Race Description This is a two miles and three furlongs handicap hurdle race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 100. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 7lb.

Charlie Price (5) J Tim Vaughan, Cowbridge T

TIMEFORM VIEW Winning pointer and well handicapped on the pick of his chase form. Hasn’t stood much racing though, and both runs this term have lacked promise.

TIMEFORM VIEW Showed ability in points/novice hurdles and shaped as if needing the run at Ffos Las on return in November. Has had a wind operation since (also tongue tied) and remains low mileage.

TIMEFORM VIEW Modest form in three runs over hurdles, creditable fourth of 11 in novice at Wincanton (15.3f) 39 days ago. More needed now handicapping up in trip though and yard also has Broke Away here.

TIMEFORM VIEW Best run over hurdles when fourth on Exeter handicap debut (21f) in November, but well beaten both starts since. Bounce back called for.

TIMEFORM VIEW Modest form only start in bumpers and hasn’t shown enough in maiden/novice hurdles to be of interest on this switch to handicaps.

TIMEFORM VIEW Has shown bits of promise, including when fourth in a C&D novice in March, but has made an unpromising start to life in handicaps this term. Refitted tongue tie needs to have a positive effect.

TIMEFORM VIEW Won twice over C&D in 2018/19, but out of sorts when last seen over fences here in February, so returns with something to prove.

TIMEFORM VIEW Maiden who returned with a good third in 2m handicap at Exeter in November, but went backwards when well held at Wincanton last time. Needs to bounce back.

TIMEFORM VIEW Posted a good second in 12f Flat handicap at Southwell on final run for Iain Jardine. However, was well held back over hurdles for new yard at Exeter last month.

TIMEFORM VIEW Well held in a trio of novice hurdles, but her bumper efforts weren’t devoid of promise, so she may do better now venturing into handicaps.

TIMEFORM VIEW Landed 19f Fontwell handicap in October and has continued in good form, sixth of 17 in mares event at Wincanton (19.8f) last time. Can make presence felt.

TIMEFORM VIEW Landed a gamble to make a winning chase debut at Worcester in May 2018. Seemingly hard to train since and has offered little both starts back over fences this season.

PLAY SMARTER A tricky low-grade handicap for which BROKE AWAY may be the answer having shaped as if back in top form at Leicester last time. The dangers are headed by Sprit of Rome, who has held her form well since striking at Fontwell in October, and the low mileage Full of Roque, who may have benefited from a wind operation.
