bet365 Handicap Chase

Off time: 16:25 | Winning time: 4m 27.8s

Lucky Flight^t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 111| C

6/1

It's now eleven runs since his last win, but he's running well, fourth of 7 in 2m handicap at Musselburgh 27 days ago. Ought to be competitive again.

Form: 8342U4

Here We Have It^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Lewis Dobb⁽⁷⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 109

7/2

Got off the mark in 2m handicap chase at Leicester 16 days ago, suited by the emphasis on stamina. 4 lb higher now but he's still low mileage and needs considering.

Form: 2-63421

Anightinlambourn³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 103

9/1

Fair 2m winner over hurdles, but she performed below that level on her chasing bow when fifth of 12 in 20f handicap at Leicester 39 days ago. Needs to step forward.

Form: 6-34P35

Fourth Of July^t⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Ryan Mania| T: R M Smith| OR: 92| CD

7/2

Landed this contest 12 months ago, and he should strip fitter for his recent eighth over hurdles here after a lay-off. Highly respected.

Form: 237558

Wheelbahri⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 90| D

5/2

Jumped better than is often the case when bagging 2m handicaps at Catterick and Sedgefield last month. Has a career-high mark to overcome now but he remains high on the shortlist.

Form: F3U211

Lastin' Memories^b²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 86| CD

6/1

C&D winner who possibly found the race coming too soon when fourth of 5 to The Big Jetaway at Sedgefield (17f) 24 days ago. No forlorn hope eased 2 lb now.

Form: P27-924

Forecasts

The Big Jetaway (2/1), Wheelbahri (5/2), Fourth Of July (7/2), Here We Have It (7/2), Six One Nine (9/2), Lucky Flight (6/1), Lastin' Memories (6/1), Anightinlambourn (9/1)

Half of this field arrive on the back of wins, but it's still impossible to ignore THE BIG JETAWAY who created an excellent impression when going in at the first time of asking over fences at Sedgefield and still looks well ahead of his mark. Hat-trick seeking Wheelbahri is feared most now he has ironed out his jumping issues, although Here We Have It can have a say too.
