Dawn Raider^p,t¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: K Brogan⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 108| D

5/2

15/8, impressively landed 9-runner handicap chase at Leicester (22.7f) 18 days ago. Hiked up 11 lb but still looks ahead of his mark in his hat-trick bid.

Cracking Find¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 107| CD

6/1

C&D winner but he came in last of 6 in handicap chase at Doncaster (24f) 15 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 233PU6

Mystical Clouds²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Craig Nichol| T: J Butler| OR: 107| D

5/1

Arrives below par, only sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Hereford (19f) 20 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 656-P46

Shaws Bridge¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 98| D

12/1

Fair winner at 20f over hurdles but pulled up in handicap chase at Sedgefield (21.1f) 13 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: 41-25UP

Spider's Bite¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: A Nicol| OR: 95

12/1

Ungenuine type who was below-par fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Musselburgh (23.8f) 17 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Form: UP5U64

Broomfields Kan^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 95| BF

11/2

9/4, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Wetherby (15.2f) 12 days ago. Back up in trip and not ruled out in search of a first success.

Form: P03624

Six One Nine^t,v⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: C Grant| OR: 95| C

5/1

Tongue strap on when bagging 7-runner handicap chase here (16.3f) 46 days ago by 9½ lengths from Lastin' Memories. Needs to back it up now.

Form: 462751

Lastin' Memories^b¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 83| C

10/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2020, but he arrives in decent nick, fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f) 14 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Form: 27-9244

Forecasts

Dawn Raider (5/2), Barden Bella (4/1), Mystical Clouds (5/1), Six One Nine (5/1), Broomfields Kan (11/2), Cracking Find (6/1), Lastin' Memories (10/1), Spider's Bite (12/1), Shaws Bridge (12/1)

DAWN RAIDER had plenty left in the tank when a ready scorer at Leicester at the start of the month and an 11 lb rise shouldn't prove enough to stop him completing a quick hat-trick. In-form duo Barden Bella and Broomfields Kan look the two to chase home Gary Hanmer's improver in that order.
