Albert Bartlett Triple Crown Series Handicap Hurdle

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
—	1	—	Thank You Blue (G) Pulled Up Thriving sort made the most of a good opportunity to land the hat-trick at Ludlow 8 days ago and 2 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the 4-timer.	1P5P-43	Lewis Stones J Candlish	9	76.2kg	5 4/1
6th	2	—	Assertive Walk (G) Third in bumper last season and having shown promise amidst greenness in pair of hurdles starts, could improve for the quick switch to handicaps, for all his mark is on the stiff side.	3-2364	Jonjo O'Neill Jr. J & A O'Neill	6	75.7kg	11 10/1
—	3	—	Gege Ville (G) Pulled Up Course bumper winner who's lightly raced for his age and has shaped as though still capable of winning races in a pair of starts this season. Likely player, for all he'd prefer more pace in the race.	36/12-35	Danny McMenamin N G Richards	10	73.9kg	9.50 17/2
—	4	—	Chanceawetmorning (G) FAV Pulled Up Maiden Irish-raider who ran his best race when second behind a lightly-raced one in a 16-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 50 days ago but faces a tough ask off 11 lb higher mark.	P1-1319	Mr O McGill N C Kelly	6	73.9kg	3.50 5/2
3rd	5	—	Kazar Forez (G) Made it 3-3 for the season when cosy winner at Catterick in January and though upped in grade, he's unexposed over this longer trip.	298-111	Joshua Thompson Micky Hammond	6	73.5kg	8.50 15/2
4th	6	—	Follow Charlie (G) P 3-time C&D winner wasn't disgraced when well held second over 3m at this course last time but likely needs further respite from the handicapper.	62494-4	Nathan Moscrop R M Smith	7	72.6kg	29 28/1
5th	7	—	Forest Blaze (G) V Underlined that he's a solid proposition when chasing home a subsequent winner at Wetherby in January but rise in grade does him no favours.	4-52325	Jamie Hamilton M Walford	7	71.2kg	7.50 13/2
1st	8	—	Red Cadillac (G) Back on the up when making a winning reappearance at Carlisle in November and very much bumped into one (who's won easily since) at this course the following month. Will need to improve upped in grad…	326/121-	Callum Bewley N G Richards	7	71.2kg	9.50 17/2
2nd	9	—	Coconut Splash (G) V Best effort for current yard when sixth over C&D but looked awkward under pressure over a shorter trip at this track last time. No surprise to see more severe headgear fitted.	P-66682	Mr Kit Alexander N W Alexander	11	70.8kg	12 11/1
—	10	—	Largy Meadow (G) Fell HT Headstrong sort has yet to match his debut bumper form in maiden/novice hurdles and while his opening mark looks on the harsh side, he could prove more competitive on first start following a breathin…	46F2P-2	Ben Smith R M Smith	6	68kg	29 28/1
