Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase

Off time: 12:05 | Winning time: 6m 37.02s

Mance Rayder^b¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Tom Midgley| T: H Hogarth| OR: 107| CD

11/1

C&D winner who got back on track dropped markedly in grade when second of 7 in handicap chase at Newcastle (23.4f, good) 16 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Well in the mix with a repeat.

Form: 266-562

Zoffalee^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Aaron Anderson| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 105

18/1

Runner-up 4 times this season but made hard work of things when fourth at Newcastle (23.4f) 16 days ago.

Form: 224244

Blame The Game^p³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: C Gordon| OR: 105| D

5/2

Resumed winning ways with any amount in hand back over fences in 4-runner handicap at Fontwell (26f, good) 38 days ago. 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up.

Form: 481-141

Lord Sparky^b,t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: S Edmunds| OR: 105| BF

11/4

Made winning return/yard debut over fences at Huntingdon in October, overcoming some indifferent jumping in the process. Failed to justify support back over hurdles at Huntingdon but wasn't disgraced and should continue in form.

Form: 42-2313

Stop The World^p,t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 104

150/1

Retains little ability based on the evidence of his 2 starts this season. Easily passed over.

Form: P24UPP

Bring The Action²⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Tom Buckley| T: N J Hawke| OR: 102WS

9/2

Point winner who got off the mark at the third attempt over fences at Wetherby in January, jumping well and showing a willing attitude. Disappointing at Market Rasen and Chepstow thereafter, so bounce back called for on this return to action. Had had a breathing operation.

Form: 4F3154-

Quiet Flow^p1,t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Lewis Stones| T: S England| OR: 83

10/3

Ran too badly too be true when pulled up in handicap chase (4/1) at Newcastle (23.4f, soft) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Sort to bounce back.

Form: 3-5623P

Old Page⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Thomas Willmott| T: A Sadik| OR: 82

50/1

Well held in maiden hurdles and was probably flattered when not beaten far on chasing debut at Cartmel in August. Tailed off completed start since then and looks set for another struggle.

Form: 95735F

Forecasts

Blame The Game (5/2), Lord Sparky (11/4), Quiet Flow (10/3), Bring The Action (9/2), Mance Rayder (11/1), Zoffalee (18/1), Old Page (50/1), Stop The World (150/1)

BLAME THE GAME resumed winning ways with any amount in hand at Fontwell 38 days ago and a 5 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent the follow up on that evidence. Lord Sparky is not long with his current yard and ought to give another good account back over fences, with Mance Rayder also feared following a good effort at Newcastle recently.
