Country Clothing At Eaton Hall Handicap Chase

Off time: 20:02 | Winning time: 3m 45.1s

Flash In The Park^t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: C J Todd| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 96| C

8/1

Unreliable sort but he posted a good second at Southwell last month and backed that up when fourth at Market Rasen. Remains opposable for win purposes, however.

Form: P53-P24

Dexter^t⁸⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 91WS

11/1

Multiple winner in France but has been a fair way below that level for Sophie Leech. However, potentially interesting off much-reduced mark for new connections.

Form: 066/43P-

Solid Fuel¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Conor Ring| T: Joanne Thomason-Murphy| OR: 83| D

28/1

Sprang a surprise at Worcester last summer and easily best effort since when third in repeat bid there last month. Confirmed himself back in form when fourth there 2 weeks ago, looking the most likely winner until only late on, so warrants respect.

Form: 71P8-34

Greenways⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Benjamin Macey⁽⁷⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 81

10/3

Hurdle winner for Tom Symonds who seems to be getting the hang of things over fences now, running on when third at Cartmel 9 days ago under this rider. Not taken lightly.

Form: P32-433

Pescatorius^t,p²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 80| BF| D

11/8

Winning for chaser for Harriet Dickin who failed to justify support on first outing for this yard at Hexham last month, albeit running creditably. Usual cheekpieces back on here so worth another chance.

Form: U42U5-4

Getaway Jewel³⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-9| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 77| D

10/1

Veteran who ended a long losing run in a very weak race off a career-low mark at Fakenham 5 weeks ago so may prove vulnerable up 5 lb.

Form: 65564-1

Rory's Story^t⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson| OR: 76

9/2

Maiden who stripped fitter for her hurdling comeback when second back over fences at Stratford in May, a late wobble preventing her finishing a bit closer. Split a couple of subsequent winners that day so she's a definite player off the same mark.

Form: 4/636-32

Sindri²⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Sean Houlihan| T: K Bishop| OR: 74

66/1

Maiden on the Flat and achieved little over hurdles. Switched to fences by new yard but not an obvious chasing type.

Form: 768/0P-

Forecasts

Pescatorius (11/8), Greenways (10/3), Rory's Story (9/2), Flash In The Park (8/1), Fox Wallace (8/1), Getaway Jewel (10/1), Dexter (11/1), McGrath From Clune (25/1), Solid Fuel (28/1), Sindri (66/1)

PESCATORIUS failed to justify support on his first outing for this yard at Hexham last month but is worth another chance with his customary cheekpieces back on. Dexter is potentially well handicapped starting out for a new stable so makes the shortlist along with Rory's Story, who split a pair of subsequent winners at Stratford.
