Easily Pleased What A Legend Handicap Chase

Off time: 17:16 | Winning time: 4m 6.20s

Tikkinthebox^t³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 12-3| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 127| CD

4/1

Three-time winner last season who arrives on back of a string of good seconds, so more than likely to be on the premises once more.

Form: 151-222

Casa Tall^t1¹⁰¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 117

11/4

Fairly useful hurdler chaser for current yard, scoring at Bangor in April before a respectable effort in France 101 days ago. Tongue tied after a break, and yard are amongst the winners.

Form: 5/6331-4

Dogon^p,t⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 113| D

11/4

Fair but temperamental chaser who was back to form when runner-up over C&D last time but can't be trusted to turn up in the same mood.

Form: 7/613-P2

Peterborough²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 112| CD

10/1

Landed a hat-trick last season but has struggled for form so far this term. Mark is sliding and has scored over C&D in the past, so not totally discounted.

Form: 43-454U

Rooster Cogburn^h³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 110

5/2

Lightly raced chaser who got back on the up to double his tally in this sphere at Market Rasen last month, having something to spare. Makes plenty of appeal despite a step up in grade.

Form: P/31-241

Forecasts

Rooster Cogburn (5/2), Casa Tall (11/4), Dogon (11/4), Tikkinthebox (4/1), Elios D'Or (6/1), Peterborough (10/1)

ROOSTER GOGBURN was firmly back on the up when making all in good style at Market Rasen in July and, if left alone in front once more, he'll be a hard nut to crack with the scope for better still. The consistent Tikkinthebox is likely to be thereabouts, while Casa Tall is one to be interested in back from a break with a tongue strap fitted.
