Connolly's Red Mills Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:35 | Winning time: 5m 23.04s

Lermoos Legend^p¹⁰^{(ex 7)}

Age: 9| Weight: 12-7| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 100| CD

8/1

Ended losing run in handicap here 10 days ago, though the carnage at 4 out left him with a simple task. Opposable under a 7 lb penalty.

Form: 333741

Ileny Royale^h,t1⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 94

11/1

Placed twice from 4 starts in minor events for Gabriel Leenders in France. Offered little over hurdles for this yard and was soon left behind on chase bow/return.

Form: 36/47P-6

Lelant^p1,t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 89

11/2

Fair form without success over hurdles. Not so good over fences so far, though no doubt becoming well handicapped in this sphere. Headgear goes on.

Form: 6-33668

Bobbi's Beauty^h²³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 88| BF

9/1

Point winner who stepped up on her hurdle exploits when making a successful switch to fences at Leicester (20.1f) in February. Might have found next race coming too soon before creditable fourth back over hurdles at Southwell. Worth another chance back in this sphere on return.

One Last Glance^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Fergus Gillard| T: T R Gretton| OR: 88

10/3

Belatedly off the mark in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Stratford (16.3f, heavy) on return. Just respectable third back over fences at Plumpton since. Could do with brushing up his jumping in this sphere.

Form: 3C23-13

Supasunrise^p³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 88

4/1

Creditable second of 13 in handicap chase (9/1) at Southwell (20.4f, good to firm) on return and worth another chance to build on that having failed to stay at Stratford next time.

Form: 443-P25

Higgs^b¹⁵⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: James Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 86| C

20/1

Has been unreliable but went through a good spell in May, scoring twice, including here (3m). Might have found busy spell catching up with him final start so no surprise if he bounced back after a break.

Form: 22-112P

Esperti¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Ring| T: D A Rees| OR: 86| D

66/1

Little impact over hurdles for this yard and fared no better sent chasing last 2 starts.

Form: 50P9P4

Rock On Rita^p⁶⁸⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 80| C

18/1

Point winner who won 2 mares' handicap hurdles in 2022 but struggled in a trio of starts over fences when last seen almost 2 years ago. Hard to recommend.

Form: 316685/

My Granny Lily^p³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 75| C

4/1

Got off the mark in 2m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las in February and ended the season in good form. Probably needed return and back over fences now (fell at third in chase bow 11 months ago).

Forecasts

One Last Glance (10/3), Pep Talking (7/2), Supasunrise (4/1), My Granny Lily (4/1), Lelant (11/2), Lermoos Legend (8/1), Bobbi's Beauty (9/1), Ileny Royale (11/1), Faitque De L'Isle (16/1), Rock On Rita (18/1), Higgs (20/1), Totowolfe (33/1), Ceejaybe (33/1), Esperti (66/1)

PEP TALKING has made an encouraging start for this yard, showing improved form to score at Uttoxeter last time, and looks capable of defying a 5 lb rise. Supasunrise is feared most returned to a more suitable trip, while Bobbi's Beauty is worth another chance to back up her chase debut win.
