From The Horses Mouth Podcast Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:58 | Winning time: -

Sir Galahad^p¹⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Lewis Saunders⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 135

10/1

Recorded a 4-timer in first half of 2025 and added to his tally at Uttoxeter (2½m) in May, though was seen to good effect in a soundly-run race. Failed to repeat that effort in listed handicap (2¾m) at the Galway festival and has stamina to prove upped further in trip.

Form: 260-210

Rambo T³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 133

7/2

Winner of the Silver Trophy at Chepstow (19f) last year but didn't kick on from that effort the remainder of the campaign. After 5 months off, ran well when fifth of 17 in a stronger renewal of the Chepstow race in October and he's now 4 lb below his last winning mark. Merits consideration.

Form: 8000-65

Lucky Lyreen^v1¹⁷³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Freddie Keighley⁽⁵⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 129| D

33/1

Useful hurdler who didn't quite match that level over fences last season, though did win a Down Royal handicap in January. Mixed form in 3 subsequent outings, pulled up at Ballinrobe when last seen in May. Reverts to hurdles and switches to a visor on first run since leaving Gordon Elliott.

Form: 05105-P

Blizzard Of Oz²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: Faye Bramley| OR: 127

33/1

Landed a listed chase for Willie Mullins last season before losing his way over fences. Got back on track reverted to hurdles when winning minor event at Thurles in March, but ran poorly the next twice and well held in a pair of handicaps for this yard, the latest over C&D 3 weeks ago.

Form: P1P-580

Ifiwerearichman^p⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁵⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 127

4/1

Useful winner over fences and has been shaping well from his lower mark over hurdles this season, meeting trouble in running when sixth of 14 in handicap at Listowel (2½m) 7 weeks ago. Yard has been going well and he makes plenty of appeal up in trip.

Form: 3P-3686

Margaret's Legacy^h¹⁹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Richard Upton⁽¹⁰⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 126

13/2

Won handicap chases at around 2½m on first 2 starts for current yard in 2024/25. However, his form went the wrong way last season and fared no better back over hurdles when mid-field in handicap at Punchestown (23f) in April. Hood reapplied after 6 months off.

Form: 1/24600-

Hartur D'arc²²²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Conor Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 120| D

40/1

Began the year in fine form for Gavin Gromwell, runner-up on first 2 outings (over fences on the second occasion). However, has struggled for form over both hurdles/fences for present stable, pulled up in the Irish Grand National when last seen 7 months ago.

Form: 0/P0P8P-

Black Bamboo^b¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Michael Kenneally⁽³⁾| T: J J Murphy| OR: 118

12/1

Losing run is mounting up but in first-time blinkers he ran better than for a while when second of 14 in handicap at Cork (2½m) 13 days ago, though was held when left second at the last. Task is now to build on his latest run back up in trip.

Form: 4009-02

Aimeric³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: William Shanahan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 115

6/1

Smart at best on the Flat (stays 1¾m) and has been getting the hang of things over hurdles, making it back-to-back handicap wins at Sedgefield when getting the better of William Yeats over 21f last month. Up in grade but could still have more to offer given his ability on the level.

Form: 4-44211

William Yeats^t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 114| D

3/1

After 5 months off, made second start for this trainer a winning one in handicap at Sedgefield (2½m) in August. Progressed again when runner-up to Aimeric at the same course next 2 starts, before overcoming the run of the race when scoring at Newcastle (3m) 9 days ago.

Form: 33-1221

Forecasts

William Yeats (3/1), Rambo T (7/2), Ace Of Spades (4/1), Ifiwerearichman (4/1), Gold For Alec (5/1), Aimeric (6/1), Margaret's Legacy (13/2), Geezer Rockstar (8/1), Horaces Pearl (8/1), Sir Galahad (10/1), Black Bamboo (12/1), Wonderful Eagle (14/1), Moon Mission (25/1), Lucky Lyreen (33/1), Blizzard Of Oz (33/1), Hartur D'arc (40/1)

Preference is for IFIWEREARICHMAN, who has looked in good form over hurdles this season without being seen to best effect. He could be ready to open his account for the campaign racing from 8 lb below his mark over fences, though Ace of Spades isn't taken lightly for the Skeltons with his reappearance run behind him. Rambo T could also be in the mix.
