Sun Trade Windows Handicap Chase

Off time: 13:11 | Winning time: 6m 47.1s

Sutter's Mill^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 102| D

14/1

Ground versatile performer again ran well when landing a 3m2f Fontwell contest before third at Sedgefield latest. Run well here in the past and stamina a boost on this ground. Will go well under welter burden.

Form: 8P2-P13

Sonoftheking^p,t³⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Matt Griffiths| T: Nicky Martin| OR: 99| D

12/1

Two years since his third and most recent success over fences. Certainly back at a dangerous mark now but not getting any younger so ultimately likely come up short once more.

Form: 44/465-3

Sergeant Brody^p,t²²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁵⁾| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 99| D

10/1

Point-to-point winner a maiden under Rules. Plugged on for fourth here latest but Sutter's Mill was second in the same race and that rival ought to again have his measure here.

Form: 8/6P364-

Kilcrea Bridge^p,t²¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: R T Dunne| T: R G Hawker| OR: 98| DWS

7/2

Exeter win came on heavy but form late last season took a notable downturn. Had wind surgery during his summer break and well handicapped enough to go well if that has a transformative effect; market a useful guide today.

De Bene Esse^t⁵⁷⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: D A Rees| OR: 96| C| D

10/1

Heavy ground winner here over hurdles has also won over fences in the past. Not seen for 574 days and therefore best watched in first start for new yard.

Form: 4831P7/

Cruising Bye^t,v⁶⁷

Age: 13| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 95| C| D

18/1

Course winner way back in 2013 but wins these days becoming ever more scarce at the age of 13 and having been well held throughout the summer he is again of little appeal here.

Form: 226634

Heavenly Promise²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 93| D

3/1

Better than ever since joining this yard and bids for a hat-trick after wins at Sedgefield (2m5f) and Uttoxeter (2m4f). Won twice over 3m in the past and enjoys testing ground so everything suggests her the one to beat here.

Form: UP3211

Misty Mai²⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Adam Wedge| T: D A Rees| OR: 92| C| D

15/2

Dual chase winner most recently at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in March last year. Out of form since however and pulled up a long way out when last seen in March this year.

Form: 64654P-

Onurbike^p,t³⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: Lee Edwards| T: J G O'Neill| OR: 88| D

10/1

Off the mark at the 16th time of asking at Chepstow (3m2f) before following up at Bangor (3m) and Uttoxeter (3m). Obviously thriving at this age (lightly raced) and a leading contender again today.

Form: PP51-11

Way Of The World¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 74

8/1

1-20 over hurdles and yet to make the frame in four chase races. Feather weight here but up against it on all known form.

Form: 7433-56

Forecasts

Heavenly Promise (3/1), Kilcrea Bridge (7/2), Misty Mai (15/2), Way Of The World (8/1), Sergeant Brody (10/1), Onurbike (10/1), De Bene Esse (10/1), Sonoftheking (12/1), Sutter's Mill (14/1), Cruising Bye (18/1)

Hat-trick seeking HEAVENLY PROMISE and four-timer seeking Onurbike look far and away the most likely here with the former preferred given that she has been winning over shorter distances despite being proven over 3m. Top-weight Sutter's Mill rarely runs a bad race so he looks best of the rest.
