Amazing Sri Lanka Handicap Chase

Off time: 16:35 | Winning time: 4m 17.60s

King Of Brazil^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Katy Price| OR: 98| D

7/2

Dual chaser winner at this time last year but has struggled so far this season, retried over hurdles at Taunton last time. Hard to warm to.

Form: B-PU756

Superstylin¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 91| CD

5/2

C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when sixth of 12 in 2m4f handicap chase at Huntingdon 14 days ago, going well long way. Expected to be bang there back at 2m off a 3 lb lower mark.

Form: 323-2U6

You Say Nothing^h⁵¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 84| D

10/3

It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2023 and he comes here out of sorts, eighth of 10 in handicap chase at Warwick (16.2f, soft) 51 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 40P6P8

Miss Fedora²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 83

15/2

Finally got off the mark over fences in 6-runner handicap chase at Plumpton (17f, soft) 24 days ago. Up 4 lb but she can make her presence felt again.

Amarillobymorning^h1,t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Liam Harrison| T: B Pauling| OR: 76

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Had a wind op before coming in a well-held seventh of 11 in handicap at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to soft, 13/2) on his debut over fences 34 days ago. In good hands but lots to prove with hood added.

Form: 2/3-057

Shaw's Cross^p²⁰

Age: 13| Weight: 10-2| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: A Irvine| OR: 71| CD

13/2

On a long losing run but he arrives in decent nick, fourth of 11 in handicap chase here (20f, soft) 20 days ago. One for the shortlist despite being 1 lb "wrong" in the weights.

Forecasts

Superstylin (5/2), You Say Nothing (10/3), King Of Brazil (7/2), Shaw's Cross (13/2), Amarillobymorning (7/1), Miss Fedora (15/2), Angel's Dream (10/1), Odin's Quest (12/1), Iskar D'airy (16/1)

Suzy Smith's C&D winner SUPERSTYLIN shaped as if this return to 2m would suit ideally when a strong-travelling sixth over 2m4f at Huntingdon last time so looks the way to go off a handy mark. Recent Plumpton scorer Miss Fedora rates the obvious threat with the reliable Shaw's Cross and C&D scorer Angel's Dream also in the picture.
