Wetherby Race 3 - Bet365 Hcp Hurdle

SERVICE MINIMUM (1) secured a good 2.5L victory in a 4300m handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot two starts back then followed up placing third in a 4000m handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter. Could bounce back. HANDLETHEKETTLE (2) is racing consistently with three wins and two placed efforts past five starts including when second in a 4000m handicap hurdle at Worcester latest. May go one better. SPOT ON SOPH (4) failed bidding for three-in-a-row when second tackling a 5000m handicap hurdle at Market Rasen. May return to winning ways. WASHINGTON (3) will improve from finishing seventh in a Premier Handicap Hurdle at Chepstow.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming favourite; won by 2.5 len Newton Abbot on September 18 over 4300m defeating Kom Tu Voudras carrying 76kg at $5 in a hurdle. Second run from a spell came from midfield; finished third in a small field at Uttoxeter on October 16 over 4000m, 8 len behind Seamoon Story with 76kg at $2.50. Perfectly placed to take care of the small field.

Racing second-up today. Freshened for 56 days. First-up after 14 months held ground to the line finished second of 8 starters at Worcester on September 4 over 4000m, 3.5 len behind That's Nice with 77kg at $3.30. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Ffos Las on May 22 2025 over 3900m, 88 len behind King Roly with 72.5kg at $2.50. Strips fitter and is again a top chance.

Last start made some head-way from midfield; finished seventh of 17 runners at Chepstow on October 10 over 3900m, 14 len behind Daylatedollarshort carrying 65.5kg at $19. At only start last preparation finished tenth of 21 runners at Punchestown in the LR Killashee Hotel Handicap Hurdle on April 28 over 3319m, 21 len behind Kalix Delabarriere carrying 65.5kg at $41. Likely improver who can make amends.

Useful type. Last start finished second of 8 runners at Market Rasen on October 8 over 4600m, 4 len behind Quick Of The Night carrying 73kg at $2.80. The start before that; favourite; raced just off the speed and boxed to post a big 5 len win. Southwell on October 1 over 4100m defeating Crack Ops with 71.5kg at $3.50 in a hurdle. Worth another chance.
