Topsport Equisand Novices' Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:30 | Winning time: 3m 58.3s

Precious Bounty^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 112

6/1

Ran well when trying to make all on his chase debut at Ffos Las in May. Returned from a break at Stratford recently, when dropped back in trip and fading when challenged. Could be better for that run, and looks a player.

Form: 250-625

Lucky Robin³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: B Ellison| OR: 103| D

5/6

Returns to this sphere after hurdles wins at Market Rasen and Perth on his last two starts. Looks well treated over fences now, if able to transfer that form back to this sphere. Interesting.

Form: 444-511

Isaac Wonder¹¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Brendan Powell| T: M Scudamore| OR: 115| BF

7/2

Came down when in front two out on his most recent hurdles run. Has been placed several times in that sphere. Makes chase and also handicap debut here, and it will be a commendable effort if he can prevail.

Form: 25522-F

Mac Cennetig^p⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Billy Garritty⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 82

4/1

0-22 over hurdles. Scored on chase debut at Market Rasen in July (2m1f, good), for which he has gone up 8lb. Unexposed as a chaser, but this looks tougher.

Form: 536-331

Forecasts

Lucky Robin (5/6), Isaac Wonder (7/2), Mac Cennetig (4/1), Precious Bounty (6/1)

Lucky Robin looks potentially very well treated back over fences, but he does still have to transfer his good hurdles form to this discipline. Therefore, the suggestion is PRECIOUS BOUNTY, who has usually been better for a run after a break, so may do better than his most recent run. Isaac Wonder may be the pick of the other pair.
