Plan A Consulting Handicap Chase (Div 2)

Off time: 16:20 | Winning time: 6m 15.70s

Cave Top^t,v³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: R T Dunne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 105

9/1

Regained the winning thread at Southwell in November off this mark and has found a bit of consistency in the meantime. Wouldn't be sure he'll prove fully effective over this trip, though.

Form: 21P544-

Stung For Cash^b1⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| OR: 103| D

10/1

Irish point winner who has shown a fair bit without success under Rules, but has also looked temperamental. Some excuses on chase debut at Wincanton and has blinkers on now.

Form: 44/3P95-

Bassarabad^t,v⁸²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 102| D

66/1

Fair chaser at best but lightly raced and little form since 2018.

Form: 23P4/5P-

The Manuscript^p⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 100| D

10/1

Suited by return to positive tactics when winning in good style at Market Rasen (3m, heavy) in December. Dropped away at Chepstow when last seen 10 weeks ago and his mark still looks high.

Form: 3/4P15P-

Clondaw Rigger^t³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 97| D

9/2

Dropped in the weights and might have won but for a crashing fall at the last in amateurs' handicap at Chepstow 7 weeks ago. Back up 5 lb but firm player again if shrugging off that experience.

Form: 47963F-

Tudors Treasure⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: T J O'Brien| T: R Stephens| OR: 96| C

15/2

Good record over the Exeter fences but won here over hurdles in 2017 and should have come on for recent return. Down 4 lb and could go well.

Form: 41/P37-6

Minella Voucher^p,t³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 95

10/1

Three-time winner over fences and building up a solid record at this level, placed again behind a gamble at Taunton last month (third and fourth won next time). One to consider.

Form: 4/U3322-

Arthur's Reuben^p,t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: James Davies| T: S Curran| OR: 88| BF| D

4/1

Good efforts on the back of March Chepstow win. Revised mark has kicked in but this doesn't look a particularly deep race again.

Form: 6/4P122-

Falethao D'ana^p,t³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 83| D

13/2

Point winner, ought to do better in this sphere and did offer a glimmer to work on fitted with a tongue strap under inexperienced rider at Newton Abbot (21f) last month. Could improve.

Form: 14/76P6-

Isla Di Milano^p⁴⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 76| D

11/2

Point winner who upped his game when runner-up over 3m at Ludlow in November 2019. Better for belated return (off 16 months) when third on chase bow at Hereford and entitled to come on again.

Form: 3142/P3-

Heartening⁷²²

Age: 13| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: K Woollacott| OR: 66

100/1

Looks of little account. First run for 2 years after a spell pointing.

Form: 779523/

Forecasts

Arthur's Reuben (4/1), Clondaw Rigger (9/2), Isla Di Milano (11/2), Falethao D'ana (13/2), Tudors Treasure (15/2), Cave Top (9/1), Minella Voucher (10/1), Stung For Cash (10/1), The Manuscript (10/1), Bassarabad (66/1), Heartening (100/1)

CLONDAW RIGGER needs to shrug off a crashing Chepstow fall but is chanced in the hope he does as this might not take much winning. Tudors Treasure and Minella Voucher are a couple of others to consider.
