Barry Girling Memorial Handicap Chase

Off time: 12:58 | Winning time: 6m 11.28s

Kit's Coty^t1⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 98

11/2

A fair 22f winner over hurdles but he is not progressing over fences, only eighth of 11 in handicap chase at Doncaster (24f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. More is required.

Form: P-33658

Fairlawn Flyer^p⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 98| D

9/2

Attracted support and capitalised on a reduced mark when scoring in good style in conditional jockeys' handicap at Market Rasen (27.6f, good) 8 days ago. Escapes a penalty for that and will take plenty of stopping.

Form: P-47471

Dark Mix¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 96

13/2

Bumper winner who took a step forward when second of 5 in handicap chase at Leicester (20.1f, heavy) 15 days ago. Merits consideration nudged up 1 lb with relatively few miles still on the clock.

Form: 6-5P4P2

Brother Boris^p⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham| OR: 95WS

7/1

Failed to get home in the mud when pulled up in handicap chase over C&D 48 days ago, faltering end of back straight. Has since had a wind op and not ruled out under these less testing conditions.

Form: 4-6752P

Aldsworth^t1,b¹²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Liam Harrison| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 92

14/1

Maiden hurdler but he shaped better than the distance beaten in first-time blinkers after 11 months off over 25f here in November. Not discounted now switched to chasing.

Form: 37/F2P-0

Kapamazov^p²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H J Evans| OR: 86

5/1

Remains winless but he comes here in good form, fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, soft) 23 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up off an easing mark.

Form: 576634

Mystic Man^t,p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Conor Ring| T: R Potter| OR: 83| D

25/1

Successful 4 times over fences in 2023 but folded several times for Harry Derham last year and he's yet to scale a revival for his present yard from his sliding mark.

Form: 47P575

Supasunrise^t,p³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 83| C

10/1

Course winner who was tongue tied when a respectable fifth of 12 in handicap chase here (19.9f, good to soft) 34 days ago. It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2023, however.

Form: 253065

Boys Of Wexford^p²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 82| BF

8/1

Resumed winning ways at Fontwell in November but off 9 weeks before a below-par sixth of 11 in Hereford handicap chase (20.9f, good to soft) four weeks ago. Sort to get back on track.

Form: 22-P136

Bring The Action^v,t³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: N J Hawke| OR: 82| D

25/1

Had wind op/blinkered when scoring at Hereford last spring April but it's been all downhill since and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 61-P75P

School For Scandal⁵³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Taylor Fisher| T: J Tickle| OR: 80

12/1

A dual chase winner around 3m this season and got back on track when second of 14 in handicap chase at Taunton (23f, good to soft) 53 days ago. Unreliable type overall though.

Form: 211362

Raindance Queen¹⁰⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: W De Best-Turner| OR: 72

80/1

Placed both starts between the flags early in 2022 but has shown little over hurdles and well-beaten sent chasing last 3 starts. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 0-P007P

Forecasts

Fairlawn Flyer (9/2), Kapamazov (5/1), Kit's Coty (11/2), Dark Mix (13/2), Brother Boris (7/1), Boys Of Wexford (8/1), Supasunrise (10/1), School For Scandal (12/1), Aldsworth (14/1), Mystic Man (25/1), Bring The Action (25/1), Raindance Queen (80/1)

FAIRLAWN FLYER took full advantage of a reduced mark when returning to winning ways at Market Rasen last week and is impossible to oppose given he escapes a penalty for that conditional jockeys' success. Low-mileage Dark Mix appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of in-form maiden Kapamazov and course scorer Supasunrise.
