Vote Hollie Doyle For BBC SPOTY Handicap Chase

Off time: 13:45 | Winning time: 5m 29.16s

Destin D'Ajonc^t³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 111

6/1

Hurdles winner in France, but 0-4 for Gordon Elliott in Ireland and largely struggled for present yard. Bit more encouragement last time but could do with a drop in trip.

Form: 364P-75

Kilbrew Boy¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr Charlie Case⁽⁷⁾| T: B I Case| OR: 111| D

5/2

Justified strong support to land a 9-runner handicap at Wincanton (for second year running) 15 days ago and remains with handicapping scope after a rise, so obvious player

Form: 3-47541

Master Vintage^t²⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-4| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 109| D

9/1

Veteran who proved better than ever when landing back-to-back handicap chases at up to 19.8f last winter. Down the field at Wincanton on return and might need another run to put him spot on.

Form: P/5114-8

Hills Of Dubai²⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: Abbie McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 109| D

17/2

Fairly useful chaser who has been lightly raced since March 2019 and didn't show enough over hurdles on return to make him of serious interest back in this sphere.

Form: 25P6/3-4

Duhallow Lad²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: T J O'Brien| T: A E Jones| OR: 108| D

11/4

Dual Plumpton chase winner and right back on track with his reappearance under his belt when runner-up at Bangor last time. Should remain competitive in a thin race.

Form: 4/415-02

Truckers Highway^h,t²⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: J Groucott| OR: 105| CD

4/1

Regular winner over the years but lost his way at the end of last season and no sign of an upturn in his fortunes so far this term.

Form: 45P6-P4

Non-Runners

Diamond Brig²⁶

Weight: 11-5| Age: 8

T: Henry Oliver J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Diamond Brig (5/2), Kilbrew Boy (5/2), Duhallow Lad (11/4), Truckers Highway (4/1), Destin D'Ajonc (6/1), Hills Of Dubai (17/2), Master Vintage (9/1)

KILBREW BOY had a bit up his sleeve when scoring at Wincanton 15 days ago and remains well treated, so he gets the vote to follow up despite facing some stiff opposition in the shape of Diamond Brig, who arrives on the back of a winning debut for Henry Oliver. Duhallow Lad is the pick of the others.
