Thank You Pipers Crisps Handicap Chase

Off time: 13:36 | Winning time: 6m 14.7s

Royal Magic^p,t⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: S Thomas| OR: 109

5/1

Produced a terrific round of jumping when resuming winning ways at Newton Abbot last weekend, clearly benefiting from the step up to 25.8f. 4 lb rise fair and he needs considering.

Form: 1FP-551

Miami Present^p²³

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: W Bethell| OR: 107| C| D

10/1

Pulled up first 2 starts following a lengthy absence, but better effort when second over 24.3f at Southwell (reportedly suffered post-race heat stress) last time. Now 2 lb lower and not discounted.

Form: 412/PP2

Waitonit⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 103| D

9/4

Left hurdling form well behind when making a winning chase debut at Southwell (24.3f). Will need to brush up in the jumping department, but he clearly has an engine and 6 lb rise looks manageable.

Form: 75464-1

Ballycrystal Court^b1,t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 102| C

22/1

Winner of 21.4f handicap chase here last summer. However, things haven't gone to plan since, pulled up on 2 of his last 3 starts, and hopes pinned on first-time blinkers sparking a revival.

Form: 659P-3P

Do You Know What^p³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 102| D

11/4

Fairly progressive over hurdles last year and went close upped to 20.3f on third attempt over fences at Bangor. This former point winner should benefit from going up in trip and she's a major player.

Form: 1224-62

Aughnacurra King^t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 97| D

7/1

Successful between the flags early last year, but hasn't shown a great deal under Rules thus far, including when sixth on recent chase debut at Fontwell.

Form: 32P-346

High Counsel^p¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: Miss Immy Robinson⁽⁷⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 97| D

50/1

Improved when winning 3 on the bounce last winter, but form dipped badly thereafter and he plenty to prove now.

Form: 1PP-579

Game Line^b1⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 90| D

10/1

Notched 3 wins last summer, in this sphere and over hurdles. However, he's shown little in 2 starts since returning from a break and first-time blinkers will needs to help perk him up here.

Form: 185P-8P

Picknick Park^p¹⁹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: N Kent| OR: 87| C

28/1

Improved from out of the blue when belatedly opening his account in 21.4f handicap chase here in February. Not disgraced back at this course the following month and each-way chance if fully tuned-up.

Form: 343P14-

Mister Mister^v²³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: D L Williams| OR: 82| D

40/1

Dual winner of lowly handicaps in 2018/19, most recently off this mark at Plumpton last spring. Has shown nothing in 2 starts this year, though, and visor back on here.

Form: 1/842-PP

Forecasts

Waitonit (9/4), Do You Know What (11/4), Write It Down (11/4), Royal Magic (5/1), Aughnacurra King (7/1), Game Line (10/1), Miami Present (10/1), Ballycrystal Court (22/1), Picknick Park (28/1), Mister Mister (40/1), High Counsel (50/1)

DO YOU KNOW WHAT bettered her previous efforts in this sphere when going close at Bangor and, with this stiffer test likely to be in her favour, she gets the nod. Waitonit has to be feared on the back of his winning chase debut, but the selection may have most to fear from Royal Magic, who jumped from fence to fence when scoring at Newton Abbot.
