Welcome Back To Huntingdon Racecourse Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:30 | Winning time: 5m 3.26s

Demon D'Aunou^h⁷²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 117

4/1

Caught the eye on a couple of occasions prior to readily resuming winning ways at Stratford under this rider in July. Subsequent run best excused and he's had a break since, so he's still one to note.

Form: 42-3715

Larch Hill³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 115

11/4

Returned to his best when making a winning debut for current connections at Stratford a month ago. Likely to put up another bold showing from the front.

Form: 224521

Elkstone^h³⁷⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: S Bowen| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 114| CD

4/1

Irresolute performer who capitalised on a sliding mark over C&D 12 months ago but hasn't been seen since. Remains well treated on old form, so claims if he's tuned up.

Form: 5/36631-

Romanor¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 113| BF

4/1

Headstrong sort who is going through a good spell around 2m, scoring at Stratford in July and following up 12 days later at Uttoxeter. Creditable efforts since, so liable to be thereabouts again.

Form: 631123

Glorious Lady¹⁹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 110| D

12/1

Struggling when last seen and has left Keith Dalgleish subsequently, so returns with something to prove.

Form: 41/6479-

Court Duty^t⁸⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 107| D

14/1

Pulled up in handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f, good, 20/1) 84 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John Flint. Others more persuasive.

Form: 13-9F5P

High Noon^p²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 103| D

15/2

Scored twice at Market Rasen in the summer but disappointing the last twice and mark looks about right currently.

Form: 7-11234

Forecasts

Larch Hill (11/4), Romanor (4/1), Demon D'Aunou (4/1), Elkstone (4/1), High Noon (15/2), Glorious Lady (12/1), Court Duty (14/1)

DEMON D'AUNOU was impressive on his penultimate outing, then blew his chance with a couple of mistakes at Uttoxeter next time, so he gets the nod in a tricky race. Larch Hill bids to make it 2 from 2 for his current stable and looks an obvious danger along with Romanor.
