Molly Ollys Charity Partner Of The Year Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:30 | Winning time: 4m 24.07s

Killycarn³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: G Sheehan| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 105

1/1

Runner-up sole point start and left previous form in this sphere behind when striking on handicap bow at Catterick on New Year's Day. Firmly back on track when second in a higher grade at Musselburgh (2½m, good) last time and he's one to take very seriously.

Son Of Hypnos¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Stenhouse⁽⁷⁾| T: R Chapman| OR: 105| D

33/1

Versatile performer in Ireland for Kevin Michael Smith and bettered his uninspiring debut display for this yard when third in a 5-runner Exeter handicap (17f, good) recently. However, there wasn't enough in that effort to suggest that he'll prove equal to this task.

Form: 0656P3

Snapius^v³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr Alex Chadwick⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 102

6/1

Capitalised on his falling mark when landing a 6-runner handicap at Huntingdon (19.6f, good to soft) last month, eased final 100 yds. Remains on a competitive mark up 6 lb and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 5P7241

Ballynorth^h1³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 100

22/1

Improved when fourth of 11 in 21f novice at Wincanton in January. No great surprise that she struggled in a first-time tongue strap (discarded here) when making her handicap debut in a Newbury Grade 2 but, while this a more realistic assignment, others look stronger all the same. Hood applied.

Form: 43-3F4P

Orange Diamond⁹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: J Burke| T: T Ellis| OR: 100

7/2

Completed hat-trick of 2½m Worcester handicap wins in September and continued excellent start for this yard when cashing in on a slightly lower chase mark at Market Rasen on Boxing Day. 3m on soft ground amounted to too much of a test at Huntingdon last time and better expected now back hurdling.

Mexican Stan^t⁷⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Lee Edwards| T: A Ralph| OR: 92

20/1

Offered some encouragement in his qualifying runs but improvement has not been forthcoming switched to handicaps the last twice.

Form: 0074-P4

Midnight View⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 90

16/1

Made a low-key start in handicaps and while there were better signs at Ludlow and Windsor during the winter, it's hard to warm to this 6-y-o following a very poor performance back from a 2-month break at Taunton.

Form: 5-PP349

Pottersjetamay^t²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Crawley| OR: 86

5/1

Long-standing maiden but on a handy mark on the pick of his form and has finished in the money both starts since returning from a break, latterly finishing a clear second to an in-form rival at Stratford (2m, good to soft). Should make his presence felt here, too.

Form: 22PP32

Major Major^b,t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: James Best| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 80

100/1

Modest 3-time winner on Flat for Richard Hannon (stays 1½m) but yet to trouble the judge in this sphere and hopes now pinned on the addition of blinkers (won on the level in this headgear) working the oracle.

Form: 57579

Forecasts

Killycarn (1/1), Inion Tiogair (3/1), Orange Diamond (7/2), Pottersjetamay (5/1), Snapius (6/1), Can't Resist It (13/2), Midnight View (16/1), Bannister (16/1), Mexican Stan (20/1), Stung By Tariffs (20/1), Ballynorth (22/1), Son Of Hypnos (33/1), Major Major (100/1)

KILLYCARN put in a solid shift when runner-up in a Class 2 Musselburgh handicap last month and he will have every chance if able to build on that here. In-form mare Inion Tiogair is greatly respected, while Can't Resist It is worth a second look on his handicap bow and cases can also be made for Orange Diamond, longstanding maiden Pottersjetamay and Snapius.
