Munich's Grosser Dallmayr-Preis Handicap

Off time: 13:08 | Winning time: 59.90s

Marching Mac^t⁴^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 72| D

5/2

Arrives here in fine fettle, following up his emphatic Nottingham success last month with a wide-margin verdict in a 4-runner affair at Leicester (5f, heavy) on Monday. This is more competitive but he's nevertheless the one to beat under a penalty.

Form: 241211

Stash The Cash¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D Egan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76| D

8/1

Back-to-back 5f Hamilton scorer in September but good run of form came to a grinding halt when bidding for the hat-trick at Nottingham recently. Others preferred.

Seantrabh¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 75| D

9/2

Has become well handicapped and shaped as though his turn may well be near when a close third at Redcar (5f, good to soft) on penultimate start. However, failed to build on that next time and he's probably worth taking on.

Form: 444035

Kiss And Run¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 74| D

9/1

Regained the winning thread at Goodwood in August and best effort since when hitting the crossbar in a heavy-ground 5f Windsor handicap last time. Each-way chance off the same mark here.

Form: 301352

Thunder Star^p⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 73| BF| D

11/2

Three-time winner in 2023 and, though yet to get her head in front this year, she shaped well when making the frame on first 3 starts of present campaign. Not at her best since but mark is on the slide and she will be a serious player if on-song.

Form: 342676

Jungle Run^b²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: Tom Clover| OR: 73| D

25/1

Career best when completing the hat-trick at Southwell (5f) in September but came up short off this revised mark over the same C&D next time. Opposable.

Level Up^v¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Jordan Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 72| D

12/1

Notched third success of this season at Salisbury in August before finding just one too good at Bath (5f, good). Failed to fire at Windsor since but conditions were testing on that occasion and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 163127

Monsieur Beaulieu¹³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Fred Daly⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Littmoden| OR: 70| D

33/1

Fair performer in France, winner of a 5f handicap at Vichy last September. Creditable third on sole start so far this year in June and he will probably come up short on what will be his first appearance on these shores.

Form: 57816-3

Bang On The Bell^b⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Marco Ghiani| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 68| D

15/2

Back to form when second of 5 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) in August. Has subsequently made the frame at Sandown and Chester, and he has to enter calculations here off a workable mark.

Form: 098244

Little Miss Magic²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Isobelle Chalmers⁽⁷⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 66| D

33/1

Successful on debut for this yard at Bath (5f, good to firm) in August and wasn't far off the target when a close third at Windsor on penultimate start. Beaten over 8 lengths when third to Marching Mac at Brighton last time, though, and she clearly has work to do here based on that piece of form.

Form: 521433

(8)

It's Showtime^b⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: C Allen| OR: 62| D

25/1

Has just one win to her name from 17 career starts, namely a Class 6 turf handicap at Lingfield during the spring. Followed that with a string of solid efforts in defeat but form not so good during second half of this season.

Form: 226635

Forecasts

Marching Mac (5/2), Seantrabh (9/2), Thunder Star (11/2), Bang On The Bell (15/2), Stash The Cash (8/1), Kiss And Run (9/1), Level Up (12/1), It's Showtime (25/1), Jungle Run (25/1), Monsieur Beaulieu (33/1), Little Miss Magic (33/1)

THUNDER STAR has failed to fire on all cylinders in both starts since returning from a break in September but she's down to an attractive mark and is an appealing alternative to likely favourite Marching Mac. It's rare for sprint handicaps to be won by margins such as those via which the latter has scored of late and he is a much-respected main danger. Bang On The Bell is third choice ahead of Kiss And Run and Level Up.
