Gardiner Hill Foundation Enriching Lives Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:20 | Winning time: 6m 22.05s

Dee Star^p,t³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 116| D

12/1

Cartmel regular who proved better than ever when winning veterans' handicap there (29.4f) in May, his fourth course success. Needed stiffer test when fifth there last time and drops even further in distance now.

Form: 112-515

The Wrekin²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁷⁾| T: H D Daly| OR: 112

2/1

Three-time winner of novice hurdles in 2021. Missed whole of last year but mildly encouraging start to chasing career recently and isn't without a chance.

Form: 6/632-U2

Hardy Boy^p²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 109

15/8

Dual hurdles winner who opened his account over fences at the third attempt at Huntingdon in May, despite again jumping none too fluently. Respectable second at Worcester last time and is likely to feature again.

Form: 6-321P2

Seemingly So^p²²³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Patrick Cowley⁽³⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 101| C| D

14/1

Course winner who is back to a handy mark but was out of sorts when last seen 7 months ago, so others are preferred.

Form: 223840-

Croagh Patrick^b,t¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: David England| T: S England| OR: 98| D

5/2

Regularly gives his running and added another placed effort to the collection at Cartmel 15 days ago. This looks a good chance to get his head in front.

Form: 2-53222

Forecasts

Hardy Boy (15/8), The Wrekin (2/1), Croagh Patrick (5/2), Cilluirid (7/2), The Cathal Don (6/1), Dee Star (12/1), Seemingly So (14/1)

CROAGH PATRICK has been running well lately and this doesn't look a strong handicap, so he might be able to belatedly get back on the scoresheet. Hardy Boy looks the main danger and Cilluirid, an old rival of the selection, is a player if he gets the trip.
