13:25 – Jurancon
Plenty in this novice hurdle look longer-term/handicap projects but JURANCON cemented the positive start he’s made in this sphere for David Pipe when chasing home another promising sort in Kap Vert at Exeter six weeks ago, and he rates a big player here with a first-time tongue strap fitted. French raider Kloth of Utopia, dropped in trip following his Ascot third to Western Knight, is the obvious danger, ahead of free-going front-runner Big Ginge who’s been runner-up in both his starts over hurdles.
13:55 – Laughing John
Those who have already run over hurdles don’t set that high a standard and Nicky Henderson has his string in excellent nick so LAUGHING JOHN, whose dam was a fair winner over hurdles, is fancied to make a winning debut in this four-year-olds’ contest. Blue Moon Lady, who made a winning debut in a fillies’ event at Ludlow last month, has a penalty to carry as a result but looks the main danger ahead of Highbury Hill who kept on well to finish eight lengths third in the same race.
14:25 – Moulins Clermont
MOULINS CLERMONT was upped markedly in trip and left his chase debut well behind when second to Herakles Westwood over this course and distance four weeks ago and should have more to offer over fences for Gary & Josh Moore. He shades the vote over the thriving Jasmin de Grugy who improved again when making it four wins in a row on his debut over fences at Southwell last time. New Order is another to consider after his easy win at Warwick.
15:00 – Dancing In Brazil
Lots with chances in this handicap hurdle so at the likely odds it is worth siding with Nigel Twiston-Davies’ new recruit DANCING IN BRAZIL to capitalise on a handy mark and make a winning return having left Alan King. Harry Derham’s lightly-raced Norn Iron looks to have better days ahead of him now he goes into handicaps and rates a big danger, while Bucephalus, Lightningupourdays and Knight Templar need factoring in too. Thererisnodoubt completes the shortlist.
15:35 – Dont Rightly Know
DON’T RIGHTLY KNOW has been fast-tracked to listed company by Polly Gundry in this mares’ contest after proving to be an absolute natural on her first try over fences at Exeter last month when making all to win a handicap by ten lengths and she can justify her connections’ confidence with Harry Cobden in the saddle this time. The thriving Lady Balko who completed a hat-trick in handicaps last month is feared most in what looks a competitive event despite the small field.
16:08 – Geturguccion
An intriguing finale with the narrow vote in favour of lightly-raced six-year-old GETURGUCCION at the foot of the weights. Alan King’s mare makes a quick switch to handicaps having finished runner-up in both starts over hurdles to date in this sphere to date and appeals as being potentially well treated now her stamina is tested further on her first try at three miles. Last-time-out winners Keable, Job and Prophesea head up the dangers in that order.
