Ladbrokes Go North Red Rum Series Final Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 15:20 | Winning time: 6m 30.48s

East Street^b²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: G Sheehan| T: James Owen| OR: 118| D

16/1

Completed his hat-trick at Haydock in December and not disgraced when fourth of 7 in handicap chase (14/1) at Catterick (25.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Raced lazily there so needs considering with blinkers back on.

Form: 11PP84

Breakdance Kid^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 115| D

14/1

Resumed winning ways at Kelso in November but below his best of late, only fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, good to soft, 10/1) 26 days ago. More is needed.

Form: 521355

One More Stroke^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 114| C| D

7/1

Got off the mark over fences at Musselburgh in February and backed it up with a good third of 7 in handicap chase (7/1) at Catterick (25.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago. In the mix.

Form: 3-32513

Red Happy¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 114| CD

5/1

Arrives on a hat-trick after wins at Musselburth and over C&D 14 days ago. Game sort who is a likely player despite a 3 lb weights rise.

Form: 53-7P11

Busty Boy²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Craig Nichol| T: D Bourke| OR: 112| D

10/1

On a losing run but he posted his best effort of the season when second of 8 in handicap chase at Ayr (24.1f, heavy, 12/1) 27 days ago. Up 2 lb but he holds solid form claims.

Form: 22-2P62

Monochromix^b¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: P W Wadge| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 110

16/1

Still a maiden and he came in only fourth of 5 in handicap chase here (20.9f, good) 14 days ago. Needs to take a step forward.

Form: 42-5524

Harjo^b²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Cobden| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 106| D

16/1

Unreliable type who was pulled up in handicap chase at Newcastle (23.4f, good, 9/2) 20 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: PPP31P

Ribeye⁵¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-4| J: Danny McMenamin| T: P Atkinson| OR: 94| D

15/2

Back to winning ways at Musselburgh in December. 6/1, fell 7th in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, good to soft) 51 days ago. One to consider if none the worse for his latest mishap.

Form: 73312F

Jamesieconn^p1,t⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 91| BF| D

13/2

Made a successful start in this sphere at Doncaster in February but only fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Newcastle (23.4f, good) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.

Form: 480514

Emotional Roller^p1²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 90| D

7/2

Gained his breakthrough win at Catterick in January and has continued in good nick, second of 8 in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f, heavy, 7/2) 25 days ago. Firmly in the picture with cheekpieces added.

Form: 2P5132

Uptown Harry^b¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Walton| OR: 89| CD

11/1

C&D winner and got back on track in a change of headgear when fourth of 9 to Red Happy in handicap chase over C&D (good) 14 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 7-0P564

The Jad Factor^p,t⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Lewis Dobb⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Thomson| OR: 88

22/1

Opened his account at the fifth attempt over fences at Newcastle (2½m) in January. Pulled up at Ayr following month though so has a bit to prove here.

Form: 3P2/41P

Euchan Falls^v¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R M Smith| OR: 79

33/1

Twenty runs since his last win in 2023 but he recorded a creditable second of 8 in handicap chase at Ayr (24.1f, heavy) 16 days ago. Very hard to make a case for from 13 lb out of the handicap however.

Form: 85P652

Wotsmyname^p¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: L Kerr| OR: 75

50/1

Remains a maiden after 21 runs though he came in a creditable fifth of 12 in handicap chase at Hexham (24.2f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Uphill task at these weights though.

Form: 9932P5

Forecasts

Emotional Roller (7/2), Red Happy (5/1), Jamesieconn (13/2), One More Stroke (7/1), Ribeye (15/2), Catch Catchfire (8/1), Busty Boy (10/1), Uptown Harry (11/1), Breakdance Kid (14/1), Monochromix (16/1), East Street (16/1), Hold The Note (16/1), Harjo (16/1), The Jad Factor (22/1), Euchan Falls (33/1), Wotsmyname (50/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and this could go the way of hat-trick seeking RED HAPPY who showed a really good attitude when scoring over C&D a fortnight ago. Busty Boy is feared most on the back of a resurgent Ayr second, although Emotional Roller, Catch Catchfire and One More Stroke also need factoring in.
