Southwell Golf Club Handicap Chase

Off time: 13:05 | Winning time: 5m 22.87s

Goldwyn²⁰⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: M Walford| OR: 112

9/1

Fairly useful form over hurdles while displaying the odd quirk. Didn't need to be at best when winning 15-runner novice hurdle at Wetherby (16f, heavy, 5/6) in March but disappointed on handicap bow final start. Off 6 months. Makes chase debut.

Form: 3F/321-8

Great Samourai^t¹⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: C J Todd| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 112| BF

10/1

Improved when winning 6-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon (16.5f, good) in May, doing better under change of tactics. Probably found next run coming too soon following month so no surprise to see him bounce back.

Form: 4/222-16

Duo D'Enfer^h1,t²³³

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 110

40/1

Veteran who matched his very best French form when doubling his tally over fences for his present yard at Sedgefield (17f, heavy) in February. Not operating at same level in 3 starts over fences/hurdles since so bit to prove on return.

Form: 131447-

Give Me A Boom²¹⁶

17/2

Promise only start in bumpers during 2022 and runner-up first 2 starts over hurdles after an absence. Failed to progress next 2 starts, however, and opening mark looks on the high side on chase bow.

Form: P6/2235-

Knockanore^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 108

11/2

A fairly useful winning hurdler but below par last 4 starts, including both starts over fences this season.

Form: 1/3F4-56

Jasmin De Grugy^t¹⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: R P McLernon| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 108| D

9/4

Has looked a different proposition since running in handicap hurdles, completing quickfire hat-trick at Ffos Las in May. Will go on improving now sent chasing so needs considering.

Form: 902-111

Onewayortother^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: K Brogan| T: T Lawes| OR: 106

5/1

Bettered hurdles form at the first time of asking in this sphere when third of 5 in handicap chase (7/2) at Warwick (16.2f, good to soft) in May. Disappointed at Chepstow on return but still early days in this sphere. Up in trip. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 3504-33

Maninsane^t,p²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 104| C| D

12/1

Dual winner in first campaign over fences but not so consistent last term. Enhanced good record fresh when second at Huntingdon but unable to back that up at Warwick 3 weeks ago.

Form: 3P86-28

You Say Nothing¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 96

33/1

Exploits decidedly mixed since last win and stopped worryingly quickly again after 5 months off at Ffos Las 16 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: P5-P40P

Copper Beach⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 92| D

13/2

A fair winning hurdler who was given a considerate introduction to chasing when fourth of 7 in handicap at Sedgefield (21.1f, good to soft) but offered little at Market Rasen next time.

Form: 7-50845

Forecasts

Jasmin De Grugy (9/4), No No Tango (4/1), Onewayortother (5/1), Knockanore (11/2), Copper Beach (13/2), Imperial Bede (7/1), Give Me A Boom (17/2), Goldwyn (9/1), Great Samourai (10/1), Maninsane (12/1), You Say Nothing (33/1), Duo D'Enfer (40/1)

JASMIN DE GRUGY was most progressive in handicap hurdles this spring and remains one to keep on the right side of now going chasing. Onewayortother is worth another chance to build on his promising chase bow at Warwick so is next best ahead of Great Samourai.
