10/1
Out of form since finishing runner-up at Bangor (good) over an extended 2m in September last year including when well held at Uttoxeter (good-to-soft) last month and others make more appeal here.

17/2
Finished runner-up over C&D in a novice hurdle on good ground in April 2016. No show since including when beaten 63L in a maiden hurdle last time. Making his handicap debut today.

13/2
Raced off a 1lb lower mark when runner-up over 2m4f on good ground here in May. Well beaten since and work to do if he's to reverse form with Wot A Shot from their running over C&D last month.

40/1
Put a couple of non-completions behind her when finishing 20L third of four over C&D on good ground a month ago. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

8/1
C&D winner on good ground back in April. Held in two subsequent starts most recently behind Wot A Shot when 16L sixth here last month and races off a mark 5lb higher than for that course success today.

Novo Dawn8
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-1| J: Mr J J Codd| T: S R B Crawford| OR:  88
7/2
Put a disappointing effort here behind him when finishing third of 13 over 2m1f at Cartmel (soft) last time out. Races off a 2lb lower mark today and interesting with a leading amateur booked to ride today.

Age: 9|  Weight: 11-1| J: James Bowen(7)| T: G Elliott| OR:  88
10/3
Winner over 1m6f on the AW in January 2016 but well held in three subsequent starts that winter. Purchased for £3,000 by current connections that May and worth a check in the market on his stable debut here.

Maiden after five starts and well beaten in handicap company over an extended 2m4f and over 3m at Southwell the last twice. Drops markedly in trip and wears blinkers for the first time today.

Successful three times over hurdles in France and put in her best performance for this stable when finishing third of eight over C&D on good ground last month. Interesting off the same mark here.

Forecasts

Pinotage (10/3), Novo Dawn (7/2), Wot A Shot (7/2), Firstymini (9/2), Kisumu (5/1), Motion To Strike (13/2), Bahrikate (8/1), Outlaw Josey Wales (17/2), Maoi Chinn Tire (10/1), Don Sebastian (22/1), Recognition (33/1), Queen Of Avalon (40/1)

Verdict

NOVO DAWN put in a career best effort when finishing third at Cartmel last time and can take this competitive looking handicap hurdle. The selection has had just two starts in handicap company in this sphere and represents a stable who can boast a 29% strike-rate (2/7) in recent weeks. Firstymini a three time winner in his native France put in his best performance since joining this stable when third over C&D last time and can go one better here while Wot A Shot, a winner here last month can take third.
  1. Novo Dawn
  2. Firstymini
  3. Wot A Shot
