Propiteer Investing Together Handicap Chase

Off time: 17:05 | Winning time: 5m 2.6s

Code Of Law^p⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Reed⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 96| C

10/1

Not the most consistent of performers and produced a laboured effort last time over a shorter trip here. Has won here twice though (never won elsewhere) and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him bounce back; not one to rely on.

Form: 3-P1P53

Turban¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Henderson| OR: 96

20/1

Plummeting down the weights and a light of his former self and usually throws in a blunder of two which doesn't help matters. Would have needed the run last time out but given his jumping frailties he's hard to recommend as a player.

Form: 5342-40

Spiritofchartwell⁵⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr P York⁽⁵⁾| T: P York| OR: 94| C

10/1

Knows his way around here well having won here three times although he's never been successful over this trip. Returns from a break at his favourite venue; shown to best effect off a strong gallop (often comes from well off the pace).

Form: 213-227

Ruby Russet^p,t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 84

14/1

Only modest over hurdles (still a maiden in that sphere) she didn't offer much when switched to chasing a few weeks ago at Newton Abbot over a longer trip than she faces here. Wasn't given a hard time there and drops in the handicap again.

Form: 237004

Celtic Thunder^p¹⁰³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 84

4/9

His form over fences in Ireland was modest enough and that was before he totally lost his way during last year. Pulled up when last seen under Rules; since been rejuvenated in point-to-points; interesting for a new yard who are good with such types.

Form: 5155U-1

Kahdian^t⁹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: B Barr| OR: 68

7/1

His Taunton 3rd from out of the handicap (7lb) remains his one standout piece of form and he's gone backwards from there in two starts since. Now with a new yard off the back of a break but others have more to offer even in this poor contest.

Form: P09/34-P

Forecasts

Celtic Thunder (4/9), Kahdian (7/1), Code Of Law (10/1), Spiritofchartwell (10/1), Ruby Russet (14/1), Turban (20/1)

One of the two career wins for Code Of Law came in this race last year but off a 7lb lower mark in a race that provided him with his first victory and he’s far from certain to be able to produce that same form here. Spiritofchartwell always seem to run well here and he’ll be dangerous in a strongly run race that he needs to show his best. Most of the others come with something to prove but CELTIC THUNDER can be given a chance having joined a very shrewd yard and looked better in himself since winning in point-to-points; the betting may well tell the story with him.
