Off time: 20:02 | Winning time: 4m 45.20s

Undefined Beauty^t1²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Fergus Gregory⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 112| D

8/1

Not suited by the way the race was run on her return from a six-month break at Cartmel last time although she needed to settle better. Won twice last autumn off a 5lb lower mark; now tongue-tied for the first-time.

Form: 11322-4

Handsome Dan^p⁷⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 11-5| J: R Patrick⁽⁵⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 110| CD

9/1

Dual course winner with one of those victories coming over C&D he ran a rare poor race here last time in first-time cheekpieces (retained now). Dropped a further 5lb for that effort he's back below his last winning mark; has something to prove.

Form: 4P/26-07

Lucky Robin¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny Cook| T: B Ellison| OR: 110| CD

2/1

Has looked progressive and much improved for this yard having shown up well in a novice before winning on handicap debut over C&D. Handicapper has given him a 10lb rise for that romp and that will make life tougher here.

Form: 9900-21

Gran Maestro^b¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Ryan Winks⁽⁵⁾| T: P Winks| OR: 109| C| D

9/1

Slips back down to his last successful mark but questionable if he's in the same form now having struggled over hurdles of late. A return to a course where he's run well before may help but not one to rely on of late.

Form: 16-3475

Knight Commander^b1,t1²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 108

7/1

Started off well for this yard last summer winning his first two starts off lower marks than he competes off here. Has been seen in a good light since despite not winning although a fall two starts ago has rather left a mark of late.

Form: 3244-F3

Fleeting Visit^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 108| BF

9/2

Nicely weighted on his decent Flat form (rated in the mid 80's) although he only won one race on the level. Hasn't so far clicked over the smaller obstacles and fell on his handicap debut last time; dangerous if he did put things together.

Form: 533F

Nicely Indeed¹⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: P A Kirby| OR: 107

12/1

Dual bumper winner there was some promise in his early hurdles runs for his former yard. Has on occasions shaped with promise for this yard but his last two runs were below-par; back from a break with questions to answer.

Form: 25848P-

Chieftain's Choice^b1¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: K Frost| OR: 107| D

6/1

Easing down the handicap and he's going to be on a mark where he has to take advantage son given what he's been capable of in the past. Blinkers (first-time) now given a try and he's one to watch in the market; showed up well last time.

Form: 2300-67

Presenting Streak^t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: P Winks| OR: 105| D

25/1

Promising sort in the past but missed the whole of 2017 and pulled-up when last seen running no sort of race at all. Stretching the imagination to see him winning in this on his current wellbeing.

Form: 3112P/P

Forecasts

Lucky Robin (2/1), Fleeting Visit (9/2), Chieftain's Choice (6/1), Knight Commander (7/1), Undefined Beauty (8/1), Handsome Dan (9/1), Gran Maestro (9/1), Nicely Indeed (12/1), Presenting Streak (25/1)

Once again there are a few well handicapped individuals in this not least CHIEFTAIN'S CHOICE who is becoming hard to ignore off this mark having been successful and run well off much higher marks in the past. Lucky Robin looks to have taken on a new lease of life for the Ellison yard but will find this tougher off a 10lb higher mark. Fleeting Visit is another one who would be dangerous if he did put everything together given his Flat exploits while the Olly Murphy pair Undefined Beauty and Knight Commander have the ability to win a contest such as this.
