Sun Racing Summer Jumps Championship Handicap Hurdle

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien| OR: 105

Lightly-raced 5-y-o was much improved in a change of headgear when easily landing a gamble in a novice selling hurdle at Exeter, before running at least as well in defeat behind a well-treated one in a thin handicap at Huntingdon.

Form: UP001-2

Tao Enki^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: C Gethings| T: A Ralph| OR: 105| BF

9/4

Low-mileage 6-y-o produced an improved effort in first-time cheekpieces when runner-up at Hereford last time, and with this significantly longer trip expected to suit, he's fancied to go one better.

Form: 7/5357-2

Roxboro River²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Paddy Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 103| CD

8/1

Below form since winning over C&D in July off a 1 lb higher mark but he did at least step up on his reappearance run when a creditable seventh of 15 in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last time.

Form: 4PP40-7

Lion Of The Desert^h¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 102

9/2

Front-running type came up short in his bid for a Ffos Las hat-trick when third of 5 there last time. Will need to jump better on a sharper track, though is clearly in fine heart and could get an easy lead.

Form: 3491-13

Shesonnet²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case| OR: 101

4/1

Caused something of a surprise when making a winning return/handicap debut at Warwick (21f) and while she's still unexposed over this sort of trip, there's no guarantee that things unfold as favourably here.

Form: 5852P-1

Parikarma^b³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Miss Imogen Mathias⁽⁷⁾| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 97

22/1

Well held on first Flat start for new yard at Southwell last time but should at least appreciate stepping back up in distance off a career-low hurdles mark.

Form: 144/385-

Miss Tiara^t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR: 92

10/1

Maiden has hit the frame on both starts since a second breathing operation but was reported to be coughing post-race following her latest fourth of 8 at Taunton last month.

Form: 259634-

Great D'Ange^t¹⁷¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Tom Broughton⁽³⁾| T: A Gibbons| OR: 87

50/1

Returns from 5 months off having shown no form in 3 starts for current yard.

Form: 2235PP-

Masonbrook Meadow²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Benjamin Macey⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 78

5/1

Produced her best effort to date when runner-up at Fakenham latest (might well have notched a second career win had she jumped the last better) and another bold bid is expected with her stable going well.

Form: 1544P-2

Shes All Pride³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: S Bowen| T: Deborah Cole| OR: 71

7/1

Made more impact than previously when third over C&D on handicap debut but she failed to repeat that effort from out of the weights at Ludlow and hopes probably rest on some Sean Bowen magic.

Form: 377/P38-

Forecasts

Shesonnet (7/2), Tao Enki (4/1), American Trio (9/2), Masonbrook Meadow (6/1), Lion Of The Desert (13/2), Miss Tiara (7/1), Parikarma (12/1), Shes All Pride (16/1), Roxboro River (16/1), Great D'Ange (50/1)

TAO ENKI posted an improved effort when second at Hereford and with the step up in trip likely to suit, he appeals most. Masonbrook Meadow is a likely danger for the in-form Seamus Mullins yard, while Lion Of The Desert could go well if getting into a rhythm on the front end.
