Carmarthenshire Coffee Company Handicap Chase

Off time: 17:43 | Winning time: 5m 7.96s

Getabuck³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: James Bowen| T: A Stronge| OR: 107

8/1

Fair maiden hurdler. Showed an aptitude for chasing when fourth over 2m at Leicester (soft) last month and is open to improvement, particularly at this sort of trip.

Form: 9/64-264

Cherokee Bill¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 104

15/2

Fair maiden hurdler/chaser for Noel Meade. Mark has edged down since joining this yard and he wasn't disgraced when third of 12 at Uttoxeter recently. Respected now dropping into a 0-105.

Form: P-43453

Arcade Attraction^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Niall Moore⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 103| C

11/2

Landed a gamble over fences on course reappearance. Unable to reproduce that level since but shaped as if back in form over hurdles last time and needs keeping eye on in betting returned to chasing.

Form: P-1F566

Do It For Thy Sen^p³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 99

10/3

Winning pointer who was runner-up in 21f handicap here in November. Back on track in cheekpieces (retained) when fourth at Leicester last month in a race which has thrown up winners.

Form: P-62474

Goodgirlteresa³⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Joshua Newman⁽⁷⁾| T: K Woollacott| OR: 97| CD

12/1

Veteran mare who has run a couple of creditable races over hurdles this term. Is on a workable mark back chasing so no surprise were she to go well.

Form: 71-5040

Oak Vintage^p,t1¹⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: P A Kirby| OR: 97| D

40/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2018. Comfortably held back from a break at Sedgefield 16 days ago but may have needed run and worth a precautionary betting check with a tongue strap added.

Form: 55-2P86

Larcadio^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Henderson| OR: 87

11/2

Winning Irish pointer who achieved a fair level of form over hurdles last term. Chase campaign this term littered with non-completions but latest Plumpton fifth a bit better. Needs to build on it now.

Form: 8-5PPP5

This Breac^p1,h,t¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Angus Cheleda⁽⁷⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 86

12/1

Pulled up first 3 starts this term but back to form with a bang when landing heavy-ground 2m Leicester handicap in February. Not on a going day at Leicester since, though.

Form: 4-PPP10

Amlovi⁵⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Benjamin Poste| T: A Wintle| OR: 82

16/1

Winning hurdler who was making promising start over fences when departing 3 out (still close up) in C&D handicap won by Kiera Royale in February. Much respected off the same mark.

Form: 714-33F

Lermoos Legend^p1³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 80

17/2

Easily best run over fences when second of 14 in 19f handicap at Exeter in December but held when falling on both starts since.

Form: 3052FP

Orsino^p⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: J E Moore| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 74

16/1

Fair Flat winner but just poor form over hurdles and has fared no better switched to fences here the last twice.

Form: 0-59678

Forecasts

Do It For Thy Sen (10/3), Arcade Attraction (11/2), Larcadio (11/2), Kiera Royale (7/1), Cherokee Bill (15/2), Getabuck (8/1), Lermoos Legend (17/2), This Breac (12/1), Goodgirlteresa (12/1), Orsino (16/1), Amlovi (16/1), Oak Vintage (40/1)

In an open finale it might be worth siding with AMLOVI, who still held every chance when exiting three out here last time and races off the same mark. Getabuck leaves the impression this slightly longer trip could play to his strengths and rates a possible threat, while Do It For Thy Sen's latest Leicester fourth has been boosted since so he's also on the shortlist.
