Racing TV Handicap Chase

Off time: 16:00 | Winning time: 4m 52.5s

Out The Glen^p1¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 12-1| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 101| CD

8/1

Three-time winner in 2021-22 and largely acquitted himself well in defeat last term. Never landed a blow on heavy ground at Uttoxeter latest but handicapper has cut him some slack and he could be a player in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 1/3F26-5

Lough Carra^p⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: G Sheehan| T: J Candlish| OR: 92

7/2

Plenty of size about him and finished runner-up 4 times during the autumn. Last couple of efforts were underwhelming but has experience in points and is worth monitoring in the market on chase debut.

Form: 22234P-

Stamina Chope⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts| OR: 87

10/1

Now 5 lb lower than when scoring at Sedgefield (21f) last spring but is proving hard to catch right, beaten 3 out at Wincanton last time. Claims if on going day.

Form: 1/33635-

Glebe Road^t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: J Mackie| OR: 83

12/1

Winning pointer who was only modest at best over hurdles and has yet to make an impact in a trip of outings in this sphere.

Form: 455/P7P-

Letsbe Avenue^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 82

4/1

Quickly off the mark over jumps for this yard at Taunton (18.2f) in December, albeit rather fortunate. Been rather in and out since but far from disgraced at Ludlow latest and figures off a handy mark.

Form: 4/1U2P-4

Cloudy Wednesday^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: C Fryer| OR: 79

7/2

Got off the mark at Fakenham (21.2f) in February and made the frame in 4 of his next 5 starts. Needs to bounce back from below-par effort last time, however.

Form: 223P4-5

Agent Saonois^p,t⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 70

8/1

Won over hurdles at Uttoxeter (15.8f) last summer and ran to similar level when third in Taunton handicap chase (18.2f) in November. May have needed last month's Plumpton return but others more appealing. 4 lb out of the weights.

Form: 52U83P-

Guttural^t³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Bannister| T: P Taylor| OR: 69

7/1

Point winner in April 2021 but he's 0-18 under Rules and is best watched from 5 lb out of the handicap.

Form: P654/PP-

Forecasts

Cloudy Wednesday (7/2), Lough Carra (7/2), Letsbe Avenue (4/1), Guttural (7/1), Out The Glen (8/1), Agent Saonois (8/1), Stamina Chope (10/1), Glebe Road (12/1)

LETSBE AVENUE is back on his last winning mark and ran respectably at Ludlow last time. He gets the nod in a race which may not take a great deal of winning. Out The Glen and Stamina Chope can also make their presence felt.
