Citi Post Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:30 | Winning time: 5m 23.41s

Prized Jet¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: P Hanlon⁽³⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 98

12/1

Modest form at best over hurdles and unseated rider on chase debut 10 days ago. Makes British debut in an ordinary race.

Form: 2-438U

Couldbeaweapon^b,t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: S England| OR: 88

5/6

Certainly wasn't winning out of turn when breaking his duck over fences at Southwell 17 days ago, always holding on. Up 8 lb but fact he's in form may count for a lot.

Form: 324231

Uncle Al⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Aaron Anderson| T: J Bedi| OR: 87

50/1

Tailed off in a bumper during the spring and since offered precious little in 4 outings over hurdles. Is at least bred to do better over fences.

Form: 0-PP30

Beat The Edge¹⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Alice Stevens| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 86

11/2

Thoroughly ungenuine sort who was skilfully ridden by Brian Hughes and again traded short in-running when collared on the line at Cartmel in May. Off since and remains a risky betting proposition for win purposes.

Form: 5332-32

Zuul^p,t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: William Maggs| T: R Menzies| OR: 75

5/2

Remains a maiden after 18 runs and hasn't looked a natural over the larger obstacles, pulling up at Perth last month. Cheekpieces replace visor.

Form: 5-8493P

Stonegate⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: B Rothwell| OR: 71

25/1

Displayed more temperament than ability in recent times.

Form: 78PP-P5

Couldbeaweapon (5/6), Zuul (5/2), Beat The Edge (11/2), Prized Jet (12/1), Stonegate (25/1), Uncle Al (50/1)

COULDBEAWEAPON travelled with a lot more purpose than has been the case when finally off the mark at Southwell 17 days ago and the fact he's in good order makes him the fairly obvious selection against this bunch. Irish-raider Prized Jet could be the chief threat.
