BJ Llewellyn Supports tenovuscancercare.org.uk Handicap

Off time: 16:01 | Winning time: 3m 28.90s

(1)

Mountain Rock³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: M Dwyer| T: Ian Williams| OR: 65| D

6/1

Tried over hurdles twice since switching yards but back on the Flat at a reasonable level and potentially still on a handy mark. Worth monitoring closely in the betting.

Form: 420/450-

(4)

Love To Breeze^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 65

6/1

Ran well when tried over 2m at Lingfield on her penultimate start but didn't recover when hampered last time and that run can be forgiven. Unexposed at the trip and is another to keep close tabs on in the betting market.

Form: 2364-30

(3)

Agent Gibbs^p⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: S W Kelly| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 63| C

9/1

Has to prove his stamina over this trip but ran well at Bath earlier in the month and is potentially well treated from a 2lb lower mark. More rain would help his cause.

Form: 507852

(9)

Norab^b¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: S Donohoe| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 62

25/1

Not too badly treated at present but needs to up the ante after being well held on his return from an absence earlier this month.

Form: 38456/6

(8)

Seasearch^b1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 61| BF

7/1

Wears blinkers instead of the usual cheekpieces but is unexposed on turf and might have more to offer. Needs to better recent AW efforts but is only 2lb above his last winning mark. Place claims if he responds to the headgear.

Form: 310433

(10)

Daghash⁶⁴⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: W S Kittow| OR: 60| D

20/1

Has a long absence to overcome and needs to reestablish his reputation after posting poor form when last seen. Hard to recommend this time.

Form: 366778/

(6)

Master Grey¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 60| BF

11/4

Well backed last time but ran out of time when delivering his effort. The step up to two miles can help this time; on a handy mark but might need more rain to get into the ground than he'll encounter if the weather predictions are correct.

Form: 3258-05

(12)

Panatos¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 60| CD

7/2

Went up just 3lb for his C&D win at the start of this month and has to merit an interest given the convincing manner of that success; unexposed at the trip and could be hard to deal with in this modest company.

Form: 5-47741

(5)

Mustaaqeem^b¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Liam Keniry| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 57

16/1

Ran well behind Pantos last time and has a chance of getting closer from a 3lb lower mark. Still faces a tough ask to reverse the form.

Form: 45700-5

(13)

Tilsworth Sammy¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 51

20/1

Raced only once before on turf and was well beaten at Salisbury at the start of this month. Plenty to prove.

Form: 64-5829

(11)

Aristocracy^b¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Liam Jones| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 50| C| D

50/1

Reverts to the Flat after enduring a torrid time over hurdles; has been placed over C&D but that was a low key event and he lost his way soon afterwards.

Form: 6664/20-

Forecasts

Master Grey (11/4), Panatos (7/2), Love To Breeze (6/1), Mountain Rock (6/1), Seasearch (7/1), Agent Gibbs (9/1), Mustaaqeem (16/1), Daghash (20/1), Tilsworth Sammy (20/1), Norab (25/1), Georgian Firebird (25/1), Aristocracy (50/1), Zenafire (50/1)

PANATOS made every yard here last time and, from just a 3lb higher mark, can strike another blow whilst he remains in good heart. Mountain Rock is on a handy mark and can give the selection a tough time, while Mustaaqeem was no match for Pantos last time but can potentially get closer as he's now better off at the weights. Love To Breeze is unexposed at the trip and is worth noting in the betting for each-way support.
