Racing To Get Away Handicap Chase

Off time: 18:02 | Winning time: 4m 16.93s

First Revolution⁸⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 100| D

12/1

Three-time winner at Sedgefield last summer and as good as ever when resuming winning ways at Hexham 88 days ago. Has a good strike rate for one at this level so needs considering.

Form: 8145-21

Ben Buie¹⁸⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: M Keighley| OR: 95

12/1

Winner 3 of his last 4 starts before pulled up at Leicester. Freshened up since so could well bounce back.

Form: 21311P-

Gambie Tiep³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 89| BF

7/4

Only poor hurdler/chaser for Sarah-Jayne Davies but has looked an entirely different proposition for this yard, scoring over fences at Uttoxeter and hurdles at Perth. Failed to land odds at Worcester since but was having third run in 10 days. Can bounce back.

Form: 95P-114

Going Mobile^p,t⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 88| C

12/1

Successful 3 times last season but has run lamentably on 3 out of 4 starts since.

Form: 51P-53P

Pittsburg^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁵⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 87

5/1

Left previous chase efforts behind when justifying support in emphatic fashion at Perth 17 days ago. That was only his third start over fences so could well follow up.

Form: 062-541

Gone In Sixty^p,t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 84

7/2

Remains a maiden though latest second at Worcester was his best effort over hurdles yet. Makes chase debut.

Form: 239-352

Punches Cross^p¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Benjamin Macey⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 81

12/1

Useful handicap chaser at best for Joseph Patrick O'Brien but form has gone the wrong way for his current trainer. Mark tumbling but can only be of interest if the market vibes are positive.

Form: 4P7-494

Uncle O^t⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: C Hobson| OR: 72| CD

18/1

One win from 29 NH runs and 16 runs since last win in 2021. Ran poorly at Southwell last time and others preferred.

Form: 333-235

My Boy Grizzle^h,t³²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: C Ellam| OR: 72

125/1

No form over hurdles and easily passed over on chase bow.

Form: 4/5P-PU

Blackjacktennessee^p²³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 69

20/1

Long-standing maiden who makes no appeal from out of the handicap.

Form: 4-U43PP

Non-Runners

Ensel Du Perche²⁸

Weight: 10-10| Age: 9

T: Mrs Stella Barclay J: David Noonan

Forecasts

Gambie Tiep (7/4), Gone In Sixty (7/2), Ensel Du Perche (9/2), Pittsburg (5/1), First Revolution (12/1), Going Mobile (12/1), Ben Buie (12/1), Punches Cross (12/1), Uncle O (18/1), Blackjacktennessee (20/1), My Boy Grizzle (125/1)

PITTSBURG justified support at Perth and the way he scooted clear suggests he can defy a 9 lb rise. Gambie Tiep can be expected to get back on track after a short break, while last-time-out winners Ensel du Perche and First Revolution make this a competitive race for the grade.
