Cazoo Conditional Jockeys' Veterans' Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:40 | Winning time: 6m 23.10s

Soupy Soups^v1¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: Hugh Nugent| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 115| C| D

4/1

Another in this line-up who is well treated on old form but there was no indication that he's likely to take advantage of his reduced mark any time soon at Huntingdon 12 days ago. Change of headgear.

Form: 0P-PP83

Petite Power³⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 11-11| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 113| C| D

11/5

Majority of last season's efforts were below par and offered little having re-joined this yard at Cheltenham on return last month, though might have needed it (easy to back). Becoming well treated.

Form: PP2-870

Creative Inerta^p,t¹¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: Ben Clarke| OR: 109| D

9/4

Clearly retains plenty of ability after long absence judged on this year's efforts, subsequently promoted in Stratford hunter. Creditable third at Exeter 11 days ago and this looks a good opportunity.

Form: P-31333

Fingerontheswitch^p²²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Kieren Buckley| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 107| D

4/1

Veteran chaser who continues to fall in the weights without showing much sign of taking advantage, readily brushed aside at Wetherby last month.

Form: 0-487P4

Good Man Vinnie¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: P Henderson| OR: 102| C| D

12/1

Off over 3 years prior to being pulled up in Fontwell handicap hurdle and fared little better there 16 days ago. Plenty to prove back chasing.

Form: 1107/P5

Forecasts

Petite Power (11/5), Creative Inerta (9/4), Soupy Soups (4/1), Fingerontheswitch (4/1), Good Man Vinnie (12/1)

A good opportunity for low-mileage 11-y-o CREATIVE INERTA, who is the only one to arrive in decent form. Petite Power might have needed her comeback at Cheltenham and is feared most back down in class.
