Delface^b,t⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 107| CD

7/1

Best run for this yard came on his debut for them making all to win over C&D. Failed to add to that success in nine handicap starts since then and always looks vulnerable to an improver with the handicapper reluctant to ease his mark.

Silk Run¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: N de Boinville| T: T Lacey| OR: 105

8/1

From a very capable yard but doesn't really look as though she's improving with her handicap mark appearing to be a tough one for now. Maybe better off against her own sex rather than in open company in this sphere.

Form: 6674-23

Red Hot Chilly^h²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 103

5/1

Fair handicapper on the Flat for all that he remained a maiden in that sphere and showed some promise on his handicap hurdle debut last time over 2m (Uttoxeter). Left with plenty to do in slowly-run race and capable of more off this mark.

Form: 7U5/0-4

Mr Lando^t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: B S Hughes| T: J Farrelly| OR: 101| D

33/1

Likes to go from the front and showed those tactics to be working well when winning at Plumpton earlier in the year off 4lb lower. Not quite in the same form since though and makes only limited appeal here.

Form: 02214-9

Baron Von Chill^h,t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 101

5/2

A wind op, new trainer, first-time tongue tie were all catalysts for his career-best performance on his first start for this yard. Now 9lb higher this could prove harder and he has looked a little quirky in the past so not rock solid for a follow-up.

Form: 893UP-1

Marju's Quest^h²¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Aidan Coleman| T: A Wintle| OR: 100| D

25/1

Not seen since late last year when he looked as though he had bounced back to some sort of form going from the front as usual. However, his losing run stretches back over two years now and he's hard one to catch right.

Borak¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Robert Williams⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 99| CD

6/1

C&D winner who returned to form last time cashing in on a career-low mark to end a long losing run. Up 5lb for that he still remains on a good mark based on his old form but does face one or two here that might be better handicapped.

Form: 756/3-41

Mutoondresdashorse²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: S Bowen| T: N J Hawke| OR: 92

16/1

Fairly useful type on the Flat but he only really stayed 7f in that sphere and his stamina is limited for hurdling. Has shown some promise to a point over hurdles endurance is looking limited.

Form: 69-75

Jinsha Lake^t³²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 79| D

3/1

A mark that is 15lb below his last winning one has already attracted some market attention and hopes are pinned on that fact providing some redemption. Not seen for quite some while though and remains an unsafe proposition.

Form: 9PP0/97-

Forecasts

Baron Von Chill (5/2), Jinsha Lake (3/1), Red Hot Chilly (5/1), Borak (6/1), Rose Of Cimarron (6/1), Delface (7/1), Silk Run (8/1), Mutoondresdashorse (16/1), Marju's Quest (25/1), Mr Lando (33/1)

An interesting finale and many will be expecting the Skelton yard to strike again with Baron Von Chill although there must be some doubts as to whether all the elements that combined last time will work as well this time around. Borak will have his supporters off this mark after he ended his long losing run last time and the market support for Jinsha Lake has to be respected from a yard that do well here. RED HOT CHILLY is the one that appeals the most though having been given too much to do last time and off a mark which based on his Flat form looks very workable with the trip also looking far more suitable.
