Peter Dawson Forget-Me-Not Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Won this 12 months ago and also added a win at Chepstow in October. Not disgraced in a conditions chase at Galway 16 days ago and this might have been the main aim again.

Often let down by his jumping but has transformed by a step up to 3m in recent weeks, making all at Southwell (beat Go On Chez) and Bangor (by 3½ lengths from Saint Arvans). More on his plate now bidding for the hat-trick but can't discount in current mood.

Dual handicap winner over 2½m in 2021/22 season. Lightly raced since and failed to build on his Uttoxeter third in May when pulled up in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen. Yet to prove he stays this far.

Like many from the yard he's thrived this summer, completing a hat-trick (first 2 legs over 2½m here) before an excellent second in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen. This longer trip should be within range. Big player.

Can be hard to catch right but has finished a good second in the last 2 runnings of the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter. Not at his best when fourth of 5 there last time, though.

Enjoyed a highly-productive spell small-field novice events in chases last summer before winning yet another match race at Fontwell in April. Twice a well-held fourth over hurdles at the start of the summer but he was back on track returned to chasing when third at Uttoxeter 23 days ago.

Three wins last season and even better form when runner-up around 3m at Aintree and Southwell (beaten ½ length by Brief Times) this summer. Likely to give another good account.

Struggled on joining this yard last summer but back in better form over hurdles lately. His 3 handicap chase wins have all come from higher marks than this so not discounted back over fences.

Enhanced his good strike-rate over fences when seeing off 4 rivals at Perth (3m, good) in June. Respectable fifth in Summer Plate at Market Rasen next time and good second stepped back up to 3m at Bangor since.

Veteran mare who probably isn't the force of old and ran below form again when 24½ lengths fourth of 5 to Brief Times (Go On Chez second) at Southwell last month.

Registered fourth victory of 2022 in a 4-runner Kelso handicap in October. Ended the year out of sorts, though, and returns from a 7-month break in a very competitive race.

Really got his act together in 2022, winning 4 staying handicap chases on the bounce. Patchy form since and he faces a tough task here from 9 lb out of the handicap.
