Yorton & Potter Group Stallions Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:45 | Winning time: 5m 30.30s

Elan De Balme²³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: Fergus Gillard⁽⁶⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 117WS

10/3

Fairly useful chaser in France who held his form well, though made a low-key start for new yard towards the end of last season. Returns from 7 months off with a bit to prove.

Form: 122F77-

Master Burbidge^p⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 114| D

18/1

Versatile performer who posted good third on return to chasing at Perth (20.1f) in July but has gone backwards subsequently. Others make more appeal.

Form: 4/47-3U4

Court Duty^t1⁹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Houlihan| T: J L Flint| OR: 111| DWS

20/1

Improved over fences last season, landing back-to-back novice handicaps at Uttoxeter and Newton Abbot in the summer. No encouragement on either outing this term, though.

Form: 11F3-05

More Buck's^t²²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: R Patrick| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 111| D

6/1

Returned with good efforts over at Market Rasen and Stratford, but form has taken a turn for the worse since (pulled up last 3 starts) and he looks risky now.

Form: 3-43PPP

Parlour Maid^p,t²²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Lorcan Williams| T: R G Hawker| OR: 110

18/1

Scored over fences at Lingfield last November and signed off for season with good fourth at Exeter. Has gone well when fresh so in the mix with cheekpieces on for her return.

Form: 8/1U8P4-

Oxwich Bay⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Conor Ring| T: Evan Williams| OR: 110| BF| C| D

8/1

Put it all together to get off the mark over fences here (21f) in July. Good fifth at Uttoxeter next time but shade underwhelming at Sedgefield 44 days ago. Solid claims in a weak affair.

Form: 32-U153

Vocaliser^t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 109

5/2

One-time fairly useful chaser who has been rejuvenated since joining this stable, completing a double with something up his sleeve at Bangor last time. Should take the beating again.

Form: 4235-11

Jean Genie²⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 112

12/1

Fair form over hurdles/fences in France but made an underwhelming start in Britain, so needs to turn it round back over fences for this reappearance.

Form: 454474-

Between The Waters^p,t⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 98| C

6/1

Dual chase winner around 20f in 2019 who has strictly been below his best in trio of starts so far this summer, merely passing beaten rivals when fourth at Newton Abbot (21f) 58 days ago.

Form: 525-544

Forecasts

Vocaliser (5/2), Elan De Balme (10/3), More Buck's (6/1), Between The Waters (6/1), Oxwich Bay (8/1), Jean Genie (12/1), Master Burbidge (18/1), Parlour Maid (18/1), Court Duty (20/1)

VOCALISER has found a new lease of life since joining Olly Murphy and remains well handicapped on old form, so he's an obvious choice to land the hat-trick in a race where meaningful opposition looks thin on the ground. Oxwich Bay looks the chief danger ahead of Parlour Maid.
