Go North Red Rum Series Final Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 16:43 | Winning time: 6m 18.97s

Magna Sam⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: S Bowen| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 122| D

12/1

Well placed by new connections to land brace of small-field handcaps over fences this winter. Up 7 lb but clearly arrives in top form.

Form: 6PP511

Mr Scrumpy³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Ryan Mania| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 117| D

11/1

Multiple hurdles winner who ran his best race over fences to date (jumped better than previously) when third at Newcastle in January. Reverted back to type with a sloppy display at Wetherby.

Form: UP-543P

Speak Of The Devil^p,t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 110| D

20/1

Scored over 3m at Hexham in June and posted another good run when second at Doncaster in January. Must cast aside a lesser display at Newcastle.

Form: 128425

Powerful Position^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 110| D

9/2

Progressive chaser who completed the hat-trick at Sedgefield 12 days ago, well on top at the finish. 10 lb rise may not prevent further success given rate of progress.

Form: 1UF111

Just Don't Know¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: Paul Robson| OR: 110| BF| D

11/2

Confirmed promise of Newcastle run when cashing in on a career-low mark at Leicester in January. Continued good work since, following up at Ayr before excellent second at Newcastle.

Form: 5P2112

Chanting Hill²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N W Alexander| OR: 109| D

10/1

Low-mileage 8-y-o who scored for the first time away from Kelso at Catterick a month ago, proving 5 lengths too strong for the re-opposing Event of Sivola. Likely to give it another good go.

Form: 1-56321

Event Of Sivola^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 104| D

14/1

Ex-French chaser who regained the winning thread at Ayr (3m) in October. Hasn't scaled same heights since, but runner-up effort to Chanting Hill was more like it.

Form: 2-14P82

No Cruise Yet^p,t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 102| C| D

3/1

Good start for new yard, recording win number 2 since December in a 26f handicap here a month ago. Up 5 lb in a deeper race but no reason why he won't give it another good shot.

Form: F12231

Kaphumor²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 99| D

5/1

Bolted up on debut for this yard at Hexham in November and better form when twice runner-up from higher marks since, latterly behind No Cruise Yet here a month ago.

Form: 52-12P2

Real Armani^t⁵⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Walton| OR: 95| D

22/1

Upped his game on back of a wind op when landing back-to-back Hexham handicaps in March. Largely creditable efforts in defeat since, but current mark leaves little margin for error.

Form: 223533

To The Limit^b⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: P W Wadge⁽⁷⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 81

50/1

Posted career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Kelso (23.4f, soft) last month. Placed twice since but they were much weaker races and he's miles out of the weights.

Form: 3U4133

Forecasts

No Cruise Yet (3/1), Powerful Position (9/2), Kaphumor (5/1), Just Don't Know (11/2), Chanting Hill (10/1), Mr Scrumpy (11/1), Magna Sam (12/1), Event Of Sivola (14/1), Speak Of The Devil (20/1), Real Armani (22/1), To The Limit (50/1)

POWERFUL POSITION arrives on a steep upward curve so a 10 lb rise may not prevent the 4-timer. Just Don't Know is also in top form so is feared most, while Chanting Hill jumped much better at Catterick last time and is a player if keeping the errors at bay again.
