Casumo Horse Racing And Sports Betting Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:00 | Winning time: 5m 3.36s

Town Parks¹⁸²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: J E Moore| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 130

50/1

Regained winning thread at Hereford (20.8f) 12 months ago and ended campaign with a good third at Carlisle in December. Pulled up at Southwell (25.8f) in May but better showing not ruled out on return

Form: 1P/213-P

Nada To Prada⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: R Patrick| T: M Scudamore| OR: 130| BF| C| DWS

2/1

Low-mileage mare who was 2-4 over hurdles and produced a promising first effort over fences when second in a mares' novice at Worcester (20f) in October. More to come now handicapping. Had wind op.

Form: 1/2113-2

Equus Dreamer^t²⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 127| BF

7/1

Placed all 3 starts between the flags and quickly reached a fairly useful level over hurdles, placed either side of his Hereford maiden victory (25.5f) in February. Better to come now chasing.

Form: 322/312-

Le Cameleon²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: David Noonan| T: Nick Williams| OR: 127| D

13/2

Dual hurdles winner who opened chase account at Chepstow (19.5f) in January. Fell next 2 starts but likely he'll come forward for last month's Stratford return fourth on back of a wind op.

Form: 321FF-4

Glory And Honour^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 126| BF

3/1

Fairly useful hurdles winner who ran up to best in that sphere when runner-up at Taunton (16.5f) in October. Successful only start in points so no surprise to see him competitive now chasing.

Form: 1333-02

Arian^p,t²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 126

16/1

Improved model for this yard, albeit fortunate to add to her tally on return at Newton Abbot (21f) last month (left in front after the last). 1 lb higher now but others appeal more for win purposes.

Form: 11F35-1

Est Illic²⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: W T Kennedy| T: S-J Davies| OR: 126

125/1

Much improved for new yard this term, winning handicap chases at Bangor and Doncaster. Disappointed at Newbury final start but this return to easier ground may help here.

Form: 65/1136-

Chinwag^t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 124| D

11/1

Largely progressive over hurdles and definite promise when second on chase debut at Newton Abbot (21f) in October, possibly just needing the run. Interesting with improvement anticipated.

Form: 11316-2

Ouro Branco^p²⁶³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 123

14/1

Cemented good start over fences with career best display to score at Wincanton (20f) on Boxing Day. Good second at Newbury in January prior to falling final start. Mark remains workable on return.

Form: 141/12F-

Molly Carew¹⁸⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 120| CD

28/1

Ended last season in excellent form, making it 3 wins from last 4 starts at Haydock (21.6f) in April. Not disgraced when fourth at Uttoxeter (3m) in May but mark demands a bit more now.

Form: 51U11-4

Ring The Moon^t²⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 103| BF

20/1

Landed back-to-back handicaps fitted with cheekpieces/tongue tie (at up to 21.6f) in February. Seemingly not 100% final start in March but this a marked step up in class on return to action.

Form: PF211P-

Forecasts

Nada To Prada (2/1), Glory And Honour (3/1), Le Cameleon (13/2), Equus Dreamer (7/1), Chinwag (11/1), Ouro Branco (14/1), Arian (16/1), Ring The Moon (20/1), Molly Carew (28/1), Town Parks (50/1), Est Illic (125/1)

An intriguing handicap chase featuring a host of unexposed sorts with the vote in favour of EQUUS DREAMER. Fairly useful over hurdles, this ex-pointer promises to do even better now switched to larger obstacles. Nada To Prada is similarly interesting and along with Chinwag, heads the dangers.
