Sweeney Oil Handicap Hurdle (Div II)

Third last time out, and a third three starts back too, sandwiched around being brought down - still without a win in the last five starts. Race-fit after nine days and has run over today's going; carries 166 lb, rated 93 and ninth of 19.

Third last time out; a win two starts back is the pick of the form, with a ninth, an unplaced effort and a seventh further back in the book. Has run over today's trip and going before, carrying 165 lb fresh from a 36-day break; rated 93 and eighth of 19.

Recent starts read modestly - unplaced in three of the last five, either side of a pulled-up run and a fifth - yet still holds the standout figure on our book at 103. Main risk: 74 days off and a yard managing just 2 from 41 (5%) in the last fortnight.

Unplaced last time out, but a win three starts back - flanked by a pair of fifths - is the form to focus on. Has run over today's trip and going before and returns from 69 days off carrying 164 lb; rated 98 and fourth of 19.

Pulled up last time out and again three starts back, either side of a fifth, with a ninth and sixth further back, still without a win in the last five. Fresh off just 12 days' rest and rated well above its 90 mark at 98, third of 19.

A second three starts back is the standout in a mixed book that also shows a sixth, an unplaced effort, a fall and an unseated exit. Fresh off just 19 days, with experience over today's trip and going, and rated 103 - the case for this being the pick here.

Runner-up last time out but the four starts before that read 6th, unplaced, 7th and 9th - a mixed book that leaves plenty to prove. Fresh off 17 days, with experience over today's trip and going, but only an 88 rating and eleventh of 19 here.

Third last time out having finished eighth and unplaced in the two starts before that - a sparse book of just three starts, still without a win in that spell. Fresh off a 36-day break, with experience over today's trip and going, rated 93 and tenth of 19.

A largely unplaced book - three such efforts either side of a sixth and a seventh - leaves little to shout about, still without a win in the last five starts. Fresh off 19 days, with experience over today's trip and going, rated 88 and twelfth of 19.

A third five starts back is the high point of a book otherwise filled with a seventh, two unplaced efforts and a fall, and still without a win. Fresh off a 36-day break with experience over today's going, but rated only 75 and sixteenth of 19.

Three thirds in the last five starts, broken up by one unseated exit, with an eighth also in the mix - still without a win. Race-fit after just 11 days with experience over today's going, rated 86 and thirteenth of 19.
