Agetur UK Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase

Off time: 20:00 | Winning time: 6m 11.30s

Water Wagtail^v³²

Age: 12| Weight: 12-0| J: Patrick Cowley⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 102| C

17/2

Generally runs well here and is at his best following a break. Fears the boat may have been missed given his latest run at Exeter when aided by a visor. Up 3lb with no guarantees he will back that up.

Form: 13R7/52-

Moorlands George^t¹³¹

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Kieron Edgar| T: J Scott| OR: 102| CD

20/1

Has been known to burst blood vessels and he now needs good ground to be seen at his best. Has course form and is 4lb below his last winning mark. Stable have taken a lot of money out of the ring in the last few months so one to note in the betting.

Form: 162/73P-

Royale Django^t,v²⁸⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlie Price⁽⁸⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 102| D

20/1

Going nowhere quickly at present and his jumping issues still remain, so is continually held back by that. Suspicion is there's a race in him when he gets it right, but this track is a tough test.

Form: PFP/754-

Ken's Well^p1,t¹²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 100

28/1

Made a promising chase debut at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in October 2017. Well below that level since and finished last of five on most recent start. Cheekpieces on this time.

Form: 214/775-

Danseur Du Large¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Rex Dingle| T: P Gundry| OR: 100| CD

9/4

Winning pointer who gained a first success under rules over C&D 16 days ago. Beat an in form rival that day and finished 19L clear of the third. Has the scope to defy a 9lb hike and a good conditional has been booked.

Form: PP5431-

A Tail Of Intrigue⁶⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: Stan Sheppard| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 99| D

20/1

Won a weak point-to-point in November prior to a good run in a military race at Sandown. Failed to back that up next time and he is without a win under rules since 2014.

Form: P/14640-

Definately Vinnie²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Lorcan Williams| T: Miss Jane Mathias| OR: 95

14/1

Winning hurdler who has jumped poorly on last couple of chase starts. Comfortably held last time and needs to rediscover his Chepstow form to have any worthwhile chance.

Form: 6P20U5-

Dont Be Robin^v¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 83

7/2

Landed some good bets to open his account when aided by a first-time visor. Up 5lb, but he raced off much higher marks over hurdles and has the services of young Jonjo to assist.

Form: 453U51-

The Last Bridge^p,t³¹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-8| J: R Patrick| T: Mrs S Johnson| OR: 82| CD

10/1

Front-running course specialist who appeared to be finding his right level on last couple of starts. Best on testing ground and could prove to be hard to pass if conditions deteriorate.

Form: P/P9742-

Midnight Mustang^p¹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 10-4| J: Max Kendrick| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 78| D

28/1

Both wins have come off today's mark but he has more than 15L to find with Dont Be Robin on latest Chepstow form.

Form: 155625-

The Boola Bee^h²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁸⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 77| D

9/1

Point-to-point winner has shown little under rules. Fourth of five finishers in a poor race last time and significant improvement required.

Form: 33PP74-

Culm Counsellor²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Bryony Frost| T: C J Down| OR: 74| D

18/1

Lightly raced since his last success in October 2017. Pulled up on last two starts and clearly remains beset by problems.

Form: P4/78PP-

Phoenix Rock²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: C Brace| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 71

16/1

Represents a top yard but she is yet to make the frame in 11 starts and she is 3lb out of the weights here.

Form: 4406S6-

Forecasts

Danseur Du Large (9/4), Dont Be Robin (7/2), Water Wagtail (17/2), The Boola Bee (9/1), The Last Bridge (10/1), Definately Vinnie (14/1), Phoenix Rock (16/1), Culm Counsellor (18/1), A Tail Of Intrigue (20/1), Moorlands George (20/1), Royale Django (20/1), Midnight Mustang (28/1), Ken's Well (28/1)

Rain would play into the hands of The Last Bridge and the overnight forecast is favourable for this track specialist. Danseur Du Large scored here last time and has scope to develop further, but good ground was a factor last time and any rain could count against him. DONT BE ROBIN is less ground dependant and the booking of Jonjo O'Neill Jr is akin to having a professional riding against conditionals. Now that connections have found the key to him he may be the one to follow in a race that will take little winning.
