Cocklakes Open Hunters' Chase

Off time: 17:00 | Winning time: 6m 34.10s

Wonderoftheworld⁴⁶²

Age: 9| Weight: 12-6| J: C O'Farrell| T: Miss H M Mcmahon| OR: 127| D

20/1

Useful chaser who was in good form for Keith Henry Clarke 15 months ago but hasn't been seen since. Capable of getting involved if he retains all of his ability.

Form: 433152-

Duhallow Tornado^b²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: O Pimlott| OR: 120| D

3/1

Fairly useful operator in this sphere and looked as good as ever when scoring by 10 lengths in first-time blinkers at Wetherby recently. Another bold show on the cards.

Form: 10-3521

Pass The Hat^t³⁰

Age: 14| Weight: 12-2| J: Thomas Garner| T: Miss S Rippon| OR: 120| C

40/1

Well into twilight of his career and didn't seem to retain much ability when pulled up at Fakenham on return.

Form: 41P3/P-P

The Galloping Bear^t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Ben Clarke| D

8/11

Multiple point winner who made a most impressive return to Rules when bolting up in a Fontwell hunter 3 weeks ago. Looks up to defying the penalty with an excellent claimer taking 3 lb off.

Form: 2111-21

Killer Crow¹⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: J C Clark| OR: 100| D

66/1

Fairly useful chaser for Gordon Elliott but nowhere near that level for Nick Alexander and only fourth in a hunter at Musselburgh on first Rules outing for current yard. Others are more appealing.

Form: 2142-24

Monbeg Chit Chat⁹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Mrs G B Walford| OR: 113| D

40/1

One-time fairly useful chaser who lost his form for Henry de Bromhead has won a point since and was runner-up in December. Not totally discounted back under Rules.

Form: 60742-2

Senor Lombardy³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny McMenamin| T: B Harding| OR: 116| D

9/2

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who has returned to Rules in good order, pulling clear of the remainder when second at Kelso last time. Slight step up in trip will suit, so one to consider.

Form: 6P6-142

Snow Castle²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: Mrs F Brewer| OR: 110| D

22/1

Multiple point winner who has run well on both outings in hunters, runner0up to Duhallow Tornado at Wetherby on reappearance 26 days ago. Unlikely to reverse the form.

Form: 2/2514-2

Forecasts

The Galloping Bear (8/11), Duhallow Tornado (3/1), Senor Lombardy (9/2), Wonderoftheworld (20/1), Snow Castle (22/1), Monbeg Chit Chat (40/1), Pass The Hat (40/1), Killer Crow (66/1)

THE GALLOPING BEAR won in authoritative style at Fontwell 21 days ago and, with a similar level of performance, should be able to follow up at the likely expense of Duhallow Tornado, who also scored by a double-figure margin recently. Senor Lombardy is the clear pick of the remainder.
