Cazoo Search Drive Smile Handicap Chase

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 134| C

Returned to form when taking 7-runner handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f, soft) in December and creditable second at Doncaster next time. Only eighth back up in class at Uttoxeter since but this more her level.

Form: 25-6128

Frenchy Du Large²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 130

Won back-to-back 2½m handicaps at Uttoxeter and Chepstow around the turn of last year. However, jumping has been far from foot perfect in 3 starts this season so comes with risks attached.

Form: 12F-F43

Donna's Double³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 120| BF| C

Confirmed promise of chase debut when landing 6-runner handicap at Ayr (20.5f, heavy, 10/3). Well held there since, though reportedly lost a shoe. Remains unexposed.

Form: 126-316

The Ferry Master^t,v1³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Danny McMenamin| T: A M Thomson| OR: 117| CD

Progressed very well over fences during 2020/21 campaign, notably finishing fourth in that season's Scottish Grand National. Has subsequently failed to reproduce that level of form but mark continues to fall at least.

Form: 29-5P38

Glittering Love^b⁶⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-8| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| OR: 114

Largely campaigned over fences in recent seasons, and good close second of 11 in handicap chase at Kelso (26.2f, heavy) 68 days ago, sticking to task. Should go well again.

Form: 642P-62

Forecasts

Frenchy Du Large (2/1), Glittering Love (3/1), Burrows Diamond (7/2), Donna's Double (9/2), The Ferry Master (7/1)

GLITTERING LOVE probably would have won with a better round of jumping at Kelso last time and is taken to make amends. Burrows Diamond is feared most returned to a more suitable level.
