Fraser Cup Maiden Hunters' Chase

Off time: 17:16 | Winning time: 5m 21.40s

Ardview Boy⁹

Age: 14| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr James Waggott⁽⁷⁾| T: Wyn Morris| OR: 64

125/1

Fit from points when turning in another disappointing Rules effort at Ludlow in March and he's pretty limited.

Form: 3/241P-P

Mexican Boy⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁷⁾| T: J J O'Shea| OR: 89

9/4

Still looking for first success and has fallen the last twice in handicap company. Hunter debut for new yard.

Form: 5255FF-

Pillowman^v1⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Christopher Furness⁽⁷⁾| T: J Teal

22/1

Has had some success in the pointing field but jumping left plenty to be desired only start over the regulation fences in May 2021.

Form: 32F-14P

So Be It^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Nick Orpwood⁽³⁾| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 100

6/1

Maiden pointer but heavily backed at big prices and should probably have won at Perth 12 ago, idling and collared close home. Can make amends.

Form: P43R-42

The Creadan Rogue⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Huw Edwards⁽⁷⁾| T: J J O'Shea

10/3

Limited impact in 4 starts for Gordon Elliott but he's a multiple-point winner and has warmed up for this with a runner-up effort between the flags.

Form: 1PPR1-2

Tanora⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Power⁽⁷⁾| T: A C Wilson| OR: 75

14/1

Added to tally between the flags last week but her Rules form is uninspiring.

Form: P12P-U1

Walkin Out^h²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Jake Bament⁽⁷⁾| T: L Jefford| OR: 92

85/40

Five wins from 7 outings in points confirm she possesses her share of ability. Failed to meet market expectations when fourth at Exeter last month but better expected here.

Form: 1/P514-1

Forecasts

Walkin Out (85/40), Mexican Boy (9/4), The Creadan Rogue (10/3), So Be It (6/1), Tanora (14/1), Pillowman (22/1), Ardview Boy (125/1)

SO BE IT came agonisingly close to landing a gamble at Perth 12 days ago, idling having looked in control and collared on the post. That was a much-improved display and a repeat of that level should be enough. Walkin Out's record in points is a good one and she's feared most.
