Turner Trophy 'Grassroots' Hunters' Chase

Off time: 16:45 | Winning time: 6m 33.60s

Master Workman^p¹⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 12-8| J: Mr D Peters⁽⁷⁾| T: D Kemp| OR: 111| CD

3/1

Made all to win this race 12 months ago and has won an Open race at Higham (good) since. Beaten by a prolific winner in a point-to-point here last time and he is one to note in this contest.

Form: 18PP12-

Treat Yourself¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 12-4| J: Mr Richard Collinson⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss M Bentham| OR: 100

13/2

Put a disappointing point-to-point debut behind him when finishing 1L second to Port Melon in a hunter chase at Kempton (good) last time out. Interesting if repeating that effort.

Form: 14/54P2-

Bound For Glory^t²⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Hannah Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: D Fitch-Peyton| OR: 100| D

2/1

Hunter chase winner and won his fifth point-to-point when scoring at Cottenham (good) in early December. Ran well in the Aintree Foxhunters last time and he is one for the shortlist.

Form: 252136-

Can Mestret⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: S Andrews| OR: 102| CD

5/1

Looked the most likely winner when left clear in a match at Garthorpe (soft) last time out. Best hunter chase form has come over shorter than today's trip however.

Form: 21152-1

Caulkin¹⁶

Age: 15| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss A Peck⁽⁷⁾| T: J Whyte| OR: 105| CD

100/1

Well held third behind One Fine Morning in April and finished well beaten in a point-to-point here last time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 3FPU/35-

One Fine Morning³¹

Age: 12| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Charles Clover⁽⁷⁾| T: Tom Clover| OR: 97| D

7/1

Winner of his last two starts under this jockey including at Higham (good) in a point-to-point last month. Ground and trip both in his favour and he looks likely to run well once more.

Form: 603211-

Paddy The Stout^t¹⁷

Age: 13| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr L Humphrey⁽⁷⁾| T: L Humphrey| OR: 90

125/1

Ended a run of three non-completions when finishing third of four in a good ground point-to-point last time. Looks up against on this occasion.

Form: P6PUP3-

Sand Blast^p,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Carey Williamson⁽³⁾| T: B Dowling| OR: 112

20/1

Rated 118 at his best under rules but disappointing since switching to point-to-points and was a faller on good ground here last time out.

Form: 45P32F-

Strollawaynow⁵⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Benedict Shaw⁽⁷⁾| T: D W P Arbuthnot| OR: 93| D

12/1

Dual point-to-point winner last season and finished runner-up in a four runner hunter chase at Towcester (heavy) last time out. More needed here however.

Form: 13/1PU2-

Forecasts

Bound For Glory (2/1), Master Workman (3/1), Can Mestret (5/1), Treat Yourself (13/2), One Fine Morning (7/1), Strollawaynow (12/1), Sand Blast (20/1), Caulkin (100/1), Paddy The Stout (125/1)

ONE FINE MORNING can complete a hat-trick by taking this competitive looking hunter chase. The selection has the trip and ground to suit here and he can get the better of Bound For Glory who ran well at Aintree last time out while Kempton second Treat Yourself can finish third this time.
