Walters Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:15 | Winning time: 5m 21.00s

Catamaran Du Seuil^b²⁹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 130| BF| D

13/2

Useful winning chaser who confirmed he's back in form when runner-up in class 3 handicap at Leicester when last seen in January, clear of rest and again jumping better that usual. Leading player.

Form: 0P/7342-

Bean In Trouble²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 129

4/1

Off the mark at fourth attempt over timber in Ludlow handicap in February. Vey much needed the experience sent chasing after 8 months off at Carlisle last month and he should improve on handicap bow.

Form: 1/2721-5

Destined To Shine^t³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 127| BF| D

9/1

Uttoxeter winner last season and better than ever on return (first run following another wind operation) when scoring there in October. Possibly found race coming too soon just 10 days later, however.

Form: 3412-19

Hill Sixteen²⁹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 126| BF| D

2/1

Fairly useful hurdler who matched that form when getting off the mark in this sphere at Sedgefield. Runner-up at Newcastle since, but gone up 5 lb for that. Sold for £46,000 after and he's a player.

Form: 4/66412-

Mac Tottie^h,t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 123

5/1

Good strike rate over hurdles (4-8) and was much improved from chasing debut 17 months on when eighth in handicap at Uttoxeter 33 days ago, faring best of those held up. Should improve.

Form: 1118/P-8

Coral³⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Lee Edwards| T: A Ralph| OR: 122

6/1

Made a successful hurdling debut for A. Boisbrunet in May 2019. Sold for €23,000 in July following a below-par fourth of 7 in minor event chase at Lignieres (22.4f, good to soft). Market should guide.

Form: 14225-

Holdbacktheriver²⁹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 120

28/1

Signed off for last season with (cheekpieces on) win in 26f handicap chase at Chepstow on heavy ground 9 months ago. Respected on his return.

Form: 48/05P1-

Never Equalled^b²⁵⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-1| J: Dave Crosse| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 105| C

28/1

Has a 4-12 record over hurdles here, the latest win coming last November. Turned in a poor effort when last seen here in March and switches back over fences for his return.

Form: U14645-

Forecasts

Hill Sixteen (2/1), Bean In Trouble (4/1), Mac Tottie (5/1), Coral (6/1), Catamaran Du Seuil (13/2), Destined To Shine (9/1), Holdbacktheriver (28/1), Never Equalled (28/1)

HILL SIXTEEN has joined a yard firing on all cylinders at present and he's taken to get back to winning ways after a solid runner-up effort at Newcastle when last seen in January. Bean In Trouble needed the experience sent chasing at Carlisle last month so should make more of an impact here, while Catamaran du Seuil is another to consider making his reappearance.
