Devondale Electrical Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:40 | Winning time: 6m 37.40s

Fair Exchange^p²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 127

20/1

Possible his latest run came too soon but even his best form gives him a lot do in this company off topweight.

Form: 12P32P

Scoop The Pot^t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 125

3/1

Produced his best effort over fences in a stronger race than this last time. Still has plenty to learn but his hurdling form shows he is well-handicapped if he continues to progress.

Form: 13-32P4

Aunty Ann²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁷⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 125| C

9/2

Harshly treated for a Uttoxeter race where the race fell apart and duly failed to land a blow last time.Sound jumper who will need many of these to falter if she is to repeat the stable's success in this 12 months ago.

Form: 35-3215

Exxaro^b²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: T Scudamore| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 125| D

14/1

Took advantage of a drop in class, a strong gallop and a good mark to open his account over fences. Has had his limitations exposed since and he remains vulnerable off his current mark.

Form: 441323

Sporting Boy^b,t¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Farrelly| OR: 122| C

10/1

Came good over fences last autumn from a similar mark. More recent chasing exploits make him hard to fancy.

Form: 6U9029

Calin Du Brizais^b²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 117| CD

16/1

Has shown a devilish attitude on last two starts (too keen on penultimate run and too lazy last time). His winning form, including two C&D victories, has come in lesser company and he was tailed off in this 12 months ago.

Form: 4-42U44

Allez Jacques⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 116

11/1

Looked held in third when falling at the last on chase debut. That form has not worked out and he carries a stamina doubt.

Form: 2373-4F

Kings Temptation^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: B I Case| OR: 111

5/1

Gained his only success under this rider at Huntingdon. Closely matched with Mercers Court on Fontwell form but the winner gave the impression he had plenty left.

Form: 82-1F32

Moorlands George^t¹⁵²

8/1

Very lightly-raced of late and only seen twice since winning scoring over C&D in October 2016 and didn't run badly when last seen in April. Now back from a wind op off a feasible mark if ready.

Form: 27316/2-

Top Chief^p,t²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Angus Cheleda⁽¹⁰⁾| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 99| C

6/1

Has shaped well under this rider on his last two visits here, but he faces much stronger company this time and may find things happening too quickly.

Form: 141422

Forecasts

Scoop The Pot (3/1), Aunty Ann (9/2), Kings Temptation (5/1), Mercers Court (5/1), Top Chief (6/1), Moorlands George (8/1), Sporting Boy (10/1), Allez Jacques (11/1), Exxaro (14/1), Calin Du Brizais (16/1), Fair Exchange (20/1)

Mercers Court will have his supporters in his hat-trick bid and he should again account for King's Temptation. However, SCOOP THE POT ran well in a much better race than this last time and will take all the beating if learning from the experience. Moorlands George and Calin Du Brizais both like it around here and make more appeal than Aunty Ann and Exxaro who are badly handicapped.
