Uttoxeter Ladies Day On July 28th Handicap Chase

Off time: 20:10 | Winning time: 4m 8.8s

Somewhat Cloudy³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 100WS

13/8

In good form over hurdles prior to making a winning chase bow at Market Rasen (17f, soft) in March. Creditable efforts in defeat at Wetherby and Perth since and should make her presence felt if subsequent wind op helps eke out a bit more.

Form: 34213-3

Kalyptra⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Hammond| T: M Young| OR: 90

12/1

Fair efforts initially over hurdles but hasn't made an impact for several different yards since going down the handicap route, including on chase debut at Worcester.

Form: 20F0/P-P

Glan Y Gors¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: M Weatherer| OR: 87

4/1

Hit the target off 2 lb higher at Cartmel last July and, though rather hit-and-miss since, he should at least be ready to roll following a couple of spins on the Flat. Not discounted.

Arbennig^p,t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: William Featherstone⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 79| D

11/4

Opened account in a Fakenham handicap last May and reappearance third at Ludlow was pretty encouraging. Failed to build on that next time but now 2 lb lower and he's in with a shout.

Form: 146F-34

Lonimoss Bareliere^t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: James Best| T: B R Summers| OR: 75

9/2

Good second in a Southwell handicap chase (15.8f, good to soft) in March but has failed to back that up since and record stands at 0-19 over jumps.

Form: 44255-6

Forecasts

Somewhat Cloudy (13/8), Arbennig (11/4), Glan Y Gors (4/1), Martalmix'jac (4/1), Duke Of Luckley (4/1), Lonimoss Bareliere (9/2), Kalyptra (12/1)

If able to cut out the early mistakes that put him on the back foot last time, ARBENNIG will be a serious player off a mark 6 lb below that off which he opened his chase account last May. Duke of Luckley hasn't gone on from his debut success in this sphere but it wouldn't be the biggest of surprises were he to bounce back now tried in more severe headgear. The mare Somewhat Cloudy is best of the rest.
