Oliver Greenall Racing Thank Our Staff Novices' Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:48 | Winning time: 5m 10.12s

Rintulla^b¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Luca Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 104| D

4/1

Fair bumper winner who got off the mark over fences in a big-field handicap at Worcester in July. Back on track when third at Huntingdon (23.6f, good to soft) latest and must enter calculations.

Form: PP-41U3

Wax And Wane^t²⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 103

50/1

Useful on Flat for Karl Burke and showed ability when runner-up both starts over hurdles in 2019. Lightly raced and disappointing since, however, and likely best watched on chase debut.

Form: 022/P8-

San Agustin¹⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| OR: 103| BF| D

9/1

Opened account over hurdles at Southwell (20.4f) in May and posted solid fourth in Stratford follow-up bid. Warrants respect on switch to larger obstacles.

Form: 058-214

O'Grady's Boy¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Miss Immy Robinson⁽⁷⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 100

66/1

Best effort when second in 3m1f Cartmel hunter on chase debut in June. Has looked limited otherwise, though, although latest run can be ignored (saddle slipped and unseated rider).

Form: 68-2P6U

Master Malcolm^t¹⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs E Bishop| OR: 104

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden who bettered his debut effort over hurdles when third in small-field novice at Aintree (20f) in May. Below that level next time, however, and makes limited appeal on chasing bow.

Form: 3275-32

Deputy Jones^p,t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 92

10/1

Long-standing maiden over timber who posted creditable second in handicap at Huntingdon (19.6f, good to soft, 6/1) 21 days ago. Begins chasing career off same mark and could be a player.

Form: 0429-F2

On The Platform¹⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott| OR: 90| CD

7/1

Confirmed handicap hurdle debut promise when getting on top in the closing stages at this course (19.6f, heavy) in May. Just 2 lb higher now and likely contender if taking to this discipline.

Form: 30864-1

Representing Bob²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 89

11/10

Promising sort who made a winning chase debut in 9-runner handicap at Stratford (19.4f, good, 15/2) 22 days ago, keeping on well. 6 lb higher now but could be more to come yet.

Form: 6557-1

Flintara¹⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey| OR: 88

11/1

Yet to get her head in front but posted another good effort when third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good) in June. Not out of things on chasing bow.

Form: 5460-33

Midnight Popstar^p1¹²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 77

18/1

Yet to threaten in bumpers or over hurdles and is hard to recommend on first crack over fences. 1 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 75/5P-44

Forecasts

Representing Bob (11/10), Rintulla (4/1), On The Platform (7/1), San Agustin (9/1), Deputy Jones (10/1), Flintara (11/1), Midnight Popstar (18/1), Wax And Wane (50/1), Master Malcolm (50/1), O'Grady's Boy (66/1)

REPRESENTING BOB left his hurdling form behind when making a winning chase debut at Stratford earlier this month and remains open to improvement in this sphere. He can follow up. Rintulla and On The Platform head the list of dangers.
