runner at Wincanton 4 days ago. Potentially vulnerable back up in trip carrying a 7-lb penalty.

Parikarma^p²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Imogen Mathias⁽³⁾| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 100| C

11/1

Shaped as if retaining all her ability on first outing since leaving John & Rhys Flint after 15 months off when third of 6 at Hereford (21.7f, soft) recently. That was a stamina-sapping race but every chance she'll feature if over those exertions.

Form: 45/144-3

Final Entry^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Rian Corcoran| T: D Pipe| OR: 97

5/1

Made a winning start over hurdles in a juvenile at Newton Abbot in July 2024 and unsurprisingly looked rusty following 16 months on the sidelines when down the field in a Flat handicap at Southwell recently. Hard to know what to expect back hurdling but has an excellent conditional on board.

Prairie Diamond^h⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Harry Hoyles⁽⁵⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 93WS

9/2

Bounced back to his best when third of 13 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft, 11/2) in January, doing well to hang in there considering the severity of the blunder he made 4 out. Leading claims from the same mark (has had a breathing operation).

Form: 316-U43

Jetty May¹⁰⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Freddie Keighley| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 90WS

10/1

Runner-up in an Irish point but well held in bumper for Fergal O'Brien last March. Some encouragement in a Worcester novice (16f) on stable/hurdling debut in October but little to shout about on both starts the following month. Now sent handicapping back up in trip (has had a breathing operation).

Form: 28-456

Rapid Mission¹⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Oscar Palmer| T: S Hosie| OR: 88

8/1

Showed a good deal more than previously over hurdles when sixth of 15 at Chepstow in October but comfortably held both starts the following month. Makes limited appeal back from a break.

Form: 679-658

Taritino³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Henry Moore⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tickle| OR: 88| C

7/2

Four-time Flat winner and did the job well when opening hurdles account here (16.4f, good to firm) last spring. Failed to come on for recent run over C&D last month but drying conditions in his favour here and has dipped back to his last winning mark.

Form: 13-2556

Wot You Wearing^t,p¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Kayla Ruddy⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 77| D

18/1

Ended his time with Robert Stephens last season well below par and looks to have completely lost his way judged on both starts this campaign for new connections.

Form: P4P5-PP

Future Times⁵⁹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Mr Jack Stenhouse⁽³⁾| T: G F Edwards| OR: 76

20/1

Modest maiden on the Flat for Jedd O'Keeffe and failed to find the necessary improvement switched to a handicap in this sphere when last seen in July 2024. Can only be watched.

Form: 96/86-

Sawpit Sienna^t,b³²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Clara Brewitt⁽³⁾| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 73| C

12/1

11-year-old mare without a win in over 2 years, last of 5 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (16f, heavy) last month. Seemingly no better than that nowadays and hard to make a strong case for from marginally out of the weights.

Form: 23-5565

Stopherandgo^p⁵³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: James Robottom⁽³⁾| T: K Pickard| OR: 71

28/1

Out of sorts this season, including over fences the last twice.

Form: 76-08PP

Forecasts

Thankyouandplease (11/4), Jetty May (4/1), Prairie Diamond (9/2), Final Entry (5/1), Parikarma (8/1), Taritino (12/1), Wot You Wearing (14/1), Sawpit Sienna (16/1), Rapid Mission (20/1), Stopherandgo (33/1), Future Times (33/1)

A shuddering error possibly cost PRAIRIE DIAMOND victory when third over C&D in January and he gets the nod to go a couple of places better having had a breathing operation since. Thankyouandplease doubled his tally at Wincanton last week so he heads up the dangers, with Taritino and Parikarma not out of things, either.
