Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap Chase

Off time: 16:31 | Winning time: 5m 51.71s

Trevelyn's Corn^p1,t¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 100| D

9/2

Eleven runs since his last win in 2019 for Paul Nicholls but he got back on track when second of 11 to Ex S'elance in handicap chase at this C&D 14 days ago, despite going in snatches. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly.

Form: 22-4P52

Pileup^p1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 99| BF

10/3

Fair maiden hurdler who made an encouraging start in this sphere after two early mistakes when second of 6 in handicap at Market Rasen (21.4f, soft) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Player nudged up just 1 lb.

Form: 4-24722

En Meme Temps^p,t⁶⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Coltherd| T: S Corbett| OR: 94

9/1

Fair 19f winner over hurdles but not gone on from a promising start over fences, only seventh at Catterick for his new yard in January. More is needed after a break.

Form: 346-437

Ex S'elance^p⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Thomas Dowson| T: V Thompson| OR: 82| CD

15/2

C&D winner but he was pulled up in handicap at Sedgefield later in March. Unreliable sort.

Form: 30111P

Broomfields Kan^t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 79

5/1

Winner between the flags but he remains a maiden after 17 runs. Fading third in 3m handicap here 14 days ago so not discounted now reverted in trip with tongue strap back on.

Form: 5P-8353

Shoughall's Boy^p⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: H Graham & G Rutherford| OR: 77| CD

15/2

Fair winning hurdler in 2021. Yet to translate that form in four runs over fences, cheekpieces on when sixth in handicap at Musselburght last time. Needs a big step forward.

Form: 39-7546

Get Going^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: D R Fox| T: M Walford| OR: 75

4/1

Failed to make an impact over hurdles and also made a discouraging start sent chasing over C&D a fortnight ago, well held when brought down last. Others make more appeal.

Form: P-8077B

Forecasts

Pileup (10/3), Get Going (4/1), Trevelyn's Corn (9/2), Broomfields Kan (5/1), Ex S'elance (15/2), Shoughall's Boy (15/2), En Meme Temps (9/1), The White Volcano (33/1)

Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for PILEUP to build on an encouraging Market Rasen debut second in this sphere and gain his breakthrough success. Trevelyn's Corn is feared most on the back of his good recent C&D second, especially if the fitting of cheekpieces ekes out some improvement. Broomfields Kan appeals as the pick of the remainder now he drops back in trip.
