Cazoo Handicap Chase

Off time: 19:04 | Winning time: 6m 8.30s

Blueberg^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 96

16/1

Some fair efforts to his name over timber but had started to lose his way, pulled up on his last two outings. Not much promise on initial chase starts, either.

Form: 7/3PP3-5

Fanamix⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 94| D

8/1

Modest maiden hurdler who has shown little in 2 starts over fences. Fared no better when eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle here (23.9f) in February, so has enough to prove now back chasing for new yard.

That's Me⁶⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: J E Moore| T: D Faulkner| OR: 92| D

50/1

Winning pointer shaped as if amiss on sole chase start under rules (sole start for Kerry Lee). Lots to prove back under rules for new yard.

Form: 85/51P3-

Out For Justice^t³³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price| OR: 89| BF| DWS

13/2

Mark continues to slide and there's only been minor promise in his last 3 outings, despite reaching the frame on each occasion. Nevertheles, this is a very weak race and he holds place claims again.

Form: 53542-4

Give Us A Swig^t⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Jack Tudor| T: S Curran| OR: 83| D

4/1

By far best show over fences came when second in 17-runner C&D event in February. Looked one ahead of his mark on that occasion, and though he's not built on that effort, the return to Ffos Las makes him of some interest.

Form: 352597-

Flames Of Passion^p⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 80

22/1

Disappointing hurdler and made an inauspicious start over fences when last of 9 at Warwick 42 days ago, going badly in snatches. Best avoided.

Form: 666959-

Friary Land^b²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 78| D

10/3

Scored in points at the ninth attempt and has looked one paced when making frame on both starts over fences under rules. A replication of those efforts brings him into play in a very poor event.

Form: 44424-1

Mr Woody^b²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 77

3/1

Poor maiden hurdler (placed in handicap last summer) attracted support but looked rusty on stable debut 25 days ago. Yard known for improving horses and might be worth chancing on chase debut.

Form: P07/27-5

Baily Gorse^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Jack Martin⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss L Blackford| OR: 74

9/1

Long-standing maiden ran bit better for while when second at Exeter on penultimate outing but failed to repeat that last time and looks opposable for win purposes again.

Form: PP062-6

Forecasts

Mr Woody (3/1), Friary Land (10/3), Give Us A Swig (4/1), Out For Justice (13/2), Fanamix (8/1), Baily Gorse (9/1), Blueberg (16/1), Flames Of Passion (22/1), That's Me (50/1)

MR WOODY now represents a fine yard and is taken to make a successful chasing debut in a very winnable race. Friary Land and Out For Justice have been running near their best recently and also hold claims, whilst Give Us A Swig is also intriguing on return to the venue of his best performance.
