Tiptop Portable Event Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:41 | Winning time: 4m 42.22s

Thorgath^t1⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Cameron Iles⁽⁵⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 98| BF

4/1

Upped to 2½m, showed much improved form when finding only a fellow handicap debutant too strong at Uttoxeter in January. Agan shaped encouragingly when fourth of 12 over this C&D next time and he's a major player with tongue strap added.

Form: 3-68024

Shan't Wait^p1³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Daire James McConville⁽⁷⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 96| BF

10/1

Improved on the back of a breathing operation when runner-up at Southwell (2m) in December and creditable third at Market Rasen the following month. Disappointed over 2½m at Sedgefield last time, but he should be suited by this far and cheekpieces now applied.

Form: 75-9233

Hillwalk⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 95

6/5

Promise in bumpers and offered something to work on when third of 6 in a Plumpton maiden on hurdling debut in December. Hasn't matched that form in 2 novices since, but he's one to note as he goes handicapping, especially if the market vibes are strong.

Form: F/23-347

Bushstreet Bowman⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Brendan Powell| T: B Pauling| OR: 95

50/1

Down the field in a bumper and both completed starts in novice hurdles, before struggling under more testing conditions when pulled up on handicap debut at Huntingdon in February. Has work to do back up in trip.

Form: 8F07P

Inion Tiogair^b¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 92| CD

9/2

Gained her breakthrough hurdling success over C&D in February. Not disgraced at Ffos Las next outing, before resuming winning ways returned to this grade here 16 days ago. Suited by the emphasis on speed last time and could get a similar set-up again.

Form: 542131

Sophie Power^p1⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: James Best| T: H Dickin| OR: 91WS

33/1

Stepped forward from this season's reappearance run when opening hurdles account in a Leicester handicap in November. Hasn't kicked on in 3 starts since, but she's dropped in the weights as a result. Has had a breathing operation and cheekpieces are now fitted.

Form: 9-0158P

Peace In The Park¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Atkins⁽⁷⁾| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 91

33/1

Left previous form over hurdles well behind sent handicapping when runner-up at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) in February. However, he failed to repeat that effort faced with less testing conditions when well held at Stratford 2 weeks ago.

Form: 3-00627

Triple Haych¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 87

80/1

Finished second in a small-field point but little promise in novice/maiden hurdles at Hereford on first 3 starts under Rules. Was mid-division when falling at the seventh on handicap debut at Ludlow 12 days ago.

Form: 2P900F

Rapid Mission^p1¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: S Hosie| OR: 82

10/1

Showed a good deal more than previously over hurdles when sixth of 15 in novice at this course (2m) in October. Hasn't gone on from that effort in handicaps since, even if 3m might not have suited at Wetherby 15 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for.

Form: 9-65857

Saint Vic³⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Harriet Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: A Day| OR: 76

20/1

Finished much closer than previously when 1¼ lengths third of 8 in handicap at Southwell in November 2024. However, failed to repeat that performance at Huntingdon 5 months later and has been absent again since.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Chad Bament⁽⁷⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 71

Forecasts

Hillwalk (6/5), Thorgath (4/1), Inion Tiogair (9/2), Rapid Mission (10/1), Shan't Wait (10/1), D'gesteevo (11/1), Saint Vic (20/1), Peace In The Park (33/1), Sophie Power (33/1), Golly Gosh (33/1), Raindance Queen (40/1), Bushstreet Bowman (50/1), Triple Haych (80/1), Ifan Full Pelt (150/1)

THORGATH has proved a different proposition sent handicapping on his last 2 starts and he could be ready to get off the mark with his yard amongst the winners. Inion Tiogair has won over C&D on 2 of her last 3 outings and is respected, while Hillwalk remains capable of better on his handicap debut.
