Kim Bailey Racing Handicap Chase

Off time: 16:30 | Winning time: 6m 29.29s

Master Card²¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-3| J: Adrian Heskin| T: W Greatrex| OR: 117

10/1

Fair form when placed twice over hurdles and shaping up okay over fences prior to ploughing through one and falling at Huntingdon (23.6f) in February. Should do better in this sphere.

Form: 4203P/F-

Classic Escape^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: S Bowen| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 112

5/2

Fair hurdles winner in Ireland who ran below that level when third on chasing bow at Market Rasen (21.4f) in August. No surprise to see headgear refitted and he remains with potential over fences.

Form: 08P4-23

Mrs Miggins^p,t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 110

5/1

Fair 20f winning hurdler who ended last season under a cloud but in process of running well prior to falling on return/chase debut at Newton Abbot last month (would have finished third).

Form: 6/124P-F

Miami Present^p¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Adam Wedge| T: W Bethell| OR: 109| CD

15/2

Progressive over fences in 2017, winning 3 times, but pulled up both starts upon returning from a lengthy absence this summer. Would need to see more before becoming of interest.

Form: 1412/PP

Lough Salt³⁹

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

3/1

Infrequent hurdles winner who remains winless over fences but has shaped well to be placed in handicaps over C&D/Cartmel in recent weeks. Each-way claims once more.

Form: 44/77-23

Stowaway Magic^t¹⁷⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 107| D

16/1

Useful hurdler/chaser at his best for Dan Skelton but lost his way last term and change of scenery has failed to spark a revival over either set of obstacles, latterly at Fakenham in March.

Form: 764/404-

Day Of Roses^p¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: Henry Brooke| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 96| D

15/2

Veteran, multiple chase winner who ran well in first-time cheekpieces when third at Uttoxeter (22.5f) 17 days ago. Now operating 3 lb below last winning mark so another good showing not ruled out.

Form: 235-563

Mister Mister^t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: D L Williams| OR: 82| D

18/1

Dual winner of lowly handicaps in 2018/19 and ended last year with a respectable second at Stratford. Predictably made little impact from out the weights on return last month and this tough again.

Form: 11/842-P

Non-Runners

Orchestrated³⁶⁵

Weight: 10-12| Age: 9

T: Lady S Brooke J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Classic Escape (5/2), Lough Salt (3/1), Orchestrated (4/1), Mrs Miggins (5/1), Miami Present (15/2), Day Of Roses (15/2), Master Card (10/1), Stowaway Magic (16/1), Mister Mister (18/1)

CLASSIC ESCAPE ran strictly below his hurdles form when third on chase debut at Market Rasen last month. However, he's in excellent hands and, refitted with cheekpieces, it would come as no surprise to see an improved showing now. Master Card, on return to action, Mrs Miggins and Day of Roses head up the dangers in that order.
