Jump Season Finale Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle
Quaresome 1pt win only 7/1 – Needs to bounce back from a couple of lesser runs returning from a break and reverts straight back to hurdles having finished last on his latest outing making his chase debut. Todays switch back to hurdles and a drop back to 2 mile both rate big positives for this runner and he has always gone well fresh too so the lay off is a plus not a minus. Still very lightly raced for a 7 year old and he has some decent looking place form at this trip in the book. Capable of picking up a race of this magnitude, especially now he has been eased in the weights.

Ladies Night 5th July Handicap Hurdle
Rioja Alta 1pt win only 4/1 – Comfortable winner over todays trip at Sedgefield 2 starts back and followed that up with a good second in behind a subsequent winner who looked to be well ahead of the handicapper when coming out to win again next time upped 9lb. Goes from the same mark again here today and looks good for another big run. Blinkers retained and they seem to be the key to getting this one going well.

Trojan Motor Company And Instant Justice Handicap Chase
Begin The Luck 1pt win only 15/2 – CD winner with heavy ground form who now sits 8lb below his last winning chase mark. Back up in trip on this very familiar stomping ground could be just the tonic to get this one back to winning ways. Yard have been in good form of late and had a winner here last week. So to summarise we have CD form, Heavy ground winner, yard going well and a very good claimer on board to top things off.

Unibet Middle Distance Veterans’ Handicap Chase
Eldorado Allen 1pt win only 10/1 – Made a couple of costly blunders over the National fences last time out and was pitched in a little too deep the time before in the Denman chase. Would likely have stood up to that test in his heyday but this looks a more realistic company to be running in nowadays. Had previously run well over a similar trip in behind last years winner of this race Numitor at Cheltenham and has since eased in the weights giving him a massive 14lb pull with that rival.

Buy In Advance At Huntingdon Racecourse Handicap Hurdle
Shibuya Song 1pt win only 16/1 – Won fresh from a break back in September in a race that has since worked out very well. Failed to shine in two runs following that and has since been given some time off track. Only 4lb higher than when a comfortable winner at Worcester back in September and will still be open to plenty of improvement in this sphere being so unexposed. Needs to bounce back but is potentially still very well handicapped.

Virgin Bet Every Saturday Money Back Silver Arrow Handicap
Rockymountainway 1pt win only 17/2 – Very consistent sort last year with 2 wins and 4 placed efforts from just 7 runs including a good second from this mark over CD when last seen. Returns to action having sat out the Winter and holds bags of potential for improvement here today. Went well on return last year and can do so again today as a possible improver.
