Remembering A True Gentleman, Howard Bradshaw Handicap Chase

Off time: 12:41 | Winning time: 5m 14.40s

Guetapan Collonges²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-1| J: W T Kennedy| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 107| BF| D

10/3

Ended last season in good form in handicap hurdles over this trip, winning at Huntingdon and Sedgefield. Held on chase debut/return at Stratford when backed, though not knocked about. Interesting.

Form: 58011-5

Zuckerberg²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 104

7/2

Yet to win in this country, though he's run well in similar contests the last twice and you'd think his turn will come.

Form: 354322

Pens Man^p,t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Alain Cawley| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 103| BF| CD

15/2

Not so good in hat-trick bid at Exeter last month but form of his previous wins over C&D and at Warwick has worked out and he's worth another chance, this just his fourth run over fences after all.

Form: P6-F114

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 100| C

12/1

Ended 2020/21 out of sorts and fared no better after 8 months off at Bangor, though his record over these fences reads 212.

Form: 2455P-5

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: S Allwood| OR: 90

3/1

Got back on track sent chasing after 7 months off (breathing operation in interim) at Bangor, though made hard work of things. Could have a race in him.

Form: 4456P-3

Tip Top Mountain^t1²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: R Walford| OR: 90

16/1

Well held in 3 hurdles last season and again on chase/handicap debut at Stratford 3 weeks ago. Tongue tie now on and needs plenty of improvement.

Form: 41080-7

Mariners Moon³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: David Bass| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 87| C

25/1

Returned to form from out of the blue to take handicap chase over further here last month, but added to patchy record with poor run at Stratford next time. Others preferred.

Form: 865F15

Man Of The North²⁰⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Lee Edwards| T: A W Carroll| OR: 86| C

14/1

Hurdles/chase winner who shaped well over 3m here when last seen (stamina stretched) but may need this after 6 months off.

Form: 1P773-5

Age: 14| Weight: 10-6| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: H J Evans| OR: 84

25/1

It's been a long time since this veteran last tasted success, but the ability still looked to be there in 2 runs earlier this year.

Form: 5632/3-3

PENS MAN wasn't so good at Exeter but there is plenty to like about the form of his earlier wins here and at Warwick and he's worth another chance. There is probably more to come from Guetapan Collonges over fences and he's considered, while Zuckerberg surely has a race in him soon.
