Hadwins Handicap Hurdle

4YO plus | Class 5 | 3m 1f 83y | 14 Runners | Turf

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: B S Hughes| T: James Moffatt| OR: 97| C

Veteran who won by wide margin on heavy ground at this track last July. Ran every bit as well when 2 lengths third in this year's corresponding event (good) last time, finishing with running left in a race that tested speed. Return to this trip/forecast rain could be catalysts for a big run here.

Form: 69-5453

Frisky Whiskey^t⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: B Ellison| OR: 95

6/1

Steadily progressive 5-y-o mare who was 5¾ lengths third (runner-up won since) on qualifying run here (2¾m, good). Longer trip/switch to handicap should benefit, for all her opening mark isn't overly generous.

Form: 6643

Dusky Days^v1⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Callum Bewley| T: James Moffatt| OR: 92| C

16/1

Successful in course novice handicap (17f) before being turned out quickly to finish runner-up over 2¾m here last summer. Hasn't scaled those heights this season, though, and hard to be confident that return to further/more severe headgear will spark a revival.

Form: 2-06786

Larkfield Lusive^p⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Danny McMenamin| T: L Morgan| OR: 92

16/1

Well beaten when bidding for a hat-trick on testing ground here last summer. Resumed winning ways at Southwell (3m) second time up this season, but he disappointed off this mark at Market Rasen 8 weeks ago.

Form: 176-310

Killybegs Jet Lady^t,v⁷⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 91

12/1

Irish point winner. Third in sole previous start at this track (2¾m, heavy) last season. Has proved a better chaser, getting off the mark under Rules in small-field chase at Kelso (good) prior to disappointing at Hexham in June. Possible pace angle reverted to hurdles following 11-week break.

Form: 2PB-21P

Getaway Master¹⁰⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 90

12/1

Back on same mark as when scoring with ease at Carlisle (19f, soft) last November. Promised more than he delivered when well-held fourth at Perth (2½m) on latest start in May. Does have form over staying trips and could be significant that he gets the nod from stable's good-value conditional.

Form: 27P69-4

Seeyainthesuninn⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Alice Stevens⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 88| BF| C

11/2

Capitalised on much-reduced mark when a decisive winner here (2¾m) in late-June. Went a long way to reproducing that when 2¼ lengths fourth (behind Secret Secret) subsequently. Well worth a go over this longer trip, though Joshua Thompson looks elsewhere this time.

Form: 873-P14

Masterminding⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Leah Noreci⁽⁷⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 87| BF

9/2

Fair maiden on Flat. Encouraging second behind course specialist on stable debut here (2¾m) in May. Back to form when 6½ lengths second to a classier type over the same C&D last time. Now tried over slightly longer trip by yard that does well with his type.

Form: 676-232

Robert d'Ores^p,t⁸⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 85

16/1

Hold-up type whose 3 career wins have come at Hexham. Has fallen to a handy mark following a quiet start to this year (underwent another breathing operation prior to latest start), and could be interesting if revived by a 12-week break (goes well fresh).

Form: 1466-76

Kingofthegame⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: M Todhunter| OR: 84| BF| CD

5/1

Has really got his act together this season, winning a C&D handicap hurdle and chase here in May/June. Lost crucial momentum at the last when close third on a hat-trick bid here (25f). Reverts to hurdling off 2 lb higher, which may just be enough to prevent a third course win.

Form: 4-F3113

Star Vantage^p,t⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 83

10/1

Strong-travelling maiden has placed a couple of times at this track. Ran well to finish ¾-length second in a race that didn't favour his hold-up style at Market Rasen (23f) 8 weeks ago. His record (0-36) speaks for itself, though.

Form: 4445-42

Fortunes Dawn¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 78

22/1

Inexpensive maiden pointer. Built on a better qualifying run when 8¾ lengths fourth of 11 on handicap bow at Perth (3m). Looks an out-and-out stayer and may just find this too competitive.

Form: 54-7934

Another Pearl^b1²⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: S Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 76

8/1

Signs of ability in bumpers. Didn't offer much over hurdles for Georgina Nicholls last season, however, has since undergone a significant trainer change. Now returns over a longer trip in more severe headgear, and she may well produce an improved effort off her basement mark.

Forecasts

Kingofthegame (4/1), Star Vantage (9/2), Masterminding (11/2), Secret Secret (13/2), Stiletto (7/1), Seeyainthesuninn (15/2), Frisky Whiskey (14/1), Another Pearl (14/1), Dusky Days (14/1), Getaway Master (14/1), Killybegs Jet Lady (14/1), Larkfield Lusive (14/1), Fortunes Dawn (25/1), Robert d'Ores (25/1)

First-time blinkers and a change of stable could be the catalysts for an improved showing from ANOTHER PEARL. She's narrowly preferred to 3-time course winner Secret Secret, with Getaway Master potentially interesting on his return.
