Hang In There²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 159| CD

1/1

Produced a high-class effort to defy a BHA mark of 155 in 14-runner handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft) 28 days ago. Can make his presence felt despite a further 4 lb rise.

Form: 1152-21

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 137| C

5/1

A very useful 3m winner in May, 2023. Pulled up both runs this term though, cheekpieces on in handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft) 28 days ago. Has plenty to prove.

Form: 3P4-0PP

Monte Igueldo^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: R T Dunne| T: G Hanmer| OR: 126

3/1

Racked up a hat-trick at the end of 2022. Lightly raced since and got back on track from 9 lb out of the handicap when third of 14 to Hang In There in handicap chase at this C&D 28 days ago. Not ruled out from 7 lb "wrong" in the weights this time.

Form: 11P/4P-3

13/2

Quick to make her mark for current yard when scoring at Taunton and Wincanton early in 2024. Pulled up when tried in cheekpieces at Newton Abbot (25.8f, soft) last time though. 10 lb out of the handicap too.

Form: 2/P113-P

Dublin Four^t⁴⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Nick Slatter⁽³⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 122WS

25/1

Largely ran with credit over fences for Fergal O'Brien but off 13 months before well below both runs for his current yard. Needs a subsequent wind op to spark a resurgence.

Forecasts

Hang In There (1/1), Hometown Boy (11/4), Monte Igueldo (3/1), Kinondo Kwetu (5/1), Francky Du Berlais (6/1), Juniper (13/2), Streets Of Doyen (12/1), Exelerator Express (12/1), Go On Chez (12/1), Dublin Four (25/1)

HOMETOWN BOY was resurgent when a facile scorer at Worcester last month and can make light of a 9 lb rise in the weights here. Hang In There could emerge as the main danger on the back of his admirable recent C&D success, while both veteran Francky du Berlais and Irish-raider Streets of Doyen also need factoring into this useful handicap chase.
