Totnes And Bridgetown Races Co Ltd Intermediate Hunters' Chase

Off time: 19:35 | Winning time: 6m 20.20s

Funky Sensation^t¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Chad Bament⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Helen Bament| OR: 91| D

20/1

Rules form is uninspiring and, while he has won between the flags, he didn't fire on his latest outing in that sphere. Others preferred.

Form: 2/771-44

Grove Ash¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Charlie Sprake⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs K M Sanderson| OR: 85| D

8/1

Fair hurdler but only poor form over fences. Dual point winner, runner-up last time (8½ lengths ahead of Funky Sensation, Apr 8). Not discounted.

Form: 3UU412

Jimmy Tew^p1¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Ella Herbison⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ackner

66/1

Pulled up all 3 starts in hunters and unplaced in a point last time. Makes no appeal.

Form: P53544

King's Quay^t1⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Molly Landau⁽⁷⁾| T: M Hampton| D

10/1

Dual point winner, unplaced last time (Mar 4). Can't be ruled out on first go under Rules.

Form: 3-52U15

Liberty Rock^p1,t1¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr D Edwards| T: D Summersby| D

7/1

Multiple point winner, pulled up last time (Apr 10). Likely to bounce back starting out under Rules, so worthy of consideration.

Form: 11P61P

Quintin's Man¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr D Andrews⁽⁵⁾| T: J Heard| D

5/2

Brother to a point winner. Multiple point winner, including last time (Apr 10). Makes most appeal without the benefit of market clues.

Form: 311411

Reflex Action¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Heidi Stevens⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Heidi Stevens| D

6/1

Down the field in a bumper over 4 years ago. Multiple point winner, including last time (Apr 8). Obvious player back under Rules.

Form: 1P-22P1

Honest Opinion¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Miss Charlotte Summersby⁽⁷⁾| T: D Summersby| D

16/1

Black Sam Bellamy mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Monbeg Legend. Dual point winner, runner-up last time (Apr 10). Interesting Rules newcomer.

Form: 141-P32

Walkin Out^h1¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Jake Bament⁽⁷⁾| T: L Jefford| OR: 96| D

5/2

Modest hurdler/chaser in France. Won 4 of 6 starts in points, including latest (Apr 10). One to consider if strong in the market ahead of hunter debut.

Form: 111-P51

Forecasts

Quintin's Man (5/2), Walkin Out (5/2), Reflex Action (6/1), Liberty Rock (7/1), Grove Ash (8/1), King's Quay (10/1), Honest Opinion (16/1), Funky Sensation (20/1), Jimmy Tew (66/1)

QUINTIN'S MAN has enjoyed plenty of success in points and could be the way to go in a potentially competitive event. Liberty Rock and Reflex Action, also multiple winners between the flags, should be on the premises.
