Cazoo Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase

Off time: 12:53 | Winning time: 6m 13.10s

Dynamite Kentucky^b²²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Luke Scott⁽⁶⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 111| BF| D

5/1

Point/bumper winner who improved over hurdles over staying trips last term, winning 3 times. Should prove just as good over fences but might need this on return with yard still not in top gear. Often supported in the betting so the market could guide.

Gleno^b¹⁶⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁶⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 110| CD

11/1

Three-time winner in staying handicap chases in 2020-21, including over C&D. A couple of good runs last term but took a crashing fall at Haydock in April and was well beaten back over hurdles next time.

Form: 8522F-6

San Agustin^p¹⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Jay Tidball⁽⁵⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 110

7/2

Came good over fences at Leicester in December and creditable efforts all 3 starts after. Could have more to offer in his second campaign chasing.

Form: 52133-2

Faustinovick^p,t¹⁹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 107

10/3

Runner-up five times on the bounce over fences in 2020-21 but he struggled in the main last term and is still yet to win a race under Rules. Returns on a career-low mark and won't want for stamina.

Easy Bucks¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: K Brogan| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 105| BF| D

4/1

Has returned from a 14-month absence in good heart, readily making all at Perth (3m) in September and doing too much too soon at Sedgefield 17 days ago. Same mark and can go well again.

Form: 36-2213

Mr Katanga^p¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Lily Pinchin| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 100| C

11/1

Responded well to cheekpieces when off the mark in handicap chase over further here in February. Should have come on for recent return at Ffos Las and could be in the mix.

Form: 35125-6

My Bad Lucy²⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: N F Houlihan| T: N J Gifford| OR: 93| D

13/2

Point winner over 3m who cost a fair bit in 2019 and showed ability over hurdles last term. Quickly goes handicap chasing stepped up in trip for in-form yard on return and doesn't look overfaced. Interesting.

Form: 198/553-

Puppet Warrior^p⁵⁶⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: G Howell| OR: 89

80/1

Maiden hurdler/chaser. Some good runs in this sphere early in 2021 but long absence to overcome and will find easier openings.

Form: 863353/

Forecasts

Faustinovick (10/3), San Agustin (7/2), Easy Bucks (4/1), Dynamite Kentucky (5/1), My Bad Lucy (13/2), Mr Katanga (11/1), Gleno (11/1), Puppet Warrior (80/1)

MY BAD LUCY quickly goes over fences on his return and doesn't look overfaced. Staying chases were always going to be his bag and he's worth chancing. Easy Bucks remains in good form and is a big player for his local yard. San Agustin is another to consider.
