Vaughandale Construction 'Built To Last' Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:30 | Winning time: 3m 59.99s

Versatile²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Alex Chadwick⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 100

22/1

Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m) who shaped with encouragement when third on hurdles debut at Plumpton (2m) in April. However, went backwards from that effort when fourth at Huntingdon 3 weeks ago, having refused to race on the Flat in the interim.

Form: 3-4

Caspada⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 96

28/1

Produced his best effort to date when second of 14 in maiden hurdle (150/1) at Chepstow (2m, good to firm) 46 days ago. Opening mark looks fair on that evidence and not taken lightly.

Form: 40682-

Collanisi²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 92

13/8

Shaped well when third in a Ffos Las bumper on debut and took a step forward over hurdles when third of 8 on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m) last month, keeping on. Still unexposed and must be taken seriously.

Form: 3/9954-3

Phantom Gold^h²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Ian Power| T: J Candlish| OR: 91| D

9/2

Won sole start in point bumpers in February 2023 and followed up in a first-time hood in a Newton Abbot bumper for B. F. Brookhouse in July of that year. Has yet to get close to that form over hurdles but caught the eye on qualifying run at Ayr and type to do better now going handicapping.

Form: 11/56-4

Beaufort Breeze⁵²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 87

33/1

Irish point winner but big prices and well-beaten in 3 maiden hurdles for current yard. Switched to handicap company now and hard to recommend unless significant market support arrives.

Form: PF188P/

Global Hideaway³⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 84

100/1

Showed a bit on her debut but has been disappointing since, bleeding for a second successive start at Stratford on final outing last June. Looks best watched on first run for new stable (has left Dan Skelton) unless the betting suggests otherwise.

Form: 44/8P-

Paragon^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 88

10/1

Modest maiden on the Flat (stays 1¼m) who failed to capitalise on an easy lead in first-time cheekpieces at Market Rasen (17f) 12 days ago. Eased 2 lb.

Form: 474-64

Red Trail^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 78

16/1

Four-time winner on the Flat in Ireland. Patchy record over hurdles for present stable but is entitled to strip fitter for her recent return at Market Rasen.

Form: 0PP/36-5

Prettylady^t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 83| D

7/1

Fair maiden on Flat in France (stays 9.5f). Offered little in juvenile/maiden hurdles for new yard but proved a different proposition sent handicapping when winning 7-runner event at Stratford (2m) 23 days ago, suited by a well-run race. Could have more to offer now up and running in this sphere.

Form: 67P-1

Littletown Lad^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 77

7/2

Made the frame on second of 2 outings in bumpers for Daragh Bourke. Well held in 5 starts over hurdles for current yard, including on the back of a breathing operation over C&D latest.

Form: 4/8006-8

Brooklyn Lullaby²⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Bannister| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 72

25/1

Has looked limited in bumpers/maiden hurdles. Into handicaps now and needs to show a lot more, even from a basement mark.

Form: 76U07-

Forecasts

Collanisi (13/8), Littletown Lad (7/2), Phantom Gold (9/2), Prettylady (7/1), Paragon (10/1), Red Trail (16/1), Versatile (22/1), Brooklyn Lullaby (25/1), Caspada (28/1), Beaufort Breeze (33/1), Global Hideaway (100/1)

COLLANISI took a step forward when third on his handicap debut at Uttoxeter last month and may not need to progress much further to defy a mark in the low 90s. Phantom Gold caught the eye on his qualifying run and is an interesting handicap debut despite his age, while Prettylady and Caspada are others to consider.
