Swinton Handicap Hurdle 2027 Betting Odds
The going is good at Haydock Racecourse for Saturday's Pertemps Network Swinton Handicap Hurdle, with the runners and riders competing over nearly two miles. A strong test of stamina is on the cards and perhaps Tellherthename will take all the beating. Dan Skelton has enjoyed a stellar 2026 so far and and the horse could be an each-way bet to nothing.

Gibbs Island is one of several horses trading at around the 8/1 mark, with Tom Lacey's charge operating at similar odds to runners such as Dance And Glance. The latter landed two victories last season and there could also be bold runs from Indemnity and Mister Ursus. Expect the bookies to offer additional places from an each-way perspective.

Tellherthename doesn't have excellent form at first glance. However, this horse is trained by the in-form Dan Skelton and there was actually a decent effort at the Cheltenham Festival. A twelfth placed finish in the County Handicap Hurdle was more than respectable considering there was a field of twenty-three horses. Indeed, the horse has been operating in high class races.
Gibbs Island has recorded successive seventh-placed finishes and the latest run was in the above Cheltenham Festival encounter. This came after finishing down the order at Musselburgh. There was a victory at Chepstow back in October when obliging over two miles at the Welsh track. That success was enjoyed by five and a half lengths in the end.
Dance And Glance was an impressive winner on a previous run and has to be respected. Winning an encounter in a Haydock showdown over nearly two miles was highly impressive. It was a victory by four lengths and that came after coping fairly well with the heavy ground at Newbury Racecourse over two miles and half a furlong.
Indemnity has been hitting the frame on a regular basis during a successful career to date. Emma Lavelle's six-year-old was in the winners' enclosure at Plumpton where a five and a half length success was enjoyed. The ground could well come into the horse's favour and we liked the fact that he was only three lengths behind Alexei at Ascot in early November.

There’s a wide open feel to the Swinton Handicap Hurdle at Haydock Park, with the horses currently trading at 7/1 upwards. However, Givemefive has landed a success in the past two races and the Harry Derham-trained charge could potentially win again here. Last time out, there was a success at Haydock Park when obliging over nearly two miles.
Previously to this, there was an 11/10 success against three other runners at Newcastle Racecourse, with the horse obliging as favourite over two miles and a furlong. However, Our Champ is another viable contender and we saw the horse recently finishing third out of eleven horses at Plumpton after a great effort at Cheltenham.
In the William Hill County Handicap Hurdle, the runner was able to finish sixth in a large field over two miles and one furlong. However, we saw Moon Chime win in the previous outing and the seven-year-old looks capable of following that effort up with a win here. The early May success at Hexham means that he will be raring to go for this encounter.
There are a couple of other seven-year-olds in the form of Ooh Betty and Big Boy Bobby. The former was third out of twelve horses at Ayr over two miles, while the latter produced a solid effort at Cheltenham to finish third in a field of sixteen. That came after a second-placed finish in a field of ten previously.
2023 Swinton Handicap Hurdle Tips
Brentford Hope is a horse bidding to land a third consecutive victory, with the six-year-old having won at Huntingdon on 10 April, while there was a win that took place at Huntingdon in late March. Harry Derham therefore has a 100% strike rate with this runner considering the charge switched stables from Richard Hughes before that, with the horse previously impressing.
Byker is a four-year-old who has National Hunt racing experience and the latest of these performances saw the horse finish second to Jazzy Matty in the Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle over two miles and half a furlong. There was only a neck that separated the front two on that occasion, with the horse winning at Naas on Cheltenham Trials Day at the end of January.
Teddy Blue runs for trainer Gary Moore and the five-year-old was previously successful at Plumpton, with the runner claiming a victory by a short head. Previously to this, there was a strong performance in early March at Kelso, with the horse finishing sixth in the bet365 Morebattle Hurdle when being sent off as the 100/30 favourite.
Parramount was disappointed when he lined up at the Grand National meeting at Aintree, with the horse sent off as the 9/2 favourite before finishing well down the order in a handicap hurdle over little more than two miles. Wins at Fakenham and Doncaster occurred before this, with a win at Hereford in November marking him out for a big run here.
