bet365 Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:00 | Winning time: 5m 28.00s

Tom Creen^t¹³⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: S England| OR: 105| BF| CD

5/1

Back-to-back winner here last season, including on comeback in this race. Held form well after and excuses on final run. Should go well.

Form: 12323-4

Zwicky¹⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Joe Williamson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 101| CD

7/2

Multiple hurdles winner last year and positive start in this sphere when 3 lengths third in a Hexham handicap in May. Failed to complete on his second go over fences there the following month but worth another chance.

Form: 3P39-3U

Faha Belle¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Fern O'Brien⁽⁶⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 95

11/4

Irish point winner who often gives her running but is 0-12 under Rules. Should make a chaser at least.

Form: 8-22264

Goodtimes Badtimes^p⁹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Lewis Dobb⁽⁶⁾| T: A M Thomson| OR: 95

11/2

Modest winner at 24f over hurdles and similar form 3 starts over fences this summer, though not seen since being treated for post-race heat stress in July. On a workable mark in this sphere.

Form: 12/9-433

The Paddy Pie¹⁶⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 87| C

16/1

Hinted at a revival when fourth of 12 in a Doncaster handicap in December but followed that with 3 heavy defeats. Others preferred.

Form: 4P474-P

Swift Reply¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Edward Austin| T: S Waugh| OR: 77

9/2

Poor maiden hurdler who needs to improve for the switch to fences to make an impact (unseated on his only start in points).

Form: P20-072

Chantilly Rose¹⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: H Burns| OR: 74

33/1

No great shakes over hurdles and not much better in 2 starts over fences. Has since left Dan Skelton and opposable from out of the handicap.

Form: 4067-43

Buck Of Maine^v1¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane Fenelon| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 71

20/1

Maiden who made no impression at Stratford last time and is up against it from out of the handicap.

Form: 0374U6

Forecasts

Faha Belle (11/4), Zwicky (7/2), Jac Jumper (4/1), Swift Reply (9/2), Tom Creen (5/1), Goodtimes Badtimes (11/2), The Paddy Pie (16/1), Buck Of Maine (20/1), Chantilly Rose (33/1)

JAC JUMPER was run out of things only late on at Worcester last time and is taken to hold on this time back down in class. The likeable Tom Creen made a winning return in this race last year so is an obvious threat, while Zwicky is worth another chance to build on his chase bow.
