Weatherbys Racing Bank Foreign Exchange Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:17 | Winning time: 7m 16.20s

Paddys Runner^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 98| C

7/1

Made a positive start for this yard over hurdles and produced his best effort to date over fences when fifth at Ffos Las recently. Dropped 2 lb since, so claims if he can back it up.

Form: 12P86-5

Ede'iffs Elton^p1²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: R Walford| OR: 96

11/2

Modest hurdler who was in the process of running well when unseating 2 out in a handicap at Exeter on his second chase outing. Worth considering on the back of that encouragement.

Form: 6279-6U

River Of Intrigue^p,t²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 94| C

16/1

Dual winner in 2018-19. More promise when fourth at Wincanton for new trainer in September but followed it with a dismal display at Hereford.

Form: 4P4-P4P

Hepburn^p,t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Rex Dingle| T: A Stronge| OR: 93

28/1

Maiden who was pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Exeter on return and makes limited appeal back over the larger obstacles.

Form: 33/44P-P

Love The Leader^v1²³

Age: 12| Weight: 11-4| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 90| C

17/2

Back on last winning mark but, given he's been out of sorts this season, will need first-time visor to perk him up if he's to capitalise.

Form: 246-456

Great Tempo^b,t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Kieron Edgar| T: D Pipe| OR: 89

10/1

Modest hurdler who struggles for consistency but is on an appealing mark and may strip fitter for his reappearance at Ffos Las. Not completely dismissed.

Form: 8417P-5

Lets Go Dutchess²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Brendan Powell| T: K Bishop| OR: 87

13/2

Formerly unreliable type who has been running more consistently of late, never a threat when fourth in a handicap chase at Hereford recently. Not dismissed from a handy mark.

Form: 0-R0544

Mogestic^p⁴³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-13| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 85

18/1

Followed with Fontwell win in September with respectable effort over hurdles, then suffered overreach when pulled up last time. Could bounce back after a short break.

Form: 7-7214P

Mr Magill^t³²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 81| C

10/1

Seemed to run with credit when third in a handicap at Taunton on chase debut/final outing of last season. Seemed to need his reappearance over hurdles, so should be fully tuned up now.

Form: 99373-0

Frilly Frock^t⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: T Scudamore| T: J Mason| OR: 78| C

15/2

Unexposed as a chaser and managed to land a weak handicap at this course despite being out of the weights last time. Needs more improvement to defy a 4-lb rise.

Form: 8-P7031

Bindon Lane^p,t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 77

14/1

Has looked decidedly limited to this point, so hard to see him featuring on his second go over fences (pulled up in novice at Exeter a month ago).

Form: 09/P55-P

Shanroe Smooch^t1¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 72

10/1

Point winner who has looked poor under Rules and makes little appeal once again despite a first-time tongue strap.

Form: P/705-47

Westerner Ocean^v¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 69

20/1

Is of little account.

Form: 545PP-6

Forecasts

Ede'iffs Elton (11/2), Lets Go Dutchess (13/2), Paddys Runner (7/1), Frilly Frock (15/2), Love The Leader (17/2), Mr Magill (10/1), Great Tempo (10/1), Shanroe Smooch (10/1), Bindon Lane (14/1), River Of Intrigue (16/1), Mogestic (18/1), Westerner Ocean (20/1), Hepburn (28/1)

A weak handicap chase in which the tentative vote goes to EDE'IFFS ELTON, who is low mileage as a chaser and still held every chance when unseating in a better race at Exeter last time. Love The Leader and Great Tempo are both well treated and capable of making an impact on a going day.
