Paul Ferguson's Jumpers To Follow Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:34 | Winning time: 6m 8.80s

Wee Alki^p,t¹⁰³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 103

14/1

Registered his second win at Hexham in 15-runner handicap in May, running on well for pressure. Seemingly unsuited by track when a bit below that level at Cartmel but looked temperamental back at winning venue in June and he's never been one for maximum faith.

Form: P22-16P

Way Maker^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: James Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 102| BF

3/1

Dual bumper scorer who ran to a fair level on second hurdles start when runner-up in a Southwell maiden in June. Rather expensive to follow since, his jumping an issue but step up in trip will suit and this opening mark really should be within range.

Form: 32U322

Broken Ice^t³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: Alex Harvey⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 102| CD

9/2

Back to form with third over C&D last month. Confirmed he's not as good over fences these days when never a factor at Kilbeggan last month but this is easier back in Britain and returned to smaller obstacles.

Form: 48-5035

Maillot Blanc¹⁰⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Dominic Hislop⁽⁷⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 100| CD

22/1

Successful over C&D last summer and off the mark for 2026 when dead-heating at Kelso in May. Can't have been right when pulled up back here a month later and off since.

Form: 2832-1P

Jetovango^p⁸⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson| OR: 100

11/2

Seemed to run massively above himself when third of 14 in a maiden chase fitted with cheekpieces at Wexford in June. Definite scope from this mark back hurdling on that form and he's since made an interesting stable switch. Shortlisted back up in distance.

Form: 0304-P3

Dalileo¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-9| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 98| CD

25/1

Course regular, winning back-to-back C&D handicaps in July. Looked anchored by revised mark next time before turning in a shocker 17 days ago.

Form: 731178

Steps In The Sand²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 96

3/1

Benefited from the step back up in trip when a ½-length second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (2½m) in August, collared only late by an unexposed rival. Fitted with cheekpieces and way she shaped at Kilbeggan since suggests she's worth a go at this trip.

Form: 8-43427

Secret Secret^t²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Leah Noreci⁽⁷⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 95

16/1

Cartmel regular, adding to his haul in July 2025. Rather in-and-out since and he tends to struggle away from that venue these days.

Form: 545353

Reflection Of You^p²³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Gregor Walkingshaw⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 90| D

15/2

Point/bumper winner who made successful switch to hurdling (had been chasing) at Musselburgh in December. Sound third back there 6 weeks later and while off the track since, she's in very capable hands.

Form: 353P13-

Forecasts

Way Maker (3/1), Steps In The Sand (3/1), Broken Ice (9/2), Jetovango (11/2), Reflection Of You (15/2), Wee Alki (14/1), Secret Secret (16/1), Maillot Blanc (22/1), Dalileo (25/1)

WAY MAKER could do with brushing up his jumping but this step up in trip may place less pressure on that department and the strong suspicion is that he's better than his opening mark. Jetovango is very interesting starting out for Triston Davidson, with Broken Ice another to consider.
