Fontwell Park Race 1 - Bet Clever Bet Goodwin Handicap Hurdle
WESTERN CLOUDS (2) was a touch disappointing under a penalty when third at Uttoxeter in July. May do better now back up in trip. The Olly Murphy trained point-to-point winner won well at Perth a maiden hurdle prior and can make a successful handicap debut. JANWORTH (4) brings good form of late having backed up a Worcester success producing a good fourth at the same venue. Could get involved once more. Recent Uttoxeter runner-up GOLD LINK (5) warrants thought off an unchanged mark. PARTY BUSINESS (1) might find the frame.

Recent form impressive for this race. Freshened for 33 days. Last outing finished fourth in a small field at Uttoxeter on July 27 over 4700m, 7 len behind Pounding Poet with 64.5kg at $9. Before that finished second in a small field at Uttoxeter on June 5 over 4670m, 1.3 len behind Roger Pol carrying 71kg at $5. Deserves another chance.

Impressive in recent runs. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last outing raced on speed throughout then finished third of 10 starters at Uttoxeter on July 25 over 3200m, 7 len behind Soul Limbo carrying 71kg at $1.60. Start before to post a big 3.5 len win.

Useful mare. Resumes off a 53 day letup. Last start made some head-way from midfield; finished fourth of 7 runners at Worcester on July 7 over 4000m, 4.5 len behind Pacific carrying 75.5kg at $2.40. Start before favourite; won by 8 len Worcester on June 12 over 4000m defeating Back In The Bay with 72kg at $2.40 in a hurdle. Best to forgive the last run and go on the good win two back.

Freshened for 33 days. Last outing held ground to the line finished second of 13 starters at Uttoxeter on July 27 over 4000m, 4.5 len behind Chillhi with 74.5kg at $3.50. Before that raced on the pace then finished second of 8 runners at this track on June 10 over 3800m, 6 len behind She Is For Me Boys carrying 72.5kg at $4.30. Fought on last time. Well-placed to take this out.
