Charles Peters Recruitment Handicap Chase

Off time: 20:00 | Winning time: 7m 7.80s

Ask A Honey Bee^b⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 128

9/2

Useful but his jumping and attitude are become increasing concerns. Surely capable of posing a threat down in grade from current mark, but whether he allows himself to do so is a different question.

Form: 221P2F-

Forgot To Ask^t¹⁶⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 127

14/1

Won at Market Rasen last spring and was placed twice in the autumn. Has a good record fresh and isn't discounted despite a stiff-looking mark.

Form: 1/1022P-

Dhowin¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Henry Brooke| T: W Greatrex| OR: 125

2/1

Got off the mark over fences in comfortable fashion at Fontwell earlier this month. Up 6 lb but very much appeals as the type to have a productive summer and set to go well again.

Form: 332P2-1

El Paso Wood^t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Philip Armson⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 124

5/1

Stiff tasks on last 3 outings, performing with most credit when fourth in the Midlands National. Had a busy couple of months but should prove capable in this company.

Form: 23P4PP-

Danny Whizzbang^p,t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Reed| T: M F Harris| OR: 122

4/1

Down in the weights when getting off the mark for this yard at Huntingdon in April. Not seen to best effect over hurdles since but remains with clear handicapping scope back up in trip.

Form: 5P821-6

Beatthebullet^p³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 122

17/2

Made a winning start over fences at Exeter in November but largely poor since and again showed little at Cheltenham last time. Something to find on form.

Form: 2/15P4P-

Templehills^t⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 120| C

16/1

Veteran who scored over C&D in October (only other win since 2018 also came here). Typically sketchy jumping an issue again when coming down here on return but can't be discounted turned out quickly given course record.

Form: F/7518-F

Forecasts

Dhowin (2/1), Danny Whizzbang (4/1), Ask A Honey Bee (9/2), El Paso Wood (5/1), Beatthebullet (17/2), Forgot To Ask (14/1), Templehills (16/1)

DHOWIN very much appeals as the type to win more races this summer and can follow up his Fontwell success. El Paso Wood is another who can go well back in these calmer waters, whilst Ask A Honey Bee surely has enough ability to figure from this mark if on a going day.
