Form: 7334-5
OR: 89
W: 12st 0lb
Age: 6 yo Gelding
0-12 over hurdles; beaten 33l when never in contention at Hexham (2m, soft) last month; his mark continues to drop but he looks a risky proposition at present.
Form: /00PF-
OR: 88
W: 11st 13lb
Age: 5 yo Gelding
5yo who didn't show much at big prices in five hurdle runs (2m-2m3f) in Ireland; now makes debut for new yard and he needs a transformation.
Form: 36374-
OR: 83
W: 11st 8lb
Age: 7 yo Mare
Won three on the Flat in 2023 when trained by Charlie Johnston; 0-9 over hurdles and beaten around 40l at Taunton on her last two starts; this looks easier and she may show more.
Form: /3457- D
OR: 78
W: 11st 3lb
Age: 10 yo Gelding
Has a poor strike rate of 2-46 over hurdles, the last of those wins in January 2024; down to a career-low mark after an eight-month break and hard to fancy.
OUR TIP
Form: 55-43
OR: 82
W: 11st 2lb
Age: 4 yo Filly
0-15 under rules but ran her best race over hurdles when third of six finishers on her handicap debut at Stratford (2m, good to firm) 13 days ago; open to more improvement and should go close.
Form: 580-6
OR: 75
W: 10st 9lb
Age: 4 yo Filly
Beaten 37l, 52l, 43l and 21l in four hurdle runs and makes limited appeal on handicap debut.

Betting Forecast

6/1 Linden Lane, 10/1 Crab Road, 11/4 Ask Peter, 6/1 Coup De Gold, 7/4 Blue Siam, 6/1 Minnie Belle

Verdict

Most of these are out of sorts at present and the one improver in the field is BLUE SIAM who was a creditable third on her handicap hurdle debut recently and this looks a good opportunity for her to get off the mark. Ask Peter has been disappointing over hurdles but this is the best chance she has had for a while to break her duck in this sphere and she shouldn’t be far away. The rest all have work to do to make an impression. [Andrew Bladen]
