Dot Tolson Memorial Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:30 | Winning time: 5m 0.70s

Presence Of Mind¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: David England| T: O Murphy| OR: 120| D

5/1

Looked promising last season, winning bumper/novice hurdle. Underwhelming so far this term, though, and suffered early fall on recent Hereford chase debut. Yard has at least been in good form of late.

Form: 211-98F

Neil The Legend¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: K Davis| OR: 116| D

20/1

Got off mark under Rules in 22.5f Uttoxeter handicap chase for Nicky Henderson in December but well beaten in jumpers bumper and Fontwell handicap since joining this yard.

Form: 2-41584

Keep Moving²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 115| CD

4/1

Won over C&D in November 2019. Creditable second at Exeter in November and respectable fourth of 7 over this C&D last time. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 5-45294

Kauto The King^t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 115| CD

3/1

Surpassed hurdles form when making winning chase debut over C&D in October. Shade disappointing that he hasn't really built on that since but perhaps a return to this venue will help.

Form: 5-133F4

Mine's A Pint^h,t⁹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 115| D

17/2

Won twice around 21f in the autumn. Not at best over C&D on Boxing Day but given a bit of a break since and he's fairly handicapped if putting his best foot forward.

Form: 1F1658

Saintemilion^t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Angus Cheleda⁽⁷⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 114

33/1

Disappointing on the whole for Paul Nicholls after his Exeter chase success in March 2019 and no obvious promise setting out for a new stable at Newbury 24 days ago.

Form: U6244-7

The Last But One²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Kieron Edgar| T: W S Kittow| OR: 113| C| D

33/1

Useful chaser for Paul Nicholls in 2018. Had fair share of success in pointing field for Tom Malone but no show in 2 hurdles for new yard in recent weeks. Return to fences needs to spark a revival.

Form: 32-5350

Primal Focus^t⁴⁸⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 106

Definite Dilemma¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 105| BF

11/4

Point winner who has made a positive start over fences for new yard in recent weeks, caught bit further back than ideal when 6 lengths second at Fontwell 19 days ago. Capable of winning off this mark.

Form: 7/57-232

Forecasts

Definite Dilemma (11/4), Kauto The King (3/1), Keep Moving (4/1), Presence Of Mind (5/1), Mine's A Pint (17/2), Primal Focus (20/1), Neil The Legend (20/1), Saintemilion (33/1), The Last But One (33/1)

DEFINITE DILEMMA has a much more consistent recent profile than the rest of this opposition and can gain a deserved first success under Rules. Mine's A Pint is nicely treated if reviving after a short break, while Keep Moving is a former C&D scorer who ran respectably here last time.
