Having just her third start over hurdles when respectable fifth of 9 in novice at Exeter (16.7f, good, 85/40) 20 days ago and could have more to offer on switch to handicapping.

Fair performer on Flat (stays 1½m) but has failed to trouble the judge all 3 starts in this sphere to date. Goes handicapping now.

Showed a bit more than previously over hurdles when fifth of 13 in novice at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 24 days ago. May do better on handicap debut but opening mark could have been kinder.

Ugo Bingo13
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Cannon| T: Anthony Charlton| OR:  88
Fair form when winning sole Flat start in France and looks to have been brought along gradually in this sphere. Worth monitoring in market on handicap bow.

Secret Saucet105
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-2| J: Bradley Harris(3)| T: Anthony Charlton| OR:  86WS
Yet to score over hurdles and ran poorly when last seen in this sphere at Worcester in July. Likely best watched after wind operation.

Age: 4|  Weight: 11-1| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Christian Williams| OR:  85
Off the mark at Fontwell (17.7f) last month and improved again when second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (18.5f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Leading contender.

Simply Gorgeoust150
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-8| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR:  77
Fair at best on Flat but has offered little on both her completed starts over hurdles. Makes limited appeal on switch to handicapping.

Horse silk
Rocky's Gloryh1,t69
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-5| J: Liam Harrison| T: D J Jeffreys| OR:  74
Too keen for own good when seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good) 69 days ago. First-time hood looks a good move on handicap debut and is worth a second look in the market.

Blitz Spirit456
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-5| J: Aaron Anderson(5)| T: M Wigham| OR:  70
Fair performer on the Flat in France but she has yet to make a meaningful impact in this sphere and hasn't been seen for 15 months. Hard to recommend on return for new yard.

Forecasts

Catboy (11/8), Mavis Pike (15/8), Rocky's Glory (10/1), Ugo Bingo (12/1), Simply Gorgeous (12/1), Stopnsearch (14/1), Dreams Fled Away (20/1), Secret Sauce (25/1), Blitz Spirit (33/1)

Verdict

CATBOY has looked a different proposition since tried in headgear and can register his second success. Mavis Pike and Ugo Bingo may provide the chief threat.
