BoyleSports Money Back 2nd Meeting Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:12 | Winning time: 4m 8.67s

Master Chewy¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 131| CD

11/10

Looked a different proposition as he made a winning start over fences after 6 months off in C&D novices' handicap a fortnight ago, jumping fine and impressive as he pulled clear. Surely better than a handicapper and the one to beat if improving on that as expected.

Djelo²⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 128

7/2

Winning hurdler very much the type to take to chasing for this yard. Conditions fine and one to keep an eye on.

Form: 1/12308-

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 125| C| DWS

18/1

Opened his account over fences at Ffos Las (2m) in January and backed that up from 5 lb higher mark when runner-up behind promising rival at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) next time. Player dropped in trip on return after wind op.

Ukantango²¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 124| CD

6/1

Bumper/dual novice hurdle winner (including here) who improved further when second in Cheltenham Grade 2 in November. Just the one respectable effort after but now goes chasing (placed on second of 2 starts in Irish points) and could do better.

Form: 112P30-

One Fine Man²³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: R T Dunne| T: D Carroll| OR: 123| BF| D

33/1

Thrived for switch to chasing following a lengthy absence, landing back-to-back 2m handicaps at Carlisle/Ayr in February, jumping soundly and battling well. Starts out for another new yard in a stiff-enough race after 7 months off.

Form: 14/2113-

Chanceux²⁰³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Tudor| T: A Ralph| OR: 113| D

25/1

Dual novice hurdle winner who ran well on first attempt over fences when second at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) in December and a couple of good efforts after. Returns in a tough race.

Form: 62F325-

Netywell²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: P W Wadge⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 112| D

8/1

Made all in 5-runner handicap chase at Ayr (16.5f) in January and produced another good effort on his return at Carlisle, arguably doing too much too soon. This is tougher but he's one to note.

Form: 60142-2

Lively Citizen¹⁷⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 111| D

22/1

Multiple hurdles winner who impressed when making a winning chase debut at Perth (2m) in May, jumping fine and quickening to lead close home. There could be more to come from him in this sphere.

Form: 07804-1

Tullyhogue Fort⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Phillip Enright| T: John F O'Neill| OR: 101

25/1

Won Tipperary handicap chase over further in July and continues in form. This looks hard from out of the weights, though.

Forecasts

Master Chewy (11/10), Djelo (7/2), Ukantango (6/1), Netywell (8/1), Real Stone (18/1), Fearless (20/1), Lively Citizen (22/1), Tullyhogue Fort (25/1), Chanceux (25/1), One Fine Man (33/1)

MASTER CHEWY was mightily impressive as he came clear on his first run over fences here a fortnight ago and can go in again if this doesn't come too soon. Lively Citizen looks another chaser to follow after his likeable victory at Perth in May. Netywell and Djelo are also considered.
