Jeremy Kyle Josh Gifford Memorial Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:00 | Winning time: 5m 12.10s

Venetian Lad¹⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 99| CD

9/1

Veteran C&D winner who was not disgraced when fourth at Fontwell last time. Plenty to do off top weight, however, and others are preferred.

Form: 442P-34

Money For Nothing^b,t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Garry Lavery⁽⁷⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 94

6/1

Still looking for his first win after 26 starts, 16 of them over fences. Ran creditably at Southwell last time, but unlikely to end his losing run in this quite competitive event.

Form: P4-0843

Remember Forever¹⁹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: A Glassonbury| T: R Rowe| OR: 93| CD

4/1

Ended last season on a positive note with victories at Fontwell and over C&D. The handicapper has been quite sympathetic, but a bigger issue could be his fitness after a lay-off.

Form: 14PU11-

Mrs Burbidge^p,t⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: N D Fehily| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 92| D

4/1

Has won two of her last four starts over hurdles, including at Worcester last month. Reverts to chasing, but two previous tries over the bigger obstacles were not particularly encouraging. Represents respected connections, though, so not ruled out.

Form: 54113-1

Drumlang^p¹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: K Frost| OR: 85| D

11/2

Has reached the veteran stage, but showed he may still have a race in him when finishing second under today's jockey at Bangor last time. Likely to go well again.

Form: 845-272

Stoical Patient^v⁴¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 81

9/4

Only run for this yard saw her win a handicap chase at Fontwell in September, last year. Has been off the course since and is 10lb higher, and those factors weight against her.

Form: 50/PP01-

Killabraher Cross^p¹⁶²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Kielan Woods| T: P Butler| OR: 78| CD

25/1

Jumped poorly and eventually came a cropper on his last visit to this track in May. Has been given a break, and has questions to answer.

Form: 3P342-F

Non-Runners

Orchestrated¹⁶

Weight: 11-8| Age: 6

T: D G Bridgwater J: Callum McKinnes

Pretty Reckless²⁷

Weight: 11-4| Age: 4

T: D Skelton J: Harry Skelton

Forecasts

Stoical Patient (9/4), Pretty Reckless (3/1), Mrs Burbidge (4/1), Remember Forever (4/1), Drumlang (11/2), Orchestrated (6/1), Money For Nothing (6/1), Venetian Lad (9/1), Killabraher Cross (25/1)

Mrs Burbidge would be of interest if getting her act together over fences, while Bangor runner-up Drumlang and C&D winner Remember Forever need to be respected, but this could be fought out by Orchestrated and PRETTY RECKLESS. The latter jumped well when winning at Warwick last time and has scope for improvement. Stoical Patient is worth a market check on her return from a long absence.
