Happy 1st Birthday Idris Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:50 | Winning time: 6m 5.90s

Poet's Muse²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Paddy Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: I Chanin| OR: 87| D

9/2

Point winner was well held in 3 maidens but was much improved when second of 8 in on handicap debut at Taunton (3m, good, 40/1) 28 days ago, edged out by a next-time-out winner close home. Up 2 lb but has good-value claimer in the saddle and she's considered again.

Form: 7/16402-

Hard Stare^t⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Ben Godfrey| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 86

10/3

Point bumper winner showed a bit more than previously over hurdles when third of 8 on handicap debut at Taunton (3m, good to soft) 72 days ago. Tongue strap worn there is retained.

Form: 9/30073-

Glenmuick^p²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 84

11/4

Showed much more upped to this trip (also in first-time cheekpieces) when second in a 12-runner C&D handicap 4 weeks ago. Considered again from 2 lb higher.

Form: 958792-

Crest Of Valour^t1⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 83

9/2

Glimmers of ability on debut in a bumper but yet to make an impact in 3 starts over hurdles. Longer trip should suit and he's worth a market check making handicap debut for a good yard after a break. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

Form: 6P86-

Green Asset^t³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: M Bowen| OR: 93

11/2

Given a chance by the handicapper prior to finishing second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (2¾m, good to soft) 36 days ago. Shortlist material with step up in trip likely to suit.

Form: 354352-

Good Girl Rachel^p1²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: David Noonan| T: Ben Clarke| OR: 81

16/1

Third in an Irish point in January but looks to be being brought along gradually over hurdles, ninth of 14 in novice at Chepstow (2m, good to firm) 26 days ago on her most recent outing. Bred to benefit from this much longer trip and she could do better now handicapping in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: P33789-

Blackacre³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs C Williams| OR: 79

16/1

Landed a double over fences at Newton Abbot over 3¼m in August but went off the boil in the autumn and had been joined for the lead when taking a heavy fall at Fakenham last month. Others preferred as he goes back over hurdles.

Form: 15442F-

Alderley Charlie^p,t⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: James Best| T: P Gundry| OR: 68

22/1

Little sign of ability over hurdles/fences.

Form: P/PFPP0-

Forecasts

Glenmuick (11/4), Hard Stare (10/3), Crest Of Valour (9/2), Poet's Muse (9/2), Green Asset (11/2), Good Girl Rachel (16/1), Blackacre (16/1), Alderley Charlie (22/1)

GREEN ASSET finished a long way clear of the remainder at Newton Abbot last time and can go one better with the step up in trip promising to suit. Poet's Muse and Glenmuick are also unexposed in handicaps so are viable alternatives in a decent heat.
