Agri Day At Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle

3YO plus | Class 5 | 3m 1f 10y | 5 Runners | Turf

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 100

Fairly-useful Flat performer who opened his account in this sphere at Uttoxeter (23f) in May and backed that up when a good second there 3 weeks later. Poor efforts next 2 outings but took a clear step back in the right direction at aforementioned track latest and looks of interest again.

Form: 5-12P04

Stiletto^p³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: S Bowen| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 99

Enhanced fine record under Sean Bowen when opening his account for the year at Worcester (23f) in July. Ran at least as well when 1½ lengths third over same C&D next time, but not at his best there latest.

Form: 9-56135

Maggies Boy^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: William Shanahan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 95

Maiden hurdler who made a successful start over fences in handicap chase at Sedgefield (21f) in April, despite tendency to jump right. Most disappointing since in that sphere but did run well back over hurdles when second at Perth in July. Cheekpieces refitted.

Form: PUP245

The Wise Traveller¹³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Jamie Gambin⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 93| CD

Recorded his sixth career success and a fourth over this C&D in small-field handicap in May. Capable fresh and is only 2 lb higher on this return to action.

Form: 777P5-1

Indian Sunbird³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Sara Ender| OR: 90| CD

Dual winner in the first half of last season, including this corresponding event. Returned to his best with his reappearance behind him when second at Southwell (3m) in June and not seen to best effect since, unsuited by drop in trip at Sedgefield (2½m) latest. Not dismissed back up in distance.

Form: 5-32648

Forecasts

The Wise Traveller (11/10), Cinnodin (3/1), Stiletto (5/1), Maggies Boy (6/1), Indian Sunbird (14/1)

CINNODIN took a clear step back in the right direction in a change of headgear when fourth at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago and may still have a bit of untapped potential as a stayer, so he receives the tentative vote. The Wise Traveller isn't getting any younger, but is only 2 lb higher than for his C&D success in May and is capable fresh.
