Bet With The Dewhurst Ring Handicap Hurdle

3YO plus | Class 4 | 2m 47y | 10 Runners | Turf

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Power⁽⁵⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 115| D

Scored at Kelso on hurdling debut last October and in good form after until a below-par (in first-time hood) sixth of 15 in handicap at Ayr (2m, soft) in April. Not out of things despite 5-month absence.

Form: 144456-

Tintintin^t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Kielan Woods| T: F O'Brien| OR: 112| D

Fairly useful at his best. Looked badly out of sorts last season and failed to revive after 7-month absence when seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (2½m, good) 31 days ago. Lurks on a handy mark if back on song, though.

Form: 40/7P9-7

Bathgate¹⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss Natasha Cookson⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 112| D

Gained a third win of the season at Catterick (19f) in February but he ended the campaign with below-par efforts at Catterick and Kelso. Needs to bounce back after 6 months off.

Form: 141169-

Follow Charlie^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Murray Dodd⁽⁵⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 110| CD

Has returned better than ever and followed C&D success in July with victory in 2½m handicap here in August. Posted a very good third of 10 (off 6 lb higher) to Annie Agnew in handicap here (2½m, good) 16 days ago. Can go well again.

Form: 94-4113

Magnolia^p,t¹²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 108| D

Back-to-back 2m winner at Kelso last season. In good form in early season too, running on into fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17f, good) in May. Has won off a break so he's not without interest off a handy-looking mark with yard going well.

Form: 5602-34

Annie Agnew^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr D McGill⁽⁵⁾| T: Gerald Quinn| OR: 108| C

Right back on track of late and gained a first success in 10-runner handicap hurdle here (2½m, good) 16 days ago. Up 5 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood.

Form: 5P-4021

Nobotheratall¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson| OR: 105| D

Reverted to front-running tactics when landing 2m Kelso novice hurdle in May. Good second under a penalty at Hexham next time but below par both runs since, including on handicap bow over C&D 16 days ago.

Form: 79-1247

Try Them¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: P Neville| OR: 107| CD

Has made a positive start for new yard and got off the mark in C&D maiden in August. Not discredited when fourth of 8 on handicap bow over C&D (good) 16 days ago. No forlorn hope eased 2 lb with few miles still on the clock.

Form: 55-0214

Pure Gold¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 102| CD

Took this contest a year ago and she looks primed for another bold showing on the back of a good third of 8 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 16 days ago, faring best of those held up. A player eased 1 lb.

Form: 5-44343

El Jefe^t²⁰⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽³⁾| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 100| D

On a losing run but he posted plenty of creditable efforts last season. Has gone well fresh so not out of things on his seasonal return after 6 months off the track.

Forecasts

Annie Agnew (11/4), Follow Charlie (10/3), Try Them (13/2), Magnolia (13/2), Caballo De Guerra (8/1), Pure Gold (10/1), Nobotheratall (14/1), Bathgate (14/1), El Jefe (16/1), Tintintin (16/1)

A competitive handicap but MAGNOLIA has slipped to a lenient mark and with her yard going well she looks the way to go on her return from a break. Last year's winner Pure Gold seems primed for a big run and rates a big danger though, while in-form duo Follow Charlie and Annie Agnew can also play prominent roles.
