Champion Groundworks Handicap Chase

Off time: 19:30 | Winning time: 5m 9.5s

Not A Role Model²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: R Patrick⁽⁵⁾| T: S Thomas| OR: 115| BF| D

9/4

Arrives here in fine form having gone close to securing a double at Fontwell last time out. Edges up another 2lb in the weights but this should still be a workable mark, with further improvement possible.

Form: 4562-12

Lets Go Dutchess¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Conor Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: K Bishop| OR: 111| C

10/3

Far from disgraced on chase debut at Uttoxeter last time. Would certainly need another step forward here but on a similar mark and she's one for the shortlist.

Form: 1P5-F43

Highbury High^p,t²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Reed⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 110| D

16/1

Only a low-key reappearance at Fontwell last time out. Down 4lb and this is potentially easier, but others still appeal much more.

Form: 6216P-5

Charlie Papa Lima^t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Bannister| T: H Whittington| OR: 108| BF

6/1

Very disappointing at Huntingdon but pulled-up as if something were amiss and that wasn't his true running. Previous effort at Taunton would give him a chance here.

Form: 34552-P

Lucky Jim^p,t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: David Dennis| OR: 107

7/2

Only 1-19 over obstacles in his career so far, edging down the weights but proving tricky to win with, even on ground that he should enjoy.

Form: 5522/42

Mr Satco^p¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: R Johnson| T: C J Down| OR: 105| D

8/1

Yet to win a handicap chase (though has taken hunter/beginners' chases), and recent form over both hurdles and fences leaves him with plenty of work to do. Notable jockey booking, though.

Form: 1/28P-30

Theatre Mill^t³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 103

14/1

Losing run is starting to build up, and two heavy defeats so far this year mean he can't be recommended against some much more in-form rivals.

Form: 35868-7

Forecasts

Not A Role Model (9/4), Red Square Revival (3/1), Lets Go Dutchess (10/3), Lucky Jim (7/2), Charlie Papa Lima (6/1), Mr Satco (8/1), Theatre Mill (14/1), Highbury High (16/1)

Up just 4lb for winning at Market Rasen last time out the most interesting one here is RED SQUARE REVIVAL. With the extra couple of furlongs today set to suit he arrives here in excellent form, and did it nicely last time out, with the only mild concern his occasional habit of putting in a poor run. However if at his best he should be capable of getting the better of the similarly in-form Not A Role Model, who won at Fontwell last time, while Lets Go Dutchess ran a fair race on chase debut last time out.
