Karannelle is set to be a lively competitor in the Race 6 WCT Tooling Solutions Handicap Hurdle at Newton Abbot, covering a distance of 2m 167y in conditions described as good to soft-soft in places. Scheduled for a 20:25 start, this 10-year-old mare is a seasoned campaigner under the tutelage of D A Rees, ridden by James Bowen. Despite showing modest recent form with no wins from a solitary start in the last 30 days (long-term strike rates aren't exactly awe-inspiring either), she's offered with a live price of 8, implying she's not without a chance in this hurdle contest. Turning our attention to Sassified, this sprightly 7-year-old gelding finds himself in the care of the duo P Hobbs & J White. With M G Nolan in the saddle, Sassified looks keen to make an impact in this race. A new run in the last 30 days didn't yield a win, but with 3 wins from total 16 races over the last 720 days, the statistics hint at some potential under the right circumstances. Bearing a promising live price of 3.5, Sassified might just surprise us with a solid performance. His strike rates, especially over distance details within the last couple of years (30% at the course and 50% at distance), make him a noteworthy runner. Hill Station is the third horse we'll highlight, piloted by Luke Scott and trained by the partnership of Dr R Newland & J Insole. This 6-year-old gelding may not pack the most robust recent record—no wins in recent starts—but his overall profile over more extended periods includes a handy 4 wins from 26 starts. With a live price of 2.88, he is pegged by punters as a strong contender. His moderate strike rates don't scream reliability, but he can't be ruled out entirely. A quick nod to Zufal, a long shot with a live price of 19, could provide an intriguing wager for those feeling particularly adventurous today. Despite modest results in recent outings, surprises are always on the cards in horse racing. Have a punt on these chaps and may your picks jump as high as your spirits when they win! And remember, always bet responsibly!
