Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Conditional Jockeys' Veterans' Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:00 | Winning time: 6m 31.53s

Destiny Is All^p⁴²

Age: 10| Weight: 12-2| J: P W Wadge⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 112

11/4

Partnered by Patrick Wadge when scoring on Kelso reappearance. Bit hit and miss since but his latest Hexham fourth (Event of Sivola neck ahead in third) was creditable.

Form: P-10364

Mister Bells^p⁵⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 106

4/1

Took advantage of a much-reduced mark having his first start in veterans' company at Catterick (25f, soft) in February. Respectable third back there since.

Form: 605313

Hold The Note^t,v¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Bruce Lynn| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 103| D

11/4

Pulled up in 2 comeback runs in March but stopped the slide when third of 11 over 3m at Carlisle (heavy) 18 days ago. On a decent mark but no good thing to be in the same form again.

Form: 16-6PP3

Event Of Sivola^v⁴²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Midgley| T: M Walford| OR: 102| D

11/2

Won around 3m at Hexham and Catterick this winter. Another solid Hexham effort when third (Destiny Is All neck back in fourth) over 4m 6 weeks ago.

Form: 4121P3

Skyhill^t¹⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: Ben Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs A C Hamilton| OR: 97| D

4/1

Veteran who added to his tally at Catterick on New Year's Day. Has found things tougher since but has now returned to the mark he defied at Catterick. No surprise were he to bounce back to form with a bang.

Form: 315458

Forecasts

Destiny Is All (11/4), Hold The Note (11/4), Mister Bells (4/1), Skyhill (4/1), Event Of Sivola (11/2)

DESTINY IS ALL is hardly one for maximum faith but is more than capable off this mark if on a going day and might be worth siding with to turn around last month's Hexham placings with Event of Sivola.
