9/4
Winner three times over hurdles but yet to score in five attempts over fences. Contest competitive events the last twice including when beaten 43L in a novice handicap chase at Ayr (good) in first time cheekpieces (left off here) last time out.

100/1
Placed in four of his nine point-to-point starts so far but beaten 31L and pulled up on his two outings in hunter chase company to date. Likely to fair better once tackling handicaps.

40/1
Pulled up in all four point-to-point starts in 2016 and well held in two starts over fences since returning to rules racing. Others make more appeal in this contest.

6/4
Dual winner over hurdles in the spring of 2016 including over 2m4f on good ground here in June. Subsequently finished runner-up over 2m5f on chasing debut and an interesting runner here on his first run since finishing ninth in a handicap hurdle at Kempton (good) in February.

Tara Mist28
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-5| J: R Johnson| T: H D Daly| C
15/8
Successful off a mark of 117 in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Ludlow (soft) in January. Well held over shorter the last twice and interesting on chasing debut upped to this trip for the first time today.

Forecasts

Rainy City (6/4), Tara Mist (15/8), Baby Bach (9/4), Call Zac (40/1), Brown Trix (100/1)

Verdict

BABY BACH can register his first chase success at the fourth time of asking here. The grey gelding has contested a couple of competitive events the last twice and this slight drop in trip should suit and he is taken to get the better of Rainy City who finished runner-up on his only chase start last season with Tara Mist taken to finish third on her debut over fences.
  1. Baby Bach
  2. Rainy City
  3. Tara Mist
