Off time: 14:35 | Winning time: 5m 18.60s

Takingitallin²⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 119| BF

7/2

Bumper/dual hurdles winner in the first half of 2019, was only seen three times in the latter half of that year. Disappointed when last seen in a Catterick handicap hurdle off this mark (started favourite), returns from absence with a bit to prove.

Demon D'Aunou²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 111

5/1

One hurdles win to his name on GB/hurdles debut in 2017 since when it's been mostly downhill in the handicap/form via a couple of wind ops and several absences. Well held on recent tenderly handled hurdles return, chase debut.

Form: 4/5457-9

Lough Salt¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: P Winks| OR: 109

7/1

Nearly took advantage of a reduced mark (without usual headgear) at Southwell (3m) on the back of a Flat pipe-opener for new yard. Up 4lb for that effort, yet to win over fences (0-11), runner-up six times since last win, risky but has experience.

Form: 244/77-2

Fresh New Dawn^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 108| D

13/2

Chasing newcomer, below-par on return last time over 2m5f but in a far from ideal scenario concerning track/trip. Ought to be capable off this mark but suspicion is that he may need a stiffer test of stamina around a speed track such as this.

Form: 5/1736-6

Well Said^h,t²⁴⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 104

50/1

Point-to-point winner whose chasing efforts under Rules leave a lot to be desired; pulled up when last seen in this sphere over 2m at Ludlow in testing conditions. Stable struggling for form (one winner all year), 0-28 since racing resumed.

Form: 961P/9P-

Whateva Next¹⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 103

17/2

Won sole point-to-point (Open maiden) at Guilsborough by 2L; prior to catching the eye a couple of times over hurdles particularly on his last run prior to handicap debut. Below-par on debut in that sphere, quickly switched to fences off an absence.

Form: 1/5750-

Paricolor^p,t¹⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 118

9/2

Fair hurdler, won two handicaps as a 3yo at Fakenham/Sedgefield over 2m before failing to complete a hat-trick, below-par when last seen (jumped poorly). Goes chasing with a significant weight allowance in usual headgear, should stay, interesting.

Form: 2F1138-

Colby^t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 99

5/1

One of two that this struggling yard run in this who remains a maiden after 14 career starts, this will be his chasing debut. Could have needed the run last time but hardly stands out as a well handicapped type, others present more persuasive cases.

Form: F820P-5

Some Ambition^t²³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: D R Fox| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 77

125/1

Poor maiden hurdler his form over fences is, if anything worse having shown nothing in four starts over the larger obstacles. Pulled up when last seen after a blunder his chance is impossible to countenance from 16lb out of the weights.

Form: 53565P-

Sussex Road^p⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: A Sadik| OR: 46

250/1

47lb out of the handicap, 0-52 over fences (0-13 around here) are figures that make his task an almost impossible one. Ran a typical race when last seen at Stratford beaten 45.5L, would be a surprise to see him start less than 100-1.

Form: 5456-07

Forecasts

Takingitallin (7/2), Paricolor (9/2), Demon D'Aunou (5/1), Colby (5/1), Fresh New Dawn (13/2), Lough Salt (7/1), Whateva Next (17/2), Well Said (50/1), Some Ambition (125/1), Sussex Road (250/1)

A sextet of chasing newcomers and the winner may well be amongst them in the shape of 4yo PARICOLOUR who beat his elders in a couple of handicap hurdles last year generally running well in that sphere. His trainer, David Pipe is 9-58 with this age group over fences in handicaps winning with his last debutant chasing 4yo Teaser. Fresh New Dawn is an interesting chasing newcomer although this track/trip looks sharp enough again for him. Lough Salt wasn’t beaten far at Southwell last time and has plenty of chasing experience with Takingitallin worthy of note, a break may have done her good. Whateva Next could do better in this sphere, smart chaser Idle Talk being his half-brother.
