CopyBet Overnight Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap Hurdle

Runner-up in a course bumper. Didn't really kick on after finishing runner-up on hurdling debut this time last year. Tighter in the betting when well-held fourth under a change of tactics on return at Worcester (2m, soft). Worth a look with a couple from that race running well subsequently.

Tricky customer (has refused to race) who finished runner-up twice here in 2024. Well beaten in a couple of handicap hurdles this time last year prior to a typically inconsistent season on the Flat. Drops into class 5 company for first time in this sphere and not ruled out if on a going day.

Enthusiastic front runner who completed a Stratford/Sedgefield double under this rider last November. Entitled to come on for his reappearance (pulled up) at Uttoxeter last time, however, others look better off at the weights here.

Looked better than ever when making most to score off this mark at Taunton (2m, soft) in February. Probably in better heart than subsequent form figures would suggest, again facing competition for the lead when mid-field in a deeper handicap on reappearance last month.

Hold-up type. Suited by the emphasis on speed when winning both starts since returning from a 6-month absence, latterly quickening clear in class 4 handicap at Huntingdon (2m). Eases back down in grade, and he may well extend his winning sequence. Engaged 12.50 Warwick Wednesday.

Smoothly notched a third Taunton success on penultimate hurdle start in April. Better than ever when winning twice on the Flat before better than the bare result at Epsom in late-September. Could still be some mileage in his mark back hurdling, for all he arrives on the back of a busy 2026 to date.

Won 3 times in points after offering little for John Joseph Hanlon. Didn't build on the minor promise of his return to Rules when well beaten (again at long odds) in first-time tongue strap at Uttoxeter (2½m) on handicap bow. Yard still very quiet.

Modest 1¼m winner on the Flat. Again failed to build on his hurdling debut when 30 lengths third of 6 (took strong hold) on qualifying run at Newton Abbot (17f). Doesn't look especially well treated on first start in low-grade handicap.

Lightly-raced hurdler who has his quirks. Fortunate to open his hurdles account in small-field event at Stratford in July. Again ran creditably when 3¾-length second in weak handicap over same C&D latest. Will need to improve to go one better on first start since leaving excellent James Owen yard.
