Andy Calvert Celebration Handicap Chase

Off time: 16:56 | Winning time: 4m 10.45s

Scots Poet^t³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 99| BF| D

5/1

Has taken well to chasing here and should remain competitive, left poorly placed in relation to the prominently-ridden winner 5 weeks ago. That form has worked out well (2 winners in behind) and he makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 30663-2

Nathan Wells^p⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 98

11/1

Ex-Irish maiden hurdler who ran well on chase debut at Perth last month but struggled in stronger race there on Sunday. This is easier.

Form: 524P-24

Old But Gold^p1¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Henry Brooke| T: M Todhunter| OR: 86

40/1

Has the physique for chasing but made an underwhelming start over the larger obstacles after 12 weeks off at Market Rasen recently. Cheekpieces go on.

Form: 2/0050-6

Jet Patrol^h⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Craig Nichol| T: A M Thomson| OR: 84

9/1

Headstrong sort failed to complete on his only other start over fences in this last year. Mixed bag over hurdles subsequently and remains a maiden.

Form: 759-248

Pescatorius^t⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: K Brogan| T: O Murphy| OR: 81| D

7/4

Successful chaser who isn't the most fluent jumper but he's got to be of interest starting out for top yard from lowly mark.

Form: 1U42U5-

Follow Your Arrow⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 79| BF| C

5/1

A regular here and good placed efforts in similar handicaps the last twice. Rare go back over the minimum trip.

Form: 547P-32

Conquer The Breeze^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 78

10/3

Hard puller prone to mistakes and yet to win, although placed again at Market Rasen (17.2f) a fortnight ago.

Form: PP32-32

A Place Apart³⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 68

150/1

Poor handicapper who offered nothing after 20 months off at Perth 4 weeks ago.

Form: 024PP/P

Forecasts

Pescatorius (7/4), Conquer The Breeze (10/3), Follow Your Arrow (5/1), Scots Poet (5/1), Jet Patrol (9/1), Nathan Wells (11/1), Old But Gold (40/1), A Place Apart (150/1)

SCOTS POET has made a good start over fences here and can land the spoils with the form of his latest second working out well. Pescatorius, starting out for Olly Murphy, has to be feared. Follow Your Arrow has place claims again.
