David Pipe Racing Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase

Off time: 17:33 | Winning time: 6m 8.47s

Roll With It^p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Shane Fenelon| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 115

12/1

Improved model for new yard this season, running out a 10-length winner at Worcester (23f) on penultimate start. Produced another solid effort when second from his inflated mark at Warwick (3m) 17 days ago and respected as a fit, in-form rival.

Form: 531312

Rockinastorm¹⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Alice Stevens| T: H D Daly| OR: 114| D

12/1

Winless over hurdles but quickly set the record straight over fences last term, gaining a third victory at Ludlow (23.8f) in February. Just touched off back at that start on final outing at that venue in April and possibilities given he won seasonal bow last year.

Form: 1351P2-

Belgarum^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Freddie Gingell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 112

5/1

Got his act together as a chaser in recent months, taking another marked step forward when registering an emphatic success in 9-runner Plumpton handicap (19.7f) 19 days ago. That hasn't gone unnoticed by the assessor but certainly not taken lightly up in class/trip.

Form: 314U11

Good Work^p,t¹⁷⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: William Shanahan| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 112

25/1

Fair maiden chaser has long been an irresolute sort but agonisingly found only a completely unexposed rival too strong in 8-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) when last seen in the spring. Ran well on sole previous visit here but others preferred for win purposes.

Form: P22442-

Rouge De L'quest^b,t¹⁷²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 112| BF| D

17/2

Winning pointer who boasts a progressive profile over fences since blinkers/tongue tie went on, easily opening his account at Ffos Las (23.8f) in March. Good runners-up efforts over C&D/Ffos Las followed and he's very much of interest back from 6 months off.

Form: 634122-

School Days Over^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 112| BF

17/2

Opened chase account at Hereford (21f, good) last November. Placed all 4 starts since returned to hurdles, latterly when third of 14 in handicap at Worcester (23f) 25 days ago. Operating from last winning mark back over fences and he's respected.

Form: 4-P3333

Innisfree Lad^p,t¹⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 11-10| J: Finn Lambert| T: David Dennis| OR: 111| D

33/1

Veteran who confirmed he retains plenty of zest on the back of a 5-month break when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Warwick (25.4f, good) 17 days ago. That ought to have blown the cobwebs away and he's on a potentially lenient mark if arriving in same form.

Form: 62P4P-4

Airtothethrone^p,t¹⁷⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁷⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 105

12/1

Fair winning handicap chaser who bounced back to his best in first-time cheekpieces when second of 9 in handicap chase at Taunton (26.3f, good) in April. Worth noting he's tended to come on for his first run of the season previously, however.

Form: F/4F232-

Jaitroplaclasse^t1²⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Clarke⁽¹⁰⁾| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 104

33/1

Finished third on the first of his 2 starts in bumpers but lightly raced and never really threatened over hurdles for Nicky Henderson. Acquired by new connections for £7,000 in May and worth noting in the betting now chasing for a stable boasting good record with new recruits. Tongue strap on.

Form: 39/466-

Puddlesinthepark¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁶⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 94| D

17/2

Plenty of good efforts in defeat in this sphere, including when runner-up over C&D in March. However, appears to have completely lost his form in recent months, well-beaten sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Fontwell (26f, good) 17 days ago.

Form: 32-2686

Illogical Logic¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Dylan Johnston| T: Christian Williams| OR: 90

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden who has yet to make an impact in handicaps, including in pair of chase outings since returning from a break. Others much more persuasive.

Form: 473-P65

Unwanted Attention^p,t⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Ned Fox| T: R Potter| OR: 87| BF

10/1

Opened his chase account at Market Rasen (21.4f) in June. Placed next 2 starts and looked set to go very close before unluckily unseating before 2 out at Uttoxeter (3m) 5 days ago. Respected despite operating from out of the weights.

Form: 3123PU

Lock Out^p²¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Gearoid Harney⁽⁶⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 84| D

10/3

Point winner who also won bumper/novice hurdle at Newbury on his first 2 starts under Rules earlier in his career. Couldn't kick on over fences/hurdles during a light 2023/24 campaign and he looks to have work to do returning from 7 months off.

Forecasts

Lock Out (10/3), Belgarum (5/1), Illogical Logic (7/1), Rouge De L'quest (17/2), Puddlesinthepark (17/2), School Days Over (17/2), Unwanted Attention (10/1), Rockinastorm (12/1), Airtothethrone (12/1), Roll With It (12/1), Good Work (25/1), Innisfree Lad (33/1), Jaitroplaclasse (33/1)

ROUGE DE L'QUEST was much improved with blinkers and a tongue tied added last season, successful at Ffos Las in March prior to posting a pair of solid runners-up efforts. He's taken to pick up where he left off from what appeals as still being a workable mark. Belgarum and Roll With It both arrive fit and in form and could emerge as the lead threats, with School Days Over another to consider following a consistent spell over hurdles.
