Cally, Grant & Alex Lewis Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:25 | Winning time: 5m 17.63s

Boston Joe^t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 97| C

3/1

Better than ever after 14 months off when easily winning at Wincanton despite a typically erratic round of jumping. Needs considering up 8 lb.

Form: 11076-1

Lincoln Lyn^t²⁷⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: T R Gretton| OR: 93

7/2

Did well over fences last season and starts the new campaign only 1 lb higher than for her win at Fakenham in January. Player back down in class.

Form: 3/14133-

Royal Mer^t¹⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 93

11/4

Potentially well treated on French form but just the one decent effort since joining this yard. Back over fences after a break.

Form: 2926-45

Pageant Material¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 90| CD

9/2

C&D winner last season off 1 lb higher last season and creditable third in a handicap chase on her reappearance here (21.5f, good to soft). Ran poorly back over hurdles 2 weeks ago, however.

Form: 514-435

Boys Of Wexford²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: David Noonan| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 86

8/1

Upped his game switched to fences last season, scoring at Uttoxeter before a string of decent efforts in defeat. No worthwhile form over hurdles, including on return, but better expected back in this sphere.

Form: 81233-P

Royal Act^p³¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-3| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 72

33/1

Poor nowadays and easy to oppose after 10 months off.

Form: 55P/9P4-

Blazing Hartingo^p1¹⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 71

9/1

Looked a bit temperamental over hurdles but has a pointing background so not a forlorn hope going chasing off a lowly mark.

Form: UP-944P

Forecasts

Royal Mer (11/4), Boston Joe (3/1), Lincoln Lyn (7/2), Pageant Material (9/2), Boys Of Wexford (8/1), Blazing Hartingo (9/1), Universal Brook (12/1), Royal Act (33/1)

LINCOLN LYN held her form well over fences last season and can make a winning return back down in class. Boston Joe is the obvious threat after his easy comeback victory at Wincanton, while Royal Mer is no forlorn hope back over fences off a tempting mark.
