Pertemps Novices' Handicap Chase

Off time: 12:30 | Winning time: 4m 8.01s

Millarville³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: Mrs H O Graham| OR: 103

13/2

Dual hurdles winner for Oliver Sherwood. Yet to strike following 10 start over fences, running one of his lesser races sporting first-time blinkers at Musselburgh last month. Drops further in trip.

Form: 2-52424

Pitempton Power²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Callum Bewley| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 102

6/1

Has shown more spark since venturing down the handicap route, shaping as if better for the run after 6 months off when fifth at Ayr last month. Makes chase debut and not dismissed.

Form: 4F32-45

Just Call Me Al^t³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: G Boanas| OR: 100| D

9/2

Off the mark for the season at Sedgefield in September and career best effort when striking there last month. Yet to get his head in front over fences but he should go close in his current mood.

Form: P41431

Broomfields Kan²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 99

25/1

Point winner. Hurdles efforts haven't been devoid of promise but well held in 3 starts over fences, including on handicap debut at Hexham last month. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 3-709P0

Rollerruler²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: D R Fox| T: W Coltherd| OR: 94| D

10/11

Made a winning reappearance/yard debut off a much-reduced mark at Hexham last month, well suited by the switch to more aggressive tactics back down in trip. Up 5 lb and every chance of scoring again.

Form: 8258P-1

Don't Need To Know^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 92

11/1

Went close to breaking his duck at Newcastle (20f) in March. Looked very rusty returning on return at Sedgefield last month and not seen to best effect at Ayr next time. Mark continues to tumble.

Form: 3462-08

That's Your Lottie^h,t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: S Mulqueen| T: K Scott| OR: 72

40/1

Fourth on penultimate start at Hexham last month offered encouragement but wasn't in same form from 6 lb out of handicap 11 days later. Others preferred on chase debut.

Form: 97-6750

Forecasts

Rollerruler (10/11), Just Call Me Al (9/2), Pitempton Power (6/1), Millarville (13/2), Cellar Vie (15/2), Don't Need To Know (11/1), Broomfields Kan (25/1), That's Your Lottie (40/1)

ROLLERRULER proved better than ever to make a winning reappearance for his new yard at Hexham last month, well suited by the switch to more aggressive tactics back down in trip. This stable has done well with similar sorts in the past so he holds leading claims of following up. Just Call Me Al is in fine heart at present so he can give the selection most to think about, ahead of Millarville.
