Sky Sports Racing HD Virgin 535 Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:33 | Winning time: 6m 43.23s

The Ogle Gogle Man^t,v1²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: James Davies| T: C J Mann| OR: 100| D

14/1

Hit the crossbar twice last term but beaten out of sight on his return at Stratford and more different headgear now tried dropped in class.

Form: 52293-7

Another Frontier^p⁵⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 97| D

7/2

Won a couple of 3m handicap chases in 2018 and should have come on for his Ffos Las hurdles return 8 weeks ago. Yard have hit form and he's worth a look.

Form: P/3963-0

Big Meadow^p¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: N B King| OR: 95| D

6/1

Now 4 lb lower than for his last win at Chepstow (under this rider) a year ago but he turned in another wayward display on his comeback there 17 days ago. Risky.

Form: P4426-6

Silent Man^t⁸^{(ex 7)}

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

5/6

Won as he liked on debut for this yard under young rider at Ffos Las last week. Big shout up 7 lb under similar conditions.

Form: 565/2-21

Onurbike^p,t⁴¹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-9| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: J G O'Neill| OR: 83| D

20/1

Positive start to last season, winning twice, but doesn't appear to have returned in anything like the same form if last month's run at Uttoxeter is anything to go by.

Form: 1/1176-P

Witches Glen^t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 82

50/1

Had shown some aptitude for chasing in 2 starts last autumn but bombed out after nearly a year off at Plumpton 3 weeks ago.

Form: 64P/48-P

Inspireus^b1³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Kevin Jones⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 81| C

14/1

Pulled up all 3 starts since opening his account in 20f conditionals handicap chase here in January. Interesting to see if a return to this venue/new headgear sparks a revival.

Form: 441P-PP

Go Hard Or Go Home^b,t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 77

20/1

Won 21f handicap chase at Hereford in March, that very much a standout effort. Dropped away alarmingly after bad mistake 3 out at Uttoxeter (20f) last time and looks risky.

Form: PP1-FP0

Burgess Dream^p³⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: Miss A M Newton-Smith| OR: 69| CD

28/1

Dual winner in December 2018 (including a C&D handicap) but little impact since, well beaten again on last month's return at Fontwell.

Form: 75PP3-P

Result Amended

Big Meadow - Original Position 3rd. Amended Position 5th.

Inspireus - Original Position 4th. Amended Position 3rd.

Burgess Dream - Original Position 5th. Amended Position 4th.

Forecasts

Silent Man (5/6), Another Frontier (7/2), Big Meadow (6/1), Inspireus (14/1), The Ogle Gogle Man (14/1), Onurbike (20/1), Go Hard Or Go Home (20/1), Burgess Dream (28/1), Witches Glen (50/1)

SILENT MAN leaps off the page after last week's ready win at Ffos Las under his young rider and he can defy a 7 lb rise under similar conditions. Another Frontier is greatly respected back over fences for a yard among the winners.
