Bet With Ron Wadey Handicap Chase

Off time: 16:20 | Winning time: 6m 29.9s

Proud Gamble^t³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin| OR: 95

13/2

Had a very successful time for one of his ability in 2016 when wining four times but has been lightly raced since and unable to reach those heights again. Well handicapped on old form but offered little over C&D last time.

Form: 13134/P

Little Windmill^p,t⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Bryony Frost⁽³⁾| T: N B King| OR: 94

7/2

Has been successful on a higher mark in the past but that was under very different conditions than he will face today. His effort since that win have been underwhelming for the most part (better last time; first run since wind op).

Form: P2P5-64

Pena Dorada^p³²⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: Rachel McDonald⁽⁵⁾| T: A C Whillans| OR: 94| CD

11/1

C&D winner on a couple of occasions under today's rider off much higher marks on both occasions. Those wins came back in 2015 though and form since has been very in-and-out; returns from a long absence (best watched).

Form: 424/48P-

Damiens Dilemma^p1²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Coltherd⁽⁵⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 87

4/1

Has a record of 6/18 in point-to-points and returned from that sphere to run respectably at Kelso in a hunter chase in May. Outclassed last time out this looks a more suitable test; 10lb below his last winning Rules mark.

Form: 78P-F46

Whos De Baby^b³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: David Bass| T: S-J Davies| OR: 87

8/1

Front-runner who tends to sulk if he doesn't get his own way in the lead. Has run two moderate races since returning from a break; 3lb below last winning mark but overall one that is rather hard to trust.

Form: 3P26-43

Lottolove^t²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: A E Lynch| T: C O'Connell| OR: 85

16/1

Poor form over hurdles and fences under Rules but she has won in point-to-points and finished third in her most recent outing. Struggled off lower marks than this before though under Rules and hard to fashion a case for her.

Form: P5P-213

Amuse Me^p,t⁴⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-1| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: L Egerton| OR: 84

40/1

Last two starts have confirmed that he's struggling for form of late even off this much reduced mark. Makes little appeal here with most of the field needing to falter for him to make an impression.

Form: 6762-08

Inchcolm¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 82

5/2

Did a lot wrong when scoring at Hexham on his penultimate start but did show some battling qualities he had not been associated with before. Surprisingly showed some consistency when 3rd next time but still hard to rely on.

Form: P23P-13

Forecasts

Inchcolm (5/2), Dartford Warbler (3/1), Little Windmill (7/2), Damiens Dilemma (4/1), Proud Gamble (13/2), Whos De Baby (8/1), Miss Biscotti (8/1), News For Pascal (10/1), Pena Dorada (11/1), Lottolove (16/1), Amuse Me (40/1)

Not a bunch that you would want to put your life savings on with solid options hard to find and a chance is taken that MISS BISCOTTI can build on her last run here where she stayed on well to pick up the pieces; a more positive ride may see her go one better. Both Dartford Warbler and Inchcolm are recent winners who can perform if they have a going day although those can be few and far between and neither can be relied on. Damiens Dilemma is well handicapped on some of his form and can be given a chance in a weak heat.
