Plan A Consulting Handicap Chase (Div 1)

Off time: 15:50 | Winning time: 6m 17.00s

Lex Talionis^p,t³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 107

6/1

Needed some fortune on his side to finally open his account in this sphere, left clear last in amateurs' handicap at Chepstow (26f) last month. Not an obvious type to follow up.

Form: 2P4241-

Twojayslad^p,t⁴⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 105| D

10/1

Successful in 3m handicap chases in the mud at Doncaster and Ludlow under this rider at the turn of the year. Well held in face of stiff task at Newbury 6 weeks ago and this is easier.

Form: 6/21147-

Robin Of Sherwood^p,t⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: D A Rees| OR: 102| CD

5/2

Back-to-back winner in C&D handicaps last autumn and struck again in gritty fashion at Warwick (29.2f) last month. Not so good off this mark at Fakenham on Tuesday, though.

Form: 43321-P

Marble Moon^t³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 100| CD

11/2

Three-time chase winner over 3m in 2019 (also dual winner over hurdles here in 2018). Not the same force now and finished a rather hollow second behind Lex Talionis at Chepstow.

Form: 724952-

Triangle Rock^t⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 95

50/1

Runner-up twice in handicap hurdles for Keith Dalgleish but little promise in 3 runs for current stable last season, not completing both starts over fences. Bit to prove.

Form: 022/6PU-

The Big Yin^p,t1¹¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: James Davies| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 95WS

33/1

Fair form in bumpers but has offered very little in 4 starts over hurdles, pulling up on Chepstow handicap debut in cheekpieces in January. Tongue tie on after another wind op for chase debut.

Form: 295P/9P-

Hang Tough^t⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 92| D

2/1

Winning hurdler who has quickly done well over fences, scoring at Lingfield over this trip in November and running well from the front at Wetherby 9 weeks ago. Player.

Form: 13/5132-

Kapsize^p1,t¹⁷

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

13/2

On a long losing run but potentially well handicapped and should have come on for first run for red-hot yard after 6 months off at Worcester recently. New headgear on.

Forecasts

Hang Tough (2/1), Robin Of Sherwood (5/2), Marble Moon (11/2), Lex Talionis (6/1), Kapsize (13/2), Hedgeinator (7/1), Danilo D'Airy (7/1), Twojayslad (10/1), Bellamy's Grey (10/1), Chain Smoker (25/1), The Big Yin (33/1), Triangle Rock (50/1)

A race that revolves around whether DANILO D'AIRY is turned out again quickly. He landed a gamble comfortably from miles out of the weights at Warwick on Saturday and is clearly well ahead of his mark. Twojayslad drops back down in grade and is worthy of respect. Hang Tough could have more to offer in this sphere and is also considered.
