Racing TV Handicap Chase

Off time: 18:40 | Winning time: 5m 54.39s

Gun Merchant^p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Mrs A C Hamilton| OR: 100

20/1

Fair hurdler for Gordon Elliott and, while yet to replicate that over fences for his current yard, he's posted several respectable efforts, third in handicap at Perth last time. Considered.

Form: 754-363

Frau Georgia^p,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 100

10/1

Winner over hurdles last September and, after a spell in the doldrums, has fared better the last twice, travelling well for a long way on chasing debut at Perth on latest. Warrants respect.

Form: P4-PU35

Trumps Benefit^p,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Ned Fox⁽¹⁰⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 99

13/2

Back to form for new yard, regaining the winning thread at Hexham in May and since posted a trio of in-frame efforts. Not discounted.

Form: 73-1434

More Buck's^t³⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-9| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 97| BF| C

17/2

Inconsistent sort who was been pulled up on his last 3 starts under Rules. Returned from points (won 3) with a disappointing effort at Stratford on latest, so arrives with a bit to prove.

Form: 1P1-12P

Going Mobile^t⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 94| BF| C

9/1

Modest chaser who found good run of form coming to a halt at this course last time, seemingly amiss. Type to bounce back quickly, so hard to completely rule out.

Form: 22-362P

Absolutely Dylan^p²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 93| D

25/1

On a long losing run and followed a good effort with a tame one when sixth at Cartmel last time. Claims if on a going day, but he can't be trusted.

Form: 22-P526

Steel Wave^b,t²⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 93

12/1

Temperamental veteran who has fallen plenty in the weights but doesn't look likely to take advantage any time soon.

Form: 0-43385

Writteninthesand^p,t1¹¹⁴

5/1

Winning pointer who arrives on back of two good efforts over fences, cheekpieces fitted when third in 3m handicap chase at Warwick 114 days ago. Had wind op and tongue strap on. Big player.

Form: 60/5P23-

No Cruise Yet²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 89| BF| D

9/2

Became disappointing towards end of last year but fit from points, belatedly opened account at Worcester in June. Good third at Uttoxeter since and likely to give another good account in a weak race.

Form: 831-413

Tanrudy^p³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 86| C

15/2

Modest operator who has placed on his last 3 starts but remains vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 54-6223

West To Crossgales^p1³²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 85| D

16/1

Modest hurdles winner who twice went close over fences at Uttoxeter/Sedgefield last year. Quickly dropped down the weights following a string of below-par efforts, but opposable all the same.

Form: 226-849

So Satisfied^p,t²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 77

28/1

Weak finisher who has been badly out of sorts this term. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 365-P67

Supreme Steel^b²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 77| D

66/1

Potentially well treated but hard to make a case for based on his hunter exploits for Freya Brewer earlier this year and no better in 3 outings for this yard.

Form: 52-695U

Catlow^t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: James Davies| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 74

33/1

Still winless and arrives on the back of a tame display at Worcester, so others make more appeal.

Form: 95P3-69

L'Es Fremantle¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Chris Ward⁽⁵⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 68| C

66/1

Makes no appeal.

Form: 9-P0357

Forecasts

No Cruise Yet (9/2), Writteninthesand (5/1), Trumps Benefit (13/2), Tanrudy (15/2), More Buck's (17/2), Going Mobile (9/1), Frau Georgia (10/1), Steel Wave (12/1), Miami Present (12/1), West To Crossgales (16/1), Gun Merchant (20/1), Absolutely Dylan (25/1), So Satisfied (28/1), Catlow (33/1), Supreme Steel (66/1), L'Es Fremantle (66/1)

WRITTENINTHESAND was placed in a couple of more competitive races than this earlier in the year and has undergone wind surgery since last seen at Warwick 114 days ago, so this looks a gilt-edged opportunity to shed his maiden tag. In-form No Cruise Yet looks his main danger, though Frau Georgia could take a hand if she steps forward from an encouraging chasing bow.
