Racing Partnership Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:50 | Winning time: 6m 27.5s

Imperial Nemesis¹⁸¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 102

9/2

Fair maiden hurdler/chaser with a bit of a hit-and-miss profile. Good second over fences at Doncaster in February but disappointed at Huntingdon the following month. Off since.

Form: 6P/642P-

Midnight Magic^t,v³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 98

9/2

Gained some reward for his consistency with a belated first success in a handicap chase at Wincanton last autumn. Creditable third at Uttoxeter in July but below-form fourth back there since.

Form: 2F5-534

Jack Snipe^b³¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Bryan Carver| T: R G Hawker| OR: 98| CD

5/1

Dual C&D scorer. Point winner in January. Third in handicap hurdle/chase since returning to Rules, shaping better than result (did too much too soon) at Uttoxeter latterly. Interesting.

Form: P121-33

Love The Leader^p¹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 11-8| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 94| D

12/1

Back to winning ways in conditionals handicap chase at Wincanton last autumn. Respectable fourth at Southwell on reappearance and could be sharper with that under his belt.

Form: 12246-4

Hurricane Arcadio¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: C Brace| T: M Blake| OR: 94

4/1

Has posted a couple of creditable placed efforts since resumption, latterly when third over 21f here. Respected under Connor Brace.

Form: 435P-23

Robin Of Sherwood^t1³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Lorcan Williams| T: D A Rees| OR: 91

33/1

Dual winner in points. Encouraging second of 8 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (19.5f, heavy) in January but needs to shrug off disappointing run on last month's course reappearance. Tongue tie added.

Form: 16352-9

Inspireus¹⁸⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Page Fuller| T: J W Mullins| OR: 83

14/1

Maiden over hurdles but opened his account at the second attempt over fences when dead-heating at Lingfield (heavy) in January. Pulled up at Exeter the following month and not seen since.

Form: 45441P-

The Late Legend^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Ben Jones| T: T H Weston| OR: 75

4/1

Maiden but was having just his second chase start when runner-up at Uttoxeter (22.5f) on reappearance. Step back up in trip ought to suit and remains relatively unexposed.

Form: 00695-2

Rivers End^v1¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Tom Buckley⁽³⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 74

33/1

Irish-point winner but yet to show anything under Rules, including a handicap chase (jumped poorly) last time. First-time visor needs to have a positive effect.

Form: 35-880P

Hurry Henry^v1¹⁸³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 72

200/1

One-time fair chaser for Henry de Bromhead but seems to retain little ability, pulling up at Plumpton when last seen in March. Visored first time on return.

Form: P86P/0P-

Bluebell Sally¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Houlihan| T: C J Gray| OR: 69

18/1

Offered little over hurdles last term but this point winner has shown more encouraging signs since chasing, third on 21f course return and set to be placed again when falling 3 out at Southwell.

Form: 4540-3F

Forecasts

The Late Legend (4/1), Hurricane Arcadio (4/1), Midnight Magic (9/2), Imperial Nemesis (9/2), Jack Snipe (5/1), Love The Leader (12/1), Inspireus (14/1), Bluebell Sally (18/1), Rivers End (33/1), Robin Of Sherwood (33/1), Hurry Henry (200/1)

JACK SNIPE went off a bit hard at Uttoxeter last month, shaping better than the result, and gets the nod at a venue where he's enjoyed success before. Hurricane Arcadio has posted a couple of creditable efforts since resumption and ought to figure again, while Bluebell Sally could also have a part to play if none the worse for a late spill at Southwell last time.
