Jigsaw Sports Branding Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:20 | Winning time: 6m 21.10s

Dotties Dilema^b,t¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-3| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 112| CD

8/1

Been running well this summer and put in just about a career best back over fences when winning narrowly at Cartmel 11 days ago. 6lb higher here which makes life a lot tougher. Yard won this race two years ago.

Form: 51-6241

Hoke Colburn^p,t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: B Barr| OR: 107| C

14/1

Won a handicap hurdle here back in November but form tailed off somewhat after. Much more encouragement when second on debut for this yard at Bangor three weeks ago and is fairly handicapped if able to build on that now.

Form: 16P-772

Doitforjoe^p,t³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: David Dennis| OR: 107| CD

50/1

Seems to have lost all confidence of late having fallen twice and then putting in a real weak effort at Newton Abbot last time. Given a month off and needs to bounce back to his best to have any kind of say here.

Form: 1P-8FFP

Master Sunrise^p²¹

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

3/1

Front-runner who won here over C&D two starts back off a 4lb lower mark. Couldn't follow-up at Worcester next time when racing lazily throughout. Return to this track should suit and Richard Johnson keeps the faith so a leading contender again.

Form: 3-42613

Mr Mafia⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Stock⁽⁵⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 106| BF| C

3/1

Been a revelation since joining this yard having won four on the bounce over hurdles. Jumping let him down in the bid for the five timer and now reverts back to fences off a much lower mark. Very dangerous if his jumping holds up.

Form: 5-11113

Copperfacejack^p⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: G Sheehan| T: P R Webber| OR: 106| D

8/1

Higher in the weights this year due to back-to-back wins at the back-end of 2017. Last two efforts have not been good and prefers to go right-handed. Richard Johnson prefers Master Sunrise.

Form: 1132-45

Not For You⁴⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: K J Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: C Byrnes| OR: 105

8/1

Off the mark at the 18th attempt over fences when winning over an extended 2m4f at Killarney (good) recently. Races off an 8lb higher mark here which is largely negated by young riders claim. Market check very much advised for shrewd yard.

Form: 4/2-F715

Ballycamp^t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: L P Aspell| T: C T Pogson| OR: 105| D

12/1

Keen-going sort who is slowly falling down the weights. Ran in his weakest race for a while at Market Rasen last time so disappointing that he couldn't do better. Goes up in trip now and should be capable of being competitive off this mark.

Form: 3-33636

Butlergrove King^t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: R T Dunne| T: D Burchell| OR: 99| D

8/1

Looked in need of the run when getting tired late on at Newton Abbot last time. That was his first start for well over a year so he should come on for it. Only 3lb higher than when winning at Ffos Las last summer so has claims of being involved.

Form: 34/312-4

Packettotherafters^p⁷⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 90

14/1

Winner on good ground last August at Bangor. Perfomances have been very hit and miss since and returned from another long absence with a weak display at Uttoxeter last time. May find a few of these too sharp.

Form: P3F/2P-P

That's The Deal⁹⁶

Age: 14| Weight: 10-5| J: Benjamin Poste| T: J R Cornwall| OR: 86| C| D

125/1

Won nine times in his career but has been struggling to land a blow this summer. Mark is slipping but may struggle to fend off plenty of younger legs in this.

Form: 6P7-355

Non-Runners

Boss Mans Ladder²¹

Weight: 11-10| Age: 6

T: B Pauling J: R P McLernon

Forecasts

Mr Mafia (3/1), Master Sunrise (3/1), Dotties Dilema (8/1), Butlergrove King (8/1), Copperfacejack (8/1), Not For You (8/1), Ballycamp (12/1), Packettotherafters (14/1), Hoke Colburn (14/1), Boss Mans Ladder (16/1), Doitforjoe (50/1), That's The Deal (125/1)

Any money for Irish-raider Not For You should be noted for his shrewd handler. Richard Johnson keeps the faith with Master Sunrise and a return to this venue should suit him. Ready preference though is for MR MAFIA who has been in cracking form over hurdles and is looking to exploit a much lower chase mark here. If he jumps well, he'll be very hard to beat.
