Lucas Machinery Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:46 | Winning time: 4m 9.11s

Made All^t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 95

11/1

Fair performer on the Flat who recorded a fourth win in that sphere at Wolverhampton in March. Made no impact in a trio of maiden hurdles prior to that but could well take off now handicapping in this sphere.

Form: 70P-

Character Testing^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 94

13/2

Fair Flat winner who went very close to opening his hurdling account over C&D in January, edged out near finish. However, failed to repeat that effort in first-time cheekpieces at Fakenham and gave up the ghost rather tamely on his most recent Flat start.

Form: 847F23-

Klapton Boy^t1⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: N Kent| OR: 90

22/1

Has gone backwards from an encouraging start to his career, failing to come on for recent run when well held in race won by Lord of The Glance at Stratford latest. Tongue tie goes on.

Form: 236/P56-

Bouquet De Paris^h³²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 95

6/1

Lightly-raced 4-y-o showed plenty on Flat debut for Andrew Balding and shaped better than the result when fourth of 6 on handicap hurdle bow at Ffos Las in March. Too keen when failing to build on that at Hereford last time, though.

Form: 65546-

Lord Of The Glance¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryan Carver| T: A M Hales| OR: 87

11/4

Showed improved form to get off the mark in 11-runner handicap at Stratford in March, going with plenty of enthusiasm and drawing clear on the run-in. Would have gone very close from a 9 lb higher mark at Plumpton but for parting company with his rider at the last. Remains of firm interest.

Form: 08221U-

Granny B^h³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 75

12/1

Maiden who was too keen to give herself a chance of lasting out on her return from 6 months off at Hereford (2m, good) 32 days ago. Will need to settle better here.

Form: 395863-

Allibaba⁵³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Danny McMenamin| T: A Keatley| OR: 73

6/4

No wins under Rules but showed promise in bumpers earlier in his career and is potentially interesting for new yard despite lengthy absence to overcome. Watch betting.

Form: P55307/

Susiesparkle^t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: William Maggs⁽³⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 71

66/1

Dual winner on the Flat but remains with little form over hurdles, promising more than she delivered over C&D latest.

Form: P05P7P-

Macho Sun^b,t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 66

125/1

Poor maiden who was running respectably in first-time blinkers from 6 lb out of the weights when departing late in a C&D handicap last month, keeping on fifth at the time. Faces an even stiffer task from 8 lb out of the handicap this time, however.

Forecasts

Allibaba (6/4), Lord Of The Glance (11/4), Bouquet De Paris (6/1), Character Testing (13/2), Bunker Bay (8/1), Made All (11/1), Beorma (12/1), Granny B (12/1), Klapton Boy (22/1), Susiesparkle (66/1), Macho Sun (125/1)

LORD OF THE GLANCE would have gone very close to following up from Stratford but for parting company with his rider at the last at Plumpton and remains a low-level handicapper to keep firmly on the right side of. Made All added to his tally on the Flat at Wolverhampton in March and could well take off now entering handicaps in this sphere, while Allibaba is potentially interesting for a new yard despite having a lengthy absence to overcome.
