One Place. Every Race. Racing TV Novices' Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

Off time: 17:00 | Winning time: 5m 11.03s

Humble Jumble⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: P W Wadge| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 105

12/1

Debut bumper winner placed for the second time in novice hurdles when third at Newcastle on qualifying run, and while he's entitled to come on for that, the handicapper hasn't taken any chances with his opening mark.

Form: 19-0373

Poet's Gale¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: S Bowen| T: A J Martin| OR: 101

9/2

Irish maiden doesn't look well treated off his inflated British mark, though still merits a check in the betting given who trains him.

Form: 8076F0

Gorvennec^p1²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander| OR: 94

66/1

Point winner did finish third in a thin Ayr novice last season, though there was little promise in his chase debut at Kelso on latest start, and he has something to prove with cheekpieces added on handicap hurdle bow.

Form: 1538-7P

Kap De Triomphe^p²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 91| BF

7/1

Irish bumper winner dictated to capitalise on a falling mark in a Plumpton handicap hurdle but could only run to a similar level when fourth of 9 on chase debut at Warwick last time.

Form: 75-8514

Star Vantage^v1,t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 85

15/2

Long-standing maiden ran well to finish fourth in a much stronger race at Musselburgh before not being seen to best effect over a longer trip at Sedgefield (27f) on latest start. First-time visor/strongly-run 2½m could suit, and he may be worth another chance.

Form: 465444

Dublinofficecallin³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 85

16/1

Stoutly-bred sort shaped with a degree of promise on qualifying run at Musselburgh (17f) last time and could improve now sent handicapping over a longer trip.

Form: 646607

Knockeranna Rose²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽³⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 81

8/1

Maiden whose best efforts have come at Carlisle, running as well as he has when third of 8 (no match for front pair) there last time.

Form: 668483

Roi Du Roume²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: M Bowen| OR: 79WS

5/6

Winning pointer showed his first form over hurdles (following a breathing operation) when third of 10 on handicap debut here (3m) on Wednesday, underlining that his yard is in much better nick of late.

Form: 147073

Forecasts

Roi Du Roume (5/6), Tyson (11/8), De Deli Counter (10/3), Poet's Gale (9/2), Kap De Triomphe (7/1), Star Vantage (15/2), Knockeranna Rose (8/1), Humble Jumble (12/1), Dublinofficecallin (16/1), Karma De Cotte (16/1), Defying Gravity (20/1), Gorvennec (66/1)

STAR VANTAGE's maiden status tempers enthusiasm but he's on a competitive mark on the pick of his form and afforded a chance equipped with a first-time visor. Handicap newcomer Dublinofficecallin rates a likely improver, whilst Market Rasen scorer De Deli Counter also commands serious respect. Roi Du Roume rounds off the shortlist.
