Goodwin^p1⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Freddie Gordon⁽³⁾| T: C Gordon| OR: 112| C

11/10

Fairly useful bumper/dual novice hurdle winner. Has struggled in a light handicap career since but did shape better than tenth of 14 suggests in the very competitive Summer Handicap at Market Rasen last time, leading until before 3 out. Visor off, first-time cheekpieces on. Worth chancing.

Form: 31/66-P0

Pahlavi^t¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: P Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 110

5/1

Finally got off the mark when leading in the dying strides at Downpatrick under Paddy Hanlon 13 days ago. Not obviously well treated off his new mark but does at least arrive in form.

Form: 873051

Sun Joy^t²¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 102

5/2

Fair winning hurdler who ran to a similar level when runner-up over fences at Sedgefield (19f) last November. Well held over hurdles at Kempton 3 months later and off again since. Given a chance by the handicapper so could be dangerous if ready to roll after 7 months off.

Form: 1PP/527-

Brave Jen^p,t¹⁸¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Andrews⁽³⁾| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 101

40/1

Dual winner for Tom Ellis towards the end of 2024 but struggled in 2 outings for new yard in the spring. Back from 6 months off with something to prove.

Form: 312185-

Stinginhisstep¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 96| D

13/2

Winner of 2 handicap hurdles over 18.5f at Newton Abbot this summer. Not in the same form when only seventh of 13 there last month but this is less competitive.

Form: 9-21317

Forecasts

Goodwin (11/10), Sun Joy (5/2), Pahlavi (5/1), Stinginhisstep (13/2), Brave Jen (40/1)

A chance is taken on GOODWIN who led for a long way in a very strong handicap at Market Rasen last time and may find it easier attempting to give weight to lesser rivals. The returning Sun Joy is potentially well treated and might provide more of a threat than last-time-out Irish winner Pahlavi.
