Pennant Walters Handicap Chase

Off time: 17:00 | Winning time: 4m 10.39s

Another Tuco^p²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-4| J: Jack Tudor⁽⁵⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 102

15/2

Point winner who was runner-up over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces here in March. Shaped as though amiss on return/chase debut at Uttoxeter (without headgear) and cheekpieces swiftly refitted.

Form: 59502-P

Tanrudy¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-4| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 102| BF

6/1

Rather in-and-out subsequent to Market Rasen (21.4f) victory last November (went off too hard upped to 26f last time) but could be dangerous if let loose up front now dropped to the minimum trip.

Form: 3P35-35

Joly Maker⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 96| D

3/1

Resumed winning ways at Bangor (20.3f) in August prior to hitting the crossbar at Fontwell. Latest run can be overlooked (brought down early on) and he has to be high on the shortlist.

Form: 85-612B

Arcade Attraction²¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 95

7/2

Fair form in novice hurdles during 2018/19 campaign but offered little in 3 starts over fences last season.

Form: 587P8P-

Robin Des People^p,t⁴⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: D Brace| OR: 93

25/1

Form: 636-6PP

Un Beau Roman^h²⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 11-7| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Henderson| OR: 91| D

16/1

Losing run stretches back to November 2016 and while he didn't shape at all badly on return at Fontwell, his subsequent effort at the same course was uninspiring.

Form: 3964-38

Voila Eric^b²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: T Scudamore| T: M Scudamore| OR: 89

5/1

Yet to win a race of any description but wasn't disgraced back from a 7-month absence at Uttoxeter (2½m). Now 3 lb lower and this drop in trip is potentially a good move.

Form: 69/P5F-6

Centreofexcellence^t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Benjamin Poste| T: A Wintle| OR: 78| D

18/1

Dual winner in 2018 but not at same level last year and well beaten on return/debut for new yard at Southwell.

Form: P0434-5

Joey Steel³⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 76

40/1

Poor and temperamental maiden. Best watched back from an 11-month absence.

Form: 0/54369-

Leaving Home^p1³¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 75| D

28/1

Bumper winner in 2018 but hasn't shown much otherwise and has failed to complete on each of his 3 starts over fences.

Form: 9P0UPF-

Captains Run^t1⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: J Farrelly| OR: 73

12/1

Little in the way of worthwhile form under Rules and, unless the first-time tongue strap sparks immediate improvement, he will probably come up short once more.

Form: 0703P-P

Yourholidayisover^p²⁹³

Age: 13| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss L Brooke⁽⁷⁾| T: Lady S Brooke| OR: 68

100/1

Irresolute performer who struggled in 3 starts last season and it's been a long time since this veteran last hit the target.

Form: 23P/073-

Forecasts

Joly Maker (3/1), Arcade Attraction (7/2), Voila Eric (5/1), Tanrudy (6/1), Another Tuco (15/2), Captains Run (12/1), Un Beau Roman (16/1), Centreofexcellence (18/1), Hickey's Rock (20/1), Robin Des People (25/1), Leaving Home (28/1), Joey Steel (40/1), Yourholidayisover (100/1)

It could be worth chancing VOILA ERIC, for whom this drop in trip looks a good move and he still has low mileage. Joly Maker was in good form prior to being brought down last time and he is feared most ahead of Tanrudy, who is another who may benefit from going back in distance. Another Tuco is also shortlisted.
