Off time: 14:56 | Winning time: 3m 56.7s

All Shook Up^t¹⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 100

5/2

€105,000 Fame And Glory gelding. Yet to show a great deal but looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind so no surprise if he figured prominently on chase bow.

Form: 6006-B5

Raven Court^p1³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Paul O'Brien| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 96

15/2

Maiden who did show promise over hurdles initially but disappointing this spring and showed little aptitude for chasing at Bangor on return. Headgear on.

Form: 4766-48

Loup De Maulde¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 88

10/1

Placed both starts in bumpers but has made an unpromising start to his hurdling career. Looks the type to do better in handicaps but may want further than this on chase bow.

Uncle O^t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 79

5/2

Opened her account in 17f novice at Market Rasen on second chase start in July. Disappointed later that month but ran well back over hurdles at Plumpton 2 weeks ago. Big player back over fences.

Form: 59-3193

Secret Melody^v¹⁶⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁷⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 79WS

18/1

Finally off the mark at Bangor (17f) last summer but well held in 3 comeback outings this spring. Now 5 lb below that winning mark but need to see more.

Form: U518-66

Obey The Rules¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 79

9/2

Cost £20,000 after finishing runner-up on his second start in Irish points but offered little in 4 starts over hurdles and no better both starts over fences.

Form: 0808-55

Bold Red^h1²⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 77

25/1

Well held in a bumper and 3 novice hurdles so far. Off 6 months. Hooded for 1st time. Makes handicap/chase debut.

Form: 0V580-

Bullion^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 76| BF

10/1

Made a reasonable start for this yard when third at Newton Abbot in a first-time tongue strap but disappointed on belated chase bow at Ffos Las next time when strong in the betting. Better expected.

Form: 9395-34

Alburn²⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: R J Armson| OR: 69

40/1

Poor maiden chaser who pulled up at Huntingdon 27 days ago on his first outing after wind surgery. Hard to warm to from 5 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

All Shook Up (5/2), Uncle O (5/2), Obey The Rules (9/2), Raven Court (15/2), Loup De Maulde (10/1), Bullion (10/1), Templier (12/1), Secret Melody (18/1), Bold Red (25/1), Alburn (40/1)

UNCLE O took well to fences in the summer and could prove difficult to pass on the back of a decent run over hurdles 2 weeks ago. All Shook Up is a potential improver on handicap/chase bow, while Bullion could be worth another chance.
