Grace And Dotty Fedors's And Feathers Amateur Jockeys' Handicap

Off time: 17:05 | Winning time: 2m 31.18s

An Bradan Feasa⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Eireann Cagney| T: Jack Jones| OR: 63

6/5

Fairly useful, dual winner over hurdles who was well suited by the increase in trip when opening his account in this sphere in 8-runner handicap at Catterick (12f) 7 days ago. Needs considering turned out quickly under a penalty.

Form: 6/701

Chillhi^b¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Matt Brown⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 65

7/1

Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 14 in handicap (100/1) at Newcastle (16.2f) 12 days ago, typically missing the break and always behind. This rates much more suitable back down markedly in class if refitting of blinkers can have positive effect. Still, he's risky.

Form: 057-609

Pride Of Nepal^p,t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss S L Bowen| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63

18/1

Twice a winner in handicaps on turf under today's pilot last summer. Went without usual cheekpieces (refitted here) and possibly needed first run for 6 months when sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago and likely to be closer to form here.

Form: 31137-6

Meet Me In Meraki²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Holly Flynn⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 62

25/1

Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm, 5/1) 26 days ago, his effort flattening out a touch late on. Comes here operating just 2 lb above last winning mark and each-way possibilities.

Form: 75-1385

(3)

Red Force One²⁶³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr Luke Connolly⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 60

100/1

Rattled off a hat-trick in staying handicaps last June but appeared to lose his form in 2 runs thereafter, eighth of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Redcar (14f, good to firm) 8 months ago. Possible he'll be sharper with this run under his belt.

Addosh^t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: B Ellison| OR: 58

12/1

In-an-out for James Owen over both hurdles and on Flat and similar story for new yard, albeit not ideally suited by marked drop in trip when seventeenth of 21 in handicap (33/1) at Doncaster (1m, good) 31 days ago. This rates a more suitable assignment and booking of Simon Walker on obvious plus.

Form: 14-4230

Mrs Meader³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr Fletcher Yarham| T: J & S Birkett| OR: 56

50/1

Well served by the strong pace when bouncing back to form to land 13-runner handicap at Bath (11.6f) in September. Below par on final 2 starts last term but entitled to sharpen up for reappearance run when last of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 39 days ago.

Form: 68180-6

Persian Phoenix^p⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 53

11/1

Boasts just the one win from 24 runs but showed benefit of her stable debut run when posting a creditable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 9/1) 53 days ago. Has a race of this nature within her grasp and worth a second look.

Form: 5707-63

(7)

Bloodhound^b,t1⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss Megan Jordan| T: S Lycett| OR: 52

20/1

4/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 58 days ago, hanging left from 2f out. Tongue strap on 1st time and bounce back called for.

Form: 5060-26

(4)

Return With Gold⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Miss Amy Collier| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 62

5/2

Improving sort who opened his account on handicap debut at Newcastle (10.2f) in January and again ran well on the back of a 5 lb rise when third of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 65 days ago. Far less exposed than most and in receipt of plenty of weight from older rivals here. Player.

Form: 968-13

Forecasts

An Bradan Feasa (6/5), Return With Gold (5/2), Chillhi (7/1), Persian Phoenix (11/1), Addosh (12/1), Pride Of Nepal (18/1), Bloodhound (20/1), Meet Me In Meraki (25/1), Freewheelin (33/1), Mrs Meader (50/1), Red Force One (100/1)

An improved model upped in trip/switched to handicaps on AW earlier this year, 3-y-o RETURN WITH GOLD resumes following a short break in receipt of plenty of weight from his rivals and he could be up to taking advantage, with further progress distinctly possible. Recent Catterick scorer An Bradan Feasa surely has more to come in this sphere also and he's next best ahead of Addosh. Persian Phoenix is another to keep an eye on.
