Chase The Wind^t²⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Cook| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 107

11/1

Veteran scored at Huntingdon (3m) last October but not at best both starts this term, seventh in 3m handicap at Wetherby 24 days ago. Plummeting in the weights but still needs more.

Form: 3123-P7

Skyhill^h,t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Mrs A C Hamilton| OR: 104| CD

10/1

Thrived in the mud last winter, winning 4 handicaps in a row, including over C&D, and not disgraced on return when fading sixth in handicap back here 19 days ago. Should be spot on now so considered.

Form: 11134-6

Buckled²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 103

9/1

Fair winning chaser who got back on track with good reappearance fifth in 3m handicap hurdle at Musselburgh. Back over fences now and must enter calculations.

Form: 51P-4P5

Scoop The Pot^p,t⁵⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Alain Cawley| T: B Haslam| OR: 103| D

9/2

Landed 2 staying handicap chases for Philip Hobbs late in 2018. Little recent form since but hinted at revival when seventh in 20f handicap hurdle here last time. Handily weighted so not ruled out.

Form: 457-9P7

Nortonthorpelegend¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: R Menzies| OR: 102| BF| CD

5/2

C&D winner who arrives in good form, third of 10 in handicap here 19 days ago. Consistent sort so sure to be in the mix for yard among the winners.

Form: 414-443

The Late Legend^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: T H Weston| OR: 95| BF| CD

3/1

Posted impressive victories over C&D and at Huntingdon last month but never threatened after two mid-race mistakes when fourth back at Huntingdon last time. Sort to bounce back so big player here.

Form: 5-22114

Imperial Prince^p²⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-9| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: I A Duncan| OR: 90

66/1

Winless since 2016 and veteran beat only one on his return in 3m handicap at Ayr. Falling in the weights but still has plenty to prove.

Form: PP2P5-6

Derrick D'Anjou^p⁴⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: C O'Farrell| T: J Bedi| OR: 90

16/1

Modest hurdler who is yet to match that form in 2 runs over fences, plugging on late when a remote fourth over C&D on debut for new stable last month. Others appeal more.

Form: 45176-4

Spirit Of Hale^t,v²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 87| CD

9/1

C&D winner who looked rusty on first run for 8 months when tenth in 20f handicap chase at Uttoxeter 25 days ago. Visor/tongue strap back on now but he's unreliable.

Form: 54813-0

Forecasts

Nortonthorpelegend (5/2), The Late Legend (3/1), Scoop The Pot (9/2), Late Date (8/1), Spirit Of Hale (9/1), Buckled (9/1), Skyhill (10/1), Chase The Wind (11/1), Derrick D'Anjou (16/1), Imperial Prince (66/1)

A few in with a shout here and it could be worth giving another chance to THE LATE LEGEND who had looked a young chaser on the up when posting two convincing wins, including over C&D, until jumping errors cost him at Huntingdon last time. In-form Nortonthorpelegend can also boast a C&D win so is sure to make his presence felt and fellow-veteran Buckled is another worth considering.
