Connollys Red Mills Handicap Chase

Off time: 18:03 | Winning time: 3m 52.7s

Cape Robin^t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 99

66/1

Point winner but well held all 4 completed starts under Rules.

Form: 1/7448-U

Badness Backfires¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: R T Dunne| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 99| BF

11/2

Fair ex-Irish maiden who ran his best race on just his second completed start for his new yard when runner-up in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f) 14 days ago. Must enter calculations on chase bow.

Form: 2504U-2

Arizona Glory⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 95| BF

12/1

Has generally performed with credit over fences so it's probably worth forgiving him a poor run in first-time cheekpiecs at Ludlow earlier in the week.

Form: 2P34-54

Elios D'Or^b1,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: R Walford| OR: 95| D

16/1

Bumper winner who confirmed previous promise when third in 17.8f handicap chase at Fontwell 16 days ago. Blinkers on for 1st time. Merits consideration.

Form: 6209F-3

Knight Destroyer²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 95| D

13/2

Not disgraced back over fences when third in 16.5f Worcester handicap 23 days ago, but continues to underachieve based on the form he showed in 2019/20.

Form: P82F3-3

Uno Mas¹⁸⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 89| C| D

40/1

Multiple hurdles winner but seemed to find the fences a struggle returned to chasing at Fakenham when last seen in November.

Form: P61386-

Lermoos Legend^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 86| CD

6/4

Confirmed his recent improvement when winning 12-runner handicap chase (3/1) over C&D (good to soft) 19 days ago, jumping better. Can go well again if avoiding mistakes.

Form: 52FP2-1

Sad Eyed Dylan^h,t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 85

9/1

Is a winning Irish pointer so not a total surprise he fared better returned to chasing when fourth of 12 to Lermoos Legend in a C&D handicap 19 days ago. Has each-way claims.

Form: 08685-4

Go On Brycey Lad¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: C Gethings| T: T R George| OR: 84

8/1

Disappointing in a light career over hurdles but slightly better signs since switching to chasing, jumping better than on debut when fourth of 9 in handicap at Stratford (19.4f) 13 days ago.

Form: 58/9P3-4

Harry Haze¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: P C Dando| OR: 83| BF

16/1

Finally off the mark in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f) earlier in the month. Failed to repeat that effort at this course 12 days ago and now tries chasing over a much shorter trip.

Form: 6533-16

Hot Smoked^t⁶⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: James Best| T: Claire Hitch| OR: 78

100/1

Poor form over hurdles/fences. Well beaten all 3 starts last season so easy enough to look elsewhere on first run for this yard after leaving Robert Walford.

Form: 2P3/PP0-

Yourholidayisover^p¹⁴⁹

Age: 14| Weight: 10-3| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: G Howell| OR: 76

50/1

Irresolute veteran who made the frame for the fifth time last season when second at Bangor in December, but wasn't in the same form at Warwick later that month. First run for new yard.

Form: 332P2P-

Trio D'ecajeul^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: David Noonan| T: M Blake| OR: 47

50/1

No form over hurdles and well held on Fakenham chasing debut from well out of the weights. Looks set for another struggle.

Form: 1/PP06-6

Forecasts

Lermoos Legend (6/4), Badness Backfires (11/2), Knight Destroyer (13/2), Go On Brycey Lad (8/1), Sad Eyed Dylan (9/1), Arizona Glory (12/1), Elios D'Or (16/1), Harry Haze (16/1), Uno Mas (40/1), Trio D'ecajeul (50/1), Yourholidayisover (50/1), Cape Robin (66/1), Hot Smoked (100/1)

LERMOOS LEGEND jumped better than previously over fences when opening his account over C&D 19 days ago and a 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid if continuing to keep the mistakes to a minimum. Badness Backfires has been shaping up well for his new trainer over hurdles so must enter calculations, as should Elios D'or, who confirmed previous promise when third at Fontwell 16 days ago.
