Extech Cloud - Humanising IT Novices' Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:53 | Winning time: 4m 18.17s

Millies Mite^t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: K Jewell| OR: 94

11/2

Claims on pick of her Irish hurdles efforts but well held in 3 runs for new yard (had a wind op during that time). Hopes rest on the switch to fences.

Form: 454884

Uberman³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: K Davis| OR: 92

7/4

Left hurdles form behind to make winning start over fences at Lingfield in December. Would probably have followed up had rider not lost his whip here a month ago (19.8f) so he has to be of interest.

Form: P46172

Richie Valentine^p,t¹²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Chris Ward⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 91| DWS

17/2

Won a brace of handicaps at Bangor during the second half of 2021 but his profile has an all-or-nothing look to it, possibly amiss when pulling up back at that venue in December. Since had a breathing op.

Form: 1F5P2P

Duneomeno⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 85| BF

15/8

Showed much improved form when off the mark on chase/handicap debut at Ludlow (2m) in February. Failed to cash in on a lower hurdles mark a week later but given a break since and likely to resume progress.

Form: 0-66814

Devious Dicks Dame^h²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: A Irvine| OR: 70| C

15/2

Gained breakthrough success in a selling handicap hurdle here in November 2020, but overall profile is hardly compelling and she now switches to the larger obstacles.

Form: 1525-P4

Forecasts

Uberman (7/4), Duneomeno (15/8), Millies Mite (11/2), Devious Dicks Dame (15/2), Richie Valentine (17/2)

DUNEOMENO might have found the Taunton race over hurdles coming too soon on the back of his chase win at Ludlow and given a break and returned to the larger obstacles, he may well resume his progress. Uberman is the obvious threat.
