Price & Kelway Solicitors Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:28 | Winning time: 5m 27.7s

Maguire's Glen⁷³

Age: 10| Weight: 12-1| J: M Hamill⁽⁵⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 112

9/4

Won off a lower mark than this over fences when trained in Ireland, though has mostly been running over hurdles since with mixed amounts of success. Shouldn't mind the ground but this trip would be a minimum for him.

Form: 1P732P

Market Road^t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 109| C| D

9/4

Handicapper looked to be getting on top when he was fourth at Chepstow last time off this mark, though he had been progressing prior to that and this is potentially an easier race.

Form: 1F3114

Bredon Hill Lad^p,t¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: Lucy Gardner⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 108| C

7/1

Recorded back-to-back victories at the end of last year, including at this course (though over shorter). Has struggled twice since off a higher mark, but has been dropped 2lb now.

Form: 14-11P3

Cawdor House Bert⁴²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: D A Rees| OR: 97| CD

2/1

Narrow C&D winner last time out and has gone up 3lb for that victory. This should be very similar ground in a similar sized field, so he should run well again.

Form: 3/PP2P-1

Spock¹⁰

Age: 13| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss L Brooke⁽⁷⁾| T: Lady S Brooke| OR: 93

16/1

Back down to his most recent winning mark, but is getting on now and tough to fancy off the back of two efforts since.

Form: 021534

Forecasts

Cawdor House Bert (2/1), Maguire's Glen (9/4), Market Road (9/4), Bredon Hill Lad (7/1), Spock (16/1)

Market Road had been in good form recently, but may now be a little too high in the weights, while Maguire's Glen would have a chance here on his best form (and returns here after a spell over hurdles). Preference is for CAWDOR HOUSE BERT. A narrow winner here last time he's 3lb higher now, but has conditions to suit and probably has the least questions to answer of any of those lining up here.
