Urbano By Symphony Novices' Handicap Chase

Off time: 16:23 | Winning time: 4m 23.0s

Beauty To Behold^h²²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 98

16/1

Made all when successful on second start in points. Still a maiden under Rules but went close on handful of occasions over hurdles last summer and her reappearance run 22 days ago following a layoff ought to have blown the cobwebs away ahead of switch to this sphere. Yard in good form.

Form: 23327-9

Isholo Du Vivien⁶^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 90| D

9/4

Point winner who showed promise on 3 of his 4 starts over hurdles and all the better for chase debut effort when running out a ready winner from the front at Stratford (17f) last Saturday. Big shout turned out under a penalty.

Form: 3335-41

Conquer The Breeze^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 96

17/2

Showed modest form in 2 maidens on the Flat for A. Slattery and similar form over hurdles for this yard, best effort yet when second at Hexham (16.2f) last month. Too free back there 17 days ago but has the physique/demeanour to think he can do better in this sphere.

Form: 365-26

Don Occhetti^p1⁸⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 95

2/1

Presenting gelding who displayed minor promise only outing in bumpers but little solid form in handful of hurdle starts since the turn of the year. Represents leading yard so he's not one to write off now sent chasing and market confidence would look significant. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 846970-

Uncle Mac^h,t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: H Burns| OR: 91

28/1

Unplaced on completed start in points. Hinted at ability over hurdles for Ben Pauling/Rose Dobbin without threatening in recent months and now starts out over fences for new stable. Probably best watched unless market vibes indicate otherwise.

Form: F67/34-6

Hooky Street^b,t1²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H Dickin| OR: 83

11/2

Maiden who went with zest equipped with blinkers when third of 11 in handicap chase at Exeter (17.5f) in April. However, headgear not had desired effect in pair of starts since, brushed aside from 3 out at Fontwell 22 days ago. Tongue tie added now.

Form: 7/P53-P6

Clean Getaway^p⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 70

8/1

Still winless over hurdles but returned following an unsuccessful spell in points with a creditable fourth at Sedgefield (16.8f) in May. Not disgraced when filling same spot at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) 9 days ago but switch to chasing needs to have positive effect.

Form: P36P-44

Invincible Wish¹⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: S-J Davies| OR: 68

50/1

Veteran who went close in this sphere at Stratford in June 2022 but he hasn't made much of an impact in 4 starts since returning from 18 months off in January. Work to do operating from 4 lb out of the weights.

Form: 2P/06-65

Forecasts

Don Occhetti (2/1), Isholo Du Vivien (9/4), Hooky Street (11/2), Clean Getaway (8/1), Conquer The Breeze (17/2), Beauty To Behold (16/1), Uncle Mac (28/1), Invincible Wish (50/1)

ISHOLO DU VIVIEN left his chase debut form well behind when running out an authoritative winner of a 7-runner handicap chase from the front at Stratford 6 days ago and the manner of that success suggests he can make a bold bid to defy a penalty. Others with chase experience have something to prove so the principal dangers could emerge in the shape of Beauty To Behold, Conquer The Breeze and Don Occhetti.
