Corrie Cup Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:16 | Winning time: 6m 34.50s

One True King^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 131| C

17/2

Resumed winning ways back over fences after 5 months off in 5-runner handicap at Market Rasen (21.4f) in September. Brushed aside over the National fences last month and now back up in trip in an easier race.

Form: 461-018

Laskalin³¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 128WS

6/4

Ex-French winner who shaped well until his stamina ebbed away over 28.8f at Lingfield in January. Off since but yard firmly among the winners now.

Form: 73/6725-

Forgot To Ask^p1,t¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 128| D

12/1

Resumed with a win at Stratford (27.5f) in May and posted a creditable second after 4 months off in 3m Chepstow handicap last month. This veteran has no margin for error from this mark.

Form: 2P-1325

Sam Barton^t⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 125

11/4

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who was better than ever when making winning return to action at Worcester last month. 5 lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold follow-up bid up in trip.

Form: 43233-1

Tide Times¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams| OR: 122| C

11/1

Dual 3m chase winner at this venue in March. Looked rusty on reappearance over hurdles but should be spot on fitness-wise for this return to larger obstacles.

Form: 4211-60

Marettimo³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 112| C

18/1

Made it 3 from 5 over fences when scoring in cosy fashion at Ffos Las in April. Pulled up on last month's reappearance but he very likely needed that and his profile overall is a positive one.

Form: 13311-P

Volcano^p,t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Ben Jones| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 112| C

6/1

Warwick winner in March and now just 2 lb above that mark courtesy of a low-key return to action in recent weeks. Should be spot on fitness-wise for this so not ruled out.

Form: 3P17-86

Forecasts

Laskalin (6/4), Sam Barton (11/4), Volcano (6/1), Reserve Tank (15/2), One True King (17/2), Tide Times (11/1), Forgot To Ask (12/1), Marettimo (18/1)

SAM BARTON was expertly prepared to make a successful reappearance at Worcester last month and with this step up in trip likely to suit, he rates the most persuasive option. Marettimo almost certainly needed the run on his return and much better is expected here, with Laskalin also of interest on his comeback.
