QuinnBet Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

Off time: 17:43 | Winning time: 5m 3.10s

Uhtred Ragnarson²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 105

3/1

Low-mileage 5-y-o. Better than the result when a never-nearer length third in a 6-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (2m). Weighted to go well, though the longer trip is an unknown.

Form: 313F-73

Fiskardo^t⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: M Bowen| OR: 104| BF

9/2

Won a Perth bumper on the back of a significant absence in April. Went backwards from encouraging hurdling debut when 11 lengths third at Worcester last month. Should be seen in a better light up in trip on handicap bow.

Form: 32/1-23

October Hill^p,t⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Rian Corcoran⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 103| D

4/1

Back to something like her solid Taunton maiden form when getting the best of a sprint finish at Ffos Las in May. Wasn't done with when brought down 3 out at Worcester subsequently. Has been given time to get over that and should continue to give good account for in-form yard. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 4823-1B

Tommy Cullen^p1²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Crawley| OR: 102

12/1

Got off the mark over fences at Doncaster (2m) in February 2025. Form has been patchy similar events this year. First-time cheekpieces fitted on return to hurdling and it's hard to be confident of a revival.

Form: 22/4-44P

Sonyourastar^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 99| BF

7/2

Produced his best effort under Rules (wore first-time tongue strap) when 6 lengths fourth on handicap bow at Perth (2½m, good). Didn't fully see out his race on that occasion, though it's still very early days. Probably worth another chance.

Form: 344-884

The Secret Pearl^t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 98

5/1

Scored at Market Rasen (2m) last April but her more recent form is far less encouraging, cheekpieces tried when a well-held third of 8 in handicap there (17f) 37 days ago. Back up in trip with more required.

Form: 2254-63

Papillondelumiere^p1,t⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Ellie Callwood⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Barlow| OR: 76WS

40/1

Maiden pointer has offered little in 3 maiden hurdles. Goes handicapping in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 3P3/6-7P

Mc'flo²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: A Carson| OR: 71

18/1

Headstrong sort remains a maiden and is opposable again from out of the weights.

Form: 65-8964

Forecasts

Uhtred Ragnarson (3/1), Sonyourastar (7/2), October Hill (4/1), Fiskardo (9/2), The Secret Pearl (5/1), Ashdown Forest (5/1), Tommy Cullen (12/1), Mc'flo (18/1), Papillondelumiere (40/1)

ASHDOWN FOREST showed more of his Flat ability on his debut for Dan Skelton when landing the odds here on Friday and will be hard to take on if turning out again. Sonyourastar remains open to improvement on his second handicap outing, whilst Uhtred Ragnarson arrives on the back of an encouraging effort.
