In Memory Of Simon Peacock Handicap Chase

Decent fourth in the Midlands National but has since lost his form, well held back in calmer waters at Stratford 12 days ago. Headgear on.

Fairly useful chaser who returned from 5 months off to win twice last spring but below form in 3 starts since, including after 9 months off at Perth 6 weeks ago. Headgear back on and now 4 lb below last winning mark.

Fairly useful hurdler for David Pipe. Has had 3 starts in hunter chases for current yard, getting off the mark at Newton Abbot (21f) 8 days ago. Player under a penalty back up in trip. Engaged Newton Abbot 2.20 Wednesday.

Long-standing maiden hurdler but won 3 on the spin over fences at Stratford last summer before good second there when last seen in September. Claims if ready to go.

Won a pair of rather weak contests in November 2020 before shaping amiss in his hat-trick bid. Returned from 17 months off better than ever when scoring at Worcester 4 weeks ago and big player if this doesn't come too soon.

Showed improved form to get off the mark at Perth (20.1f, good to soft) and followed up off 4 lb higher at Stratford. However, broke blood vessel at Fakenham next time before no show here since. Bit to prove back from a break.

Dual hurdles winner who finally came good over fences at Doncaster (3m) in February and backed that up with an impressive win over same C&D the following month. However, struggled off revised mark since and all to do from out of the handicap.
