Racing Partnership TRP Handicap Chase

Off time: 18:15 | Winning time: 5m 28.18s

Delight Of Dubai²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Noel Williams| OR: 115

3/1

Fair hurdles winner who arrives on the back of solid placed efforts over fences, noted doing best work at the finish when third at Worcester (20f) latest. Entitled to be in the mix again.

Form: 25D/32-3

Rizzardo¹⁰⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 114

9/1

Back on song when making all at Southwell (20.4f) in November. Pulled up at Bangor next time but shaped better than distance beaten when third at Southwell (3m) since. Ease back in trip a likely plus.

Form: 2P/51P3-

Vocaliser^p,t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 112| D

10/1

Rejuvenated after joining this stable, completing a hat-trick at Ffos Las in October. Underperformed next 2 starts but best to overlook latest Uttoxeter return (saddle slipped early).

Form: 1117P-P

Demon D'Aunou^h⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: William Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 111| D

3/1

Back to winning ways at Cartmel (21f) last July and he arrives on the back of good placed efforts under this rider of late, mistakes not helping at Southwell (20.4f) latest. Not discounted.

Form: 43542-3

Court Duty^t²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J L Flint| OR: 109| CD

11/1

C&D winner who got back to winning ways over shorter at Ffos Las in November. Not in same form since though, held when falling 2 out at Worcester (20f) in May. Mark is easing but others appeal more.

Form: 5613-9F

He's A Bully¹¹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-10| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 99

50/1

Took a long time to get off the mark but he did it at Wincanton in 2015. Pulled up both starts in points back in 2018/19 but best not judged on return spin over an inadequate trip here 11 days ago.

Form: 223PP/8

Twasn't The Plan^h,t⁷³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 93

10/3

Long-standing maiden who has fallen plenty in the weights and ran well upon returning last year. However, recent efforts not so inspiring, well held fourth in 5-runner Chepstow event (19.5f) in April.

Form: 239454-

Catch The Cuban^p,t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 88

9/1

Hurdles winner back in 2019 who struggled to make an impact last season and pulled up both starts over hurdles this spring. Is low-mileage in this sphere though and interesting if strong in betting.

Form: 6799-PP

Forecasts

Delight Of Dubai (3/1), Demon D'Aunou (3/1), Twasn't The Plan (10/3), Catch The Cuban (9/1), Rizzardo (9/1), Vocaliser (10/1), Court Duty (11/1), He's A Bully (50/1)

An open-looking handicap with the vote in favour of DELIGHT OF DUBAI. She again ran well when third at Worcester recently, doing her best work at the finish, and she looks sure to go well again on that evidence. Demon D'aunou similarly arrives in good nick and is feared, whilst Catch The Cuban is worth a check in the betting back over fences from his much-reduced mark.
