Heggs Family Handicap (Div 2)

Off time: 16:35 | Winning time: 1m 42.83s

(1)

Give It Some Teddy²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 71| D

33/1

Seventh of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Thirsk (8f, good) 24 days ago, badly hampered. Down another 2 lb but he hasn't managed to match anything like his peak turf form in 4 previous starts on the AW.

Form: 631-407

(6)

Vitralite¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: B A Curtis| T: S Woods| OR: 70| BF| D

2/1

Two wins from 4 runs this year, the latest at Yarmouth in April. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (11/4) at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Shortlist material.

Form: 80-1135

(2)

Watermelon Sugar³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 70| C

33/1

Course winner. 40/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 31 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 2-86660

(12)

Mr Fustic⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Andi Brown| OR: 70| D

9/2

5/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Kempton (8f) 41 days ago, well on top finish. 3 lb rise fair enough and it's not hard to envisage him going well again.

Form: 1174-51

(5)

Elshaameq^h1,t1²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Nolan| T: K Frost| OR: 69

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 14 in handicap at Wetherby (10f, good to firm, 16/1) 28 days ago, folding. Now tried in a hood/tongue strap and worth noting that his sole previous AW start resulted in his best effort to date.

Form: 02-00

(7)

Kaaranah^h³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 68| D

11/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 17/2) 35 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 323-006

(9)

Cabinet Maker¹⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis| T: R Menzies| OR: 68| D

50/1

7/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) when last seen in December. Back down in trip and minor place money is probably the best outcome his connections can hope for on this occasion.

Form: 048547-

(10)

Bond Boy^v³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ray Dawson| T: M Appleby| OR: 67

25/1

Three wins from 12 runs this year. Ninth of 13 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 33/1) 36 days ago. Visor back on and he needs to bounce back in a major way.

Form: 356709

(4)

Le Reveur^b²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁷⁾| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 65| D

13/2

Unreliable sort. 11/1, bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Lurking on an attractive mark and possibilities if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 76067-4

(11)

Grangeclare View⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: A French| OR: 64| D

10/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form sixth of 15 in handicap (18/1) at Pontefract (8f, heavy) 63 days ago. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 667-336

(8)

Barney's Angel²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 61

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable third of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 7/2) 29 days ago. Should pick up a race before long.

Form: 787-33

(14)

Kodebreaker¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: M Herrington| OR: 59| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in March. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 4/1) 14 days ago. Can make his presence felt.

Form: 162323

(3)

Straitouttacompton^p,t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 45| CD

100/1

Four-time C&D winner but it's been 22 runs since last win in 2021. Last of 7 in handicap (100/1) at this course (5f) 33 days ago and now moves back up in trip. 6 lb 'wrong' at the weights.

Form: 084097

Forecasts

Vitralite (2/1), Mr Fustic (9/2), Kodebreaker (11/2), Le Reveur (13/2), Grangeclare View (10/1), Kaaranah (11/1), Barney's Angel (12/1), Regal Rambler (14/1), Elshaameq (20/1), Bond Boy (25/1), Give It Some Teddy (33/1), Watermelon Sugar (33/1), Cabinet Maker (50/1), Straitouttacompton (100/1)

Though a 7-y-o, VITRALITE is unexposed on the all-weather and was successful at Chelmsford in April before following up in good style at Yarmouth later that month. He could be the answer with Ben Curtis doing the steering. The consistent Kodebreaker has continued to knock on the door since landing a C&D handicap off 3 lb lower in March and is feared most ahead of Mr Fustic. Among those likely to go off at bigger prices, Elshaameq is worth a second look.
