Horizon Parking UK's Leading Parking Company Handicap Chase

Off time: 16:20 | Winning time: 6m 7.81s

Summerleaze⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 102| BF

5/1

Much improved for new yard back from 5 months off, easily completing a hurdles hat-trick in 4-runner handicap at Stratford (2¾m, good) in May. Found out off this mark when bidding for another success at the same course later that month, but she is nonetheless interesting now switched to fences.

Form: 7F11-13

Everyday Champagne^p²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander| OR: 98| D

12/1

Winless run mounting up and while he posted his best effort for a while when runner-up at Hexham (24.2f, good to soft) last month, he's by no means certain to build on that here (nor benefit from a soft lead, as he did at Hexham).

Form: 05PP-42

Shantou Moon^b¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 95

40/1

Winning handicap hurdler who bettered his low-key chase debut when second in a 4-runner hunter here in May. However, that was still a rather modest effort all things considered and he has failed to fire in 2 subsequent starts.

Form: 223-25P

Heaven Smart^v1⁷⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: L Morgan| OR: 91| D

11/1

Would be thrown in off this mark if able to bounce back, now 13 lb lower than when opening his chase account at Kelso last February. However, it's been downhill pretty much all the way since, failing to complete on 3 of his last 4 starts, and major turnaround needed on debut for new yard.

Form: 36P4PP-

Carnet De Stage^t²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 86| D

20/1

Fair hurdler/chaser at best in Ireland and easily best effort for current yard when third over this C&D in May. However, he was beating a retreat when unseating 4 out at Hexham next time and his strike rate (1-50 overall under Rules) is anything but compelling.

Form: 5P05-3U

Ballydangan¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: H Burns| OR: 78| D

8/1

Didn't show much in handful of appearances for Dan Skelton, but new yard has seemingly found the key to him, progressing with each of his 4 runs for Hugh Burns. Nudged up just 2 lb for recent Hexham (24.2f, good to soft) breakthrough success and another bold show anticipated.

Form: 6P93-31

Euchan Falls^v⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R M Smith| OR: 76

9/1

Dual hurdles winner, but record stands at 0-13 in this sphere and, though runner-up 5 times over fences, he again looks vulnerable.

Form: 65208-2

Wotsmyname^p¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: P W Wadge| T: L Kerr| OR: 73

25/1

Possesses bits and pieces of form that suggest he could get competitive off this mark, but he was beaten a fair way in the Hexham contest won by Ballydangan last time. Others look stronger.

Form: 5P4-P49

Sputnik^p²⁴³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 73

33/1

Out of sorts at present and the first-time visor failed to work the oracle at Ayr when last seen in November. Cheekpieces now refitted in place of that headgear.

Form: 0/P487P-

Wheresmemoneygone⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 66| D

10/11

Little impact in a handful of runs over hurdles for Max Young, but he was a decisive winner of a maiden point on his latest start in April and is one to note in the betting now switched to fences for this yard.

Form: 08P331-

A Place Apart¹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 66

100/1

Pulled up both starts since returning from a lengthy absence and can only be watched at present.

Form: 24PP/PP

Forecasts

Wheresmemoneygone (10/11), Bumpy Evans (9/4), Summerleaze (5/1), Ballydangan (8/1), Euchan Falls (9/1), Heaven Smart (11/1), Everyday Champagne (12/1), Carnet De Stage (20/1), Wotsmyname (25/1), Sputnik (33/1), Shantou Moon (40/1), A Place Apart (100/1)

BUMPY EVANS put in a good round of jumping when completing the hat-trick at Bangor and, with the promise of better still to come from this 7-y-o over fences, a 9 lb rise is unlikely to stop him in his tracks. Ballydangan has got his act together of late and is taken to follow the selection home, with chase debutante Summerleaze and point winner Wheresmemoneygone completing the shortlist.
