Free Racing On Monday 10th March Handicap Hurdle

State Of Fame^t,v1⁶⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Cameron Iles⁽⁷⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 100

Bumper/multiple point winner but 0-11 over hurdles, including only midfield in handicaps at Uttoxeter and Hereford since joining Tom Lacey. Has first-time visor added to a tongue tie.

Form: P21-176

Star Of Affinity^t⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Freddie Gingell⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 99

Had previously shaped like more of a staying type but showed benefit of wind surgery/application of a tongue strap after 5 months off when landing an Exeter handicap in October. Good placed efforts since and likely to make his presence felt again.

Form: 43-P123

Ugo Bingo^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Anna Johnston⁽⁷⁾| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 98| CD

Going the right way at present, winning his last two completed outings. Showed a good attitude and was well on top at the finish at Wincanton last time, so plenty to like about his chances back up in trip.

Form: 5341U1

Just Go For It^t³²

Age: 12| Weight: 11-11| J: James Best| T: K Bishop| OR: 97| CD

C&D winner who possibly needed the run on first outing since leaving Mitchell Hunt (after 7 months off) when well-held third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Hereford in November. Failed to build on that when eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (19.8f, soft) 32 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 130-638

Hermes Le Gris^t²⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Liam Harrison| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 95

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle (2/1) at Ffos Las (20f, soft), driven clear. May yet have more to offer for this stable but 9-month absence is a slight concern.

Form: 5F1261-

Kendelu^b³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: N J Hawke| OR: 95| CD

Has gone well here in the past but showed nothing back from a 35-month absence on return and is hard to make any sort of case for with that in mind.

Form: 11603/0

Taritino^h³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Taylor Fisher| T: J Tickle| OR: 95

Fair on Flat for Amy Murphy and showed an aptitude for hurdling for this yard last season. Racked up a hat-trick back on the level subsequently but only mid-field here last month.

Form: 4447-6

Exmoor Lad⁴²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott| OR: 94

Hasn't threatened as yet but there was a good deal more encouragement under a patient ride when fifth in a C&D novice last time. That was 14 months ago, however, so market likely to be informative on handicap debut.

Form: 099/5-

A Little Something³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 92

Career-best on handicap debut at Hereford when third of 9 (16.2f, good to soft) 27 days ago, shaping as if she will stay further. Step up in trip would seem to be to her advantage based on that showing and she has solid claims.

Form: P37523

West Park Boy²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 89

Clear signs of ability in his 3 qualifying runs and seemed the type who would make an impact in handicap hurdles. Has struggled on two outings since a long absence, though.

Form: 805/7P

Johannes^p⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe| OR: 89| CD

A fair 2m Flat winner in France and off the mark over hurdles at Taunton in February. Pulled up on all three outings since, however, so plenty to prove.

Form: 061P-PP

Broomfield Gale^h1¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Reed| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 88

Modest hurdler at best in Ireland for Robert Murphy. Solid effort on penultimate outing but disappointing at Warwick last time, so needs hood to have a positive effect.

Form: 658377

Churchman²⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Jay Tidball⁽⁵⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 86

Went close in 2m course handicap last February. Should stay this far but off since a below-form fifth over 2½m at Bangor in May.

Form: 8424-35

Nobody's Perfect^h⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR: 86

Little to shout about in bumpers/over hurdles to date but not unduly punished on most recent outing and could make more impact now switched to a handicap over a longer trip.

Form: 4-74674

Bruce Gobbler⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Ben Godfrey| T: K Woollacott| OR: 85

Little form of worth for the Philip Hobbs & Johnson White stable last season, including well held on handicap debut in February. Has won a point since but well-held fourth in that sphere last month ahead of this return to hurdles.

Form: 0F-P314

Diesel Line³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR: 84

Attracted support and made a winning debut in good style in 9-runner bumper at Exeter in February 2023. Disappointing so far over hurdles, including in handicap at Fontwell last time, and others make more appeal.

Form: 1/309-77

Forecasts

Ugo Bingo (11/4), A Little Something (6/1), Star Of Affinity (7/1), Hermes Le Gris (7/1), Nobody's Perfect (10/1), Churchman (12/1), State Of Fame (12/1), Exmoor Lad (14/1), Diesel Line (16/1), West Park Boy (16/1), Taritino (16/1), Johannes (25/1), Broomfield Gale (25/1), Just Go For It (25/1), Bruce Gobbler (33/1), Kendelu (33/1)

A LITTLE SOMETHING stepped up on previous form when third at Hereford on handicap debut and this longer trip is likely draw further improvement out of her, so she's narrowly preferred to Ugo Bingo, who looks firmly on the up. Another likeable effort is expected from the in-form Star of Affinity.
