Vickers.Bet Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:00 | Winning time: 4m 8.50s

Six One Nine^p²⁰⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: C Grant| OR: 99| CD

11/1

Has really enhanced his strike rate over fences at Newcastle last season, winning 3 times. Just respectable fourth here final start and handicapper may be in control for now. Off 6 months.

Form: 21131-4

Mutual Respect^p,t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: G Sheehan| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR: 95| D

9/2

All the better for return when narrow winner at Worcester and benefited from the late fall of another rival for the second start in succession when following up at Bangor 4 weeks ago. Only 2 lb higher so respected in hat-trick bid.

Form: 123-811

Minella Youngy^p⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 91

11/2

Fair winning hurdler in Ireland and opened his account for Iain Jardine in a Kelso handicap chase off 6 lb higher last September. Best effort so far for this yard when third at Hexham last time. Player if building on that.

Form: 15-5043

Clean Getaway^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 90| CD

6/4

Has done well over fences this year and capitalised on this lenient hurdling mark last 2 starts here. 12 lb higher back over fences now but clearly thriving.

Form: 422111

Augharue³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 83

3/1

Went agonisingly close to breaking his duck from a tumbling mark at Sedgefield (17f, good) in May. Followed that with a series of uninspiring performances but back on track when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Kelso last month. Player with a repeat.

Form: P-27752

Ensel Du Perche²³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 78

25/1

Won 2m1f handicap chases at Market Rasen and Cartmel early last season. Raced only twice since, excuses at Hereford final start. May need this after 7 months off.

Form: 4/P1136-

Forecasts

Clean Getaway (6/4), Augharue (3/1), Mutual Respect (9/2), Minella Youngy (11/2), Six One Nine (11/1), Take Centre Stage (12/1), Cudgel (20/1), Ensel Du Perche (25/1)

AUGHARUE was headed only late on by a subsequent winner at Kelso last month and he looks ready to shed his maiden tag. Thriving pair Clean Getaway and Mutual Respect are the obvious threats.
