Kalm Club Keep Calm & Gallop On Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 17:12 | Winning time: 5m 1.15s

Alien Storm²³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Daire James McConville⁽⁷⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 122| C

10/1

Found a career-high mark beyond him when bidding for a hat-trick in a Fontwell handicap chase last time and doesn't look obviously well treated back over hurdles.

Form: 24-2116

Goodwin²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 118| CD

4/1

Front runner made it 2 wins from 3 starts at this track when bagging a stronger handicap here last November and though arriving on the back of a couple of lesser efforts, he still needs considering in this sort of grade. Usual headgear left off.

Form: 512048

Hecouldbetheone^p²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: S Bowen| T: James Owen| OR: 115| BF| CD

9/4

Two-time C&D winner emerged from a mini slump over fences when runner-up in a selling hurdle at Stratford last time and could be in the mix if building on that with Sean Bowen back up.

Form: 322362

The Bellhop^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 115

3/1

Dual Fontwell juvenile hurdle winner was unsuited by the emphasis on speed when fourth of 10 at Ascot on latest start. Worth a go over this longer trip but does have more on his plate stepping into open company.

Form: 14134

Oakley's Way^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 105

11/4

Produced a career-best effort when close second over C&D on penultimate start but proved no match for a progressive one at Ludlow last time.

Form: 613622

Forecasts

Hecouldbetheone (9/4), Oakley's Way (11/4), The Bellhop (3/1), Notnowlinda (3/1), Goodwin (4/1), Alien Storm (10/1), Hiconic (14/1)

NOTNOWLINDA looks to be building up to something, and she gets the vote with Harry Skelton back aboard. Goodwin may prove the main danger given his record at this course.
