Fudge Bassett Memorial Handicap Chase

Off time: 16:35 | Winning time: 6m 57.82s

Galop Du Bosc^b,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 100

4/1

40/1 and blinkered for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, second of 15 in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f, soft) 16 days ago. Well treated and stable has been amongst the winners lately, so makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 3P5792

Kym Eyre^p1¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 95

9/2

Yet to win a race of any type under Rules but this former point winner raised her game when a clear second on her second start in this sphere at Taunton last month. Not quite in same form next time but cheekpieces could perk her up.

Form: 554623

Kings Krackertara^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford| OR: 80

5/1

Failed to progress over hurdles but stepped up on previous chasing efforts when fourth at Chepstow 16 days ago. On a dangerous mark and may do better still in this sphere.

Form: 477-0P4

Entre Deux^p²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Henderson| OR: 80

9/1

Remains a maiden and, after 11 months off, went with little encouragement when pulled up over timber at Hereford (19.7f) in January. Similar story on chasing debut at Plumpton and has plenty to prove.

Form: PFP2-PP

Dysania^p²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Jordan Nailor| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 76| BF

6/1

Maiden hurdler/chaser who was pulled up at Hexham last time. Had previously shown signs of encouragement and he's not long with this yard.

Form: 0-P334P

Via Dante^b¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 76

11/2

Maiden pointer who has made little impact in varied events over hurdles. Fell on chase debut at Chepstow last time, so hard to make a case for.

Form: 88777F

Lakeside Lad^b¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Bradley Harris⁽⁷⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 70

4/1

Stopped the slide back over fences when second of 5 in handicap chase at Wincanton on penultimate start but failed to back it up at Plumpton last time. Up against it from out of the weights.

Forecasts

Lakeside Lad (4/1), Galop Du Bosc (4/1), Kym Eyre (9/2), Kings Krackertara (5/1), Vetoncall (5/1), Via Dante (11/2), Dysania (6/1), Entre Deux (9/1)

GALOP DU BOSC bounced back to form in first-time blinkers and a tongue strap at Chepstow last time and, in quite a weak race, he makes most appeal. Kings Krackertara is an obvious threat if she can build on her latest effort, and first-time cheekpieces look a plus for Kym Eyre.
