Pennant Walters Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:25 | Winning time: 6m 50.83s

Jurys Out²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 100

5/4

Hurdles winner at Carlisle in 2019 and positive start to this season when runner-up in 25.8f Newton Abbot handicap chase. Remains unexposed in this sphere and major claims off the same mark.

Form: 512/U3-2

5/1

Back on track for new yard the last twice, third at Market Rasen in September prior to a near-miss at Stratford (22.6f). Step back up in trip looks a good move and he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 5P-8P32

Newlands Cross⁶³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Jack Tudor⁽⁵⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 91| D

33/1

Five-race maiden under Rules who is probably best watched on debut for new yard following a 631-day layoff.

Form: 107045/

Pleney^v1³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 91

9/2

Some decent efforts over hurdles to his name, but 0-9 in that sphere and sole previous run over fences was hardly inspiring. Visor applied.

Form: P336P-4

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Fergus Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 91

11/1

Given a good ride by this jockey when scraping home at Taunton last December, but subsequent poor efforts merely underlined his inconsistency. Opposable.

Form: 48417P-

Ring The Moon⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 89

40/1

Runner-up twice in low-level handicaps over hurdles last winter, but has made inauspicious start over fences this term.

Form: 225-08P

Silent Man^t²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss S Whittle⁽⁷⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 88| D

11/2

Three-time winner over hurdles/fences up to 25.5f in 2017. Not seen out under Rules for 868 days, but runner-up both starts between the flags this year and interesting contender on debut for new yard.

Form: 4565/2-2

Blazing Tom^p²⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: R Patrick| T: Christian Williams| OR: 85| D

28/1

Five-time point winner, but only modest form under Rules so far and best watched back from an 8-month break.

Forecasts

Jurys Out (5/4), Pleney (9/2), Game Line (5/1), Silent Man (11/2), Watching Brief (10/1), Great Tempo (11/1), Only Gorgeous (20/1), Misty Mai (20/1), Blazing Tom (28/1), Newlands Cross (33/1), Wizards Bridge (33/1), Ring The Moon (40/1)

JURYS OUT shaped well when chasing home Crossley Tender (winner again since) on his reappearance at Newton Abbot and remains open to improvement in this sphere. Venetia Williams' charge gets the nod ahead of Game Line, who went close on his second start for this yard at Stratford. Silent Man is also of interest back under Rules and Only Gorgeous makes some each-way appeal.
