Lewis Rally Sport Another Kind Of Horsepower Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:13 | Winning time: 5m 54.5s

Some Buckle⁴⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: David England| T: Deborah Cole| OR: 125| D

125/1

Useful in his pomp but lightly raced and doesn't look to retain much ability.

Form: 197/PP-P

Canyon City¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 124| CD

5/1

Much more like it on second outing over fences when landing 5-runner handicap over C&D a fortnight ago. That wasn't a particularly deep race but he is up just 1 lb.

Form: P84-641

Corran Cross³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey| OR: 124

9/2

Maiden hurdle winner at Perth in June and made seamless transition to fences at Downpatrick in August. Left Mrs Denise Foster for £22,000 after but should have more to offer.

Form: 256-611

Thegallantway¹⁵⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 123| D

11/4

Point/dual hurdles winner who shaped pretty well when third on chase debut Exeter in November. Has failed to build on that since, but fitness unlikely to be an issue given yard he represents.

Form: 13355-3

Starsky¹⁰²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 117| BF

7/4

First run since leaving Stuart Kittow when emphatic winner of 11-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (26f, good to soft) in May. Good third soon after and this point winner now goes chasing.

Form: 3/140-13

Wigglesworth^b⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 113| BF| D

7/1

Fair hurdler who dispelled a lesser effort when running out a 5-length winner of a Bangor handicap in first-time blinkers in July. Bit disappointing back there a month later and now tackles fences.

Form: 4P-2214

Forecasts

Starsky (7/4), Thegallantway (11/4), Corran Cross (9/2), Canyon City (5/1), Wigglesworth (7/1), Some Buckle (125/1)

STARSKY may not be totally straightforward, but he made a pleasing start for Dan Skelton this summer and as a point winner, he could flourish over the larger obstacles. Canyon City is a recent C&D winner who seems sure to go well, while Corran Cross looked on the up in Ireland.
