Off time: 15:36 | Winning time: 3m 58.70s

Karlie¹⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: R Patrick| T: M Scudamore| OR: 114| BF| D

6/1

Point winner who landed Exeter mares maiden hurdle on return last season. Slightly disappointing when last seen at Doncaster (carried head awkwardly) and mark looks on the stiff side for handicap/chase debut.

Form: 156/143-

Heritier^h,t³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 105| BF

3/1

Bolted up on chase debut at Market Rasen in March but failed to land the odds when only third there 8 days later. Likely remains capable of better after more of a break and he retains potential.

Form: 957213-

Ragamuffin^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 105| D

3/1

In fine form over hurdles last summer, winning back to events at Uttoxter/Newton Abbot and ran creditaly on his return last month. Consistent type is considered on chase debut.

Form: 421133-

Heronord¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 103

6/1

Late jumping errors cost him victory on first 2 starts over fences and he returned to form after a spell in the doldrums at Ffos Las last time, headed only on the run-in. Player.

Form: U553P2-

Bempton Cliffs³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Alan Johns| T: S Allwood| OR: 95

9/4

Not bred to be a chaser but he's taken extremely well to this sphere, readily making all at Market Rasen 33 days ago. Up 10 lb but will continue to give a good account,

Forecasts

Bempton Cliffs (9/4), Ragamuffin (3/1), Heritier (3/1), Heronord (6/1), Karlie (6/1)

A competitive novice handicap, with HERITIER taken to belatedly build on the promise of his winning chase debut. Sensible cases can be made for each of his rivals, with Bempton Cliffs most interesting after bolting up at Market Rasen last time. Heronord and chase-debutant Ragamuffin can fight it out for third.
