Neu-Servo Electronic Repair Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:01 | Winning time: 4m 59.87s

Al Roc^p,t¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 12-2| J: Philip Armson⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 127| D

4/1

This veteran has been in really good form in recent weeks, making it 3 wins in his last 4 starts when forging 12 lengths clear at Uttoxeter 10 days ago. Raised another 6 lb but he merits plenty of respect in his current mood.

Form: 32-1181

Ornua^p,t²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: G Howell| OR: 122| D

66/1

One-time smart chaser in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead but nowhere near as good nowadays, finishing a tailed-off fifth to the reopposing Al Roc at Fakenham last time.

Form: 3899-35

Ashoka^t²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 120| BF

4/1

Enjoyed a revival over hurdles this spring, completing a hat-trick. Creditable third at Uttoxeter latest and he certainly has handicapping scope on best chase form now going back over the larger obstacles.

Form: 8711-13

Due Reward^p,t²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Paul O'Brien| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 120

12/1

Useful hurdler/chaser on his day in Ireland, but profile is rather hit and miss and he was a remote fourth back chasing at Stratford last month. Others arrive with more compelling claims.

Form: 09290-4

Templehills^t²⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-8| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 119| D

33/1

Veteran who scored at Stratford last autumn but he hasn't been in anything like the same form in his 3 outings since.

Form: 7518-FP

La Domaniale¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 117| D

2/1

Fair hurdler who improved immediately for fences when winning with a bit up her sleeve at Utrtoxeter 17 days ago, jumping accurately and travelling strongly. 7 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop her with further progress likely.

Form: 54/643-1

Planned Paradise²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 113| BF

11/4

Largely progressive over hurdles last term (won at Newcastle in December). Good second on C&D chase debut but no more than a respectable fourth at Huntingdon since.

Form: 6124-24

Forecasts

La Domaniale (2/1), Planned Paradise (11/4), Ashoka (4/1), Al Roc (4/1), Due Reward (12/1), Templehills (33/1), Ornua (66/1)

There was a lot to like about LA DOMANIALE's Uttoxeter chase debut success and she can follow up with improvement on the cards. Ashoka has been in good form over hurdles of late and is arguably even better over fences so he's a threat. Al Roc also merits respect as he goes in search of a fourth win of the season.
