Molson Coors Cavendish Cup Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 15:25 | Winning time: 6m 20.70s

Streets Of Doyen^b,t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Adrian Heskin| T: J C McConnell| OR: 137

3/1

Winning start over fences at Galway last summer and produced just about his best subsequent effort in this sphere when 17½ lengths fourth of 16 to Jerrysback at Uttoxeter in June. Acquitted himself well back hurdling last time, but probably still a shade too high in the weights.

Form: 3P6-U42

Rapid Flight⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Charlotte Jones⁽³⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 131| CD

2/1

Thriving on his racing for new yard, making it four wins from five starts (beaten only a nose other occasion) under this rider/at this venue when proving ½-length too strong for All About Joe in a C&D match last month. Nudged up just 1 lb and another bold show anticipated.

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: James Moffatt| OR: 128| CD

15/2

Winning pointer who is 5-7 over fences here, which includes a narrow verdict in this race 12 months ago. Appeared to find 21f too sharp on latest chase start (unseated rider over hurdles since), but current mark probably sums him up in any case and regular pilot Charlotte Jones prefers Rapid Flight.

Form: 111-16U

The Vollan^t,v⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: B S Hughes| T: L Morgan| OR: 123| BF

10/3

In fine fettle back over fences in recent months, bagging three Southwell handicap chases at around 3m on good/good to firm. Turned over when odds on for a match at Worcester last week, but he's a big player all the same.

Form: 412112

All About Joe⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: D R Fox| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 119| C

6/1

Successful start over fences when beating Rapid Flight by a whisker over 21f here in June. Only beaten ½-length by that rival in a match over C&D last time and 2 lb better off with that rival now, but he doesn't look the easiest of rides.

Form: 05-F152

Dolly Dancer^t⁵⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 107

22/1

Won at Hexham in June and ran at least as well when second there 15 days later. Poor effort at Worcester last time, though, and she looks up against from 9 lb out of the handicap here.

Forecasts

Rapid Flight (2/1), Streets Of Doyen (3/1), The Vollan (10/3), Jerrysback (7/2), All About Joe (6/1), Dressedforsuccess (15/2), Dolly Dancer (22/1)

Though his jumping has often let him down in the past, JERRYSBACK barely put a foot wrong when landing a valuable listed handicap at Uttoxeter last time. The resurgent 10-y-o was successful here on his penultimate start, too (sole previous visit to this track), and a third win on the bounce is entirely possible, provided he is able to keep it together jumping-wise. The Vollan and Rapid Flight are both enjoying highly productive campaigns and are feared most in that order of preference.
