Jen And Rick's Golden Anniversary Gallop Handicap Chase

Off time: 13:42 | Winning time: 5m 4.70s

El Paso Wood^b1,t³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe| OR: 120| D

6/1

Just the one win for this yard upon his transfer from France last year. Recent efforts have lacked spark but this is a slight drop in class.

Form: P22756

Coal Stock^b⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁵⁾| T: S Hosie| OR: 117

11/4

Fairly useful 19f winner over hurdles for Joe Tizzard. Not disgraced on his yard/chasing debut when fourth of 6 in a C&D handicap last month but he failed to build on that fitted with blinkers at Bangor.

Form: 1-11443

Lock's Corner^p,t³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 113| D

15/8

Stopped the slide on the back of another wind operation when second of 6 at Worcester last month. Up 3 lb but retains plenty of handicap scope now he's back in some sort of form.

Form: P76P6-2

Helford River^t⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 93| CD

2/1

Won a pair of 3-runner events on his first 2 starts over fences but profile has been patchy since.

Form: 138-264

Non-Runners

Ragamuffin²

Weight: 11-10| Age: 7

T: N P Mulholland J: Thomas Doggrell

Forecasts

Lock's Corner (15/8), Helford River (2/1), Coal Stock (11/4), Ragamuffin (11/4), El Paso Wood (6/1)

LOCK'S CORNER stopped the rot when runner-up at Worcester a month ago, and now that he's back in some sort of form, he now looks too well treated to ignore. Ragamuffin wasn't given a hard time once brushed aside at Fontwell on Thursday and is a threat if taking his chance.
