ROA/Racing Post Owners' Jackpot Novices' Handicap Chase

Off time: 17:20 | Winning time: 5m 46.30s

Pulling Power^t⁴⁶⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-3| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott| OR: 112WS

14/1

Former Kim Bailey inmate who was hit and miss when last seen over hurdles. Has undergone wind surgery, makes her chasing bow and represents a new stable, all of which makes her an interesting contender.

Form: 04UP3/P-

Burrows Lane^p,t⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: B S Hughes| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 111

9/2

Remote third of five on chasing debut at Stratford. Should improve, is down 2lb and has a positive jockey booking. Each-way claims.

Form: 253-F43

Boss Mans Ladder^p⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: R P McLernon| T: B Pauling| OR: 107

9/1

Behind Burrows Lane when last of four finishers on his chasing bow at Stratford. Needs to show much more if he is to get involved at the business end.

Form: 81-4344

Hoke Colburn^p1,t1⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Bannister| T: B Barr| OR: 106

50/1

Bumper and hurdle winner for Harry Whittington, but was tailed off on his only start over fences at Bangor. Starts out for a new yard with something to prove.

Form: P16P-77

Master Sunrise^p³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: R Johnson| T: A Ralph| OR: 106

15/8

Off the mark over fences when winning under the champion jockey at Southwell on his latest outing. He retains the ride and this gelding can get involved again off 4lb higher.

Form: P3-4261

Hillary View^p¹⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 103

13/2

Point-to-point winner who landed a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las in February. Not seen since March, but is interesting on his chasing debut.

Form: 104616-

Gnarly²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Aidan Coleman| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 97

10/1

Not much to shout about in three maiden/novice hurdles. Early switch to fences, but her ability to prosper for the change of code has to be taken on trust.

Form: 3/8-53

Jennifer Juniper^p1⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Alain Cawley| T: F O'Brien| OR: 92

22/1

Has been struggling in hurdles this year and now tries her luck over fences with cheekpieces fitted for the first time. Showed some promise in a point-to-point so not without hope.

Form: 48P-34P

Cnoc Sion²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Charlie Hammond⁽⁵⁾| T: R Brotherton| OR: 90

100/1

Pulled up over hurdles on first run for this trainer following a long spell in point-to-point company. Unplaced in five starts over fences, so has plenty to prove.

Form: 11-4P6P

Mirs Choice^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss S L Bowen⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 88

15/2

Record of 0-7 over fences, but has not been totally without promise in three runs since joining this yard. Handicap mark is falling and she could run well at a decent price.

Form: 227736

Non-Runners

Lee Side Lady²⁸

Weight: 11-1| Age: 8

T: N P Mulholland J: R T Dunne

Forecasts

Master Sunrise (15/8), Burrows Lane (9/2), Hillary View (13/2), Mirs Choice (15/2), Boss Mans Ladder (9/1), Gnarly (10/1), Lee Side Lady (10/1), Pulling Power (14/1), Jennifer Juniper (22/1), Hoke Colburn (50/1), Cnoc Sion (100/1)

It is very hard to enthuse over many of these. Bottom-weight Mirs Choice could go well at rewarding odds and Pulling Power makes some appeal at the opposite end of the weights. However, the two who most catch the eye are recent Southwell winner Master Sunrise and chasing debutant HILARY VIEW. The selection is a winning pointer and would not need to be anything special over fences to land this prize.
