Off time: 14:40 | Winning time: 4m 11.9s

Red Riverman^p⁴⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Tom Humphries⁽⁸⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 119| D

9/1

Successful four times from 15 starts over fences most recently at Stratford (2m1f, good-to-soft) in July. Disappointed last time out and races off a mark just 2lb higher than for that Stratford success.

Form: 211325

Old Salt²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 117| D

8/1

Maiden hurdle winner at Ludlow (2m, soft) 13 months ago but disappointed on chase debut on heavy ground last time out. Market likely to provide the best guide as to expectations on handicap debut.

Form: 15435-P

Bally Gilbert^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 117

3/1

Placed three times from seven starts under rules including when finishing third in a first time tongue tie (retained) at Sandown (good-to-soft) last time. Races off the same mark today.

Form: 852P-83

Bagging Turf^p²⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: William Clarke⁽¹⁰⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 115

9/2

Successful on chase debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good-to-soft) last December. Put a couple of non-completions behind her when finishing runner-up over the same C&D in April and has gone well fresh in the past.

Form: 14/1FP2-

Exmoor Mist^b1,t⁵⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: C Gethings| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 115| CD

14/1

Course winner in the past but disappointing in four starts since finishing runner-up over an extended 2m2f here in March last year. Handicap mark is falling as a result and he wears blinkers for the first time today.

Form: U2P/7P-9

Whispering Harry¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 112| CD

6/1

Placed off a 3lb higher mark over hurdles 12 months ago but disappointing since and was an early casualty on soft ground at Bangor earlier this month.

Form: 3P6P-7U

Here I Am¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Sherwood| T: Mrs D Grissell| OR: 105

25/1

Winner over an extended 2m1f at Fontwell (soft) in April last year but well held on return from over 18 months off the track at Sandown earlier this month and others make more appeal.

Form: 3121/5-7

Lake Field³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: M Hamill⁽³⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 104| D

7/2

Successful over hurdles in Ireland and ran well on chase and stable debut when 4L second at Lingfield (2m4f, soft) last month. Races off a 4lb higher mark today and interesting to see how he fares today.

Form: 585/00-2

Non-Runners

Ramonex²⁶

Weight: 11-12| Age: 6

T: R Hobson J: Jack Savage

Born To Size⁶⁹

Weight: 11-5| Age: 5

T: R Woollacott J: Bryony Frost

Forecasts

Bally Gilbert (3/1), Lake Field (7/2), Born To Size (4/1), Bagging Turf (9/2), Whispering Harry (6/1), Ramonex (7/1), Old Salt (8/1), Red Riverman (9/1), Exmoor Mist (14/1), Here I Am (25/1)

BAGGING TURF won on her first outing of last season and she can repeat that in this conditional jockeys handicap chase. The selection ran well off a 1lb higher mark on her final start of last season and can get the better of top weight Ramonex who is making his handicap debut today. Born To Size was a winner last time out and can claim third on his debut for this yard.
