Rees Richards & Partners, Land Agents Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:59 | Winning time: 6m 30.11s

Pats Fancy^p1¹⁹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 12-2| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 122| C

25/1

Back-to-back winner of Chepstow handicap chases in December 2021, but very lightly-raced and largely out of sorts since. Resumes from a break with first-time cheekpieces enlisted and House of Stories is presumably the stable No 1.

Form: 506/6PP-

Pimlico Point^t,p¹³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: C O'Farrell| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 121

14/1

Little impact first 2 starts following a break in February, but much more like it when second in an 8-runner Worcester handicap (23f, good to soft) during the summer. On a workable mark and needs considering with conditions in his favour.

Form: 1U/25P-2

Rosscahill²⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 120| BF| C

5/4

Bought for £70,000 after easily winning an Irish point and created a good impression in winning a maiden and novice hurdle here last season. Failed to measure up to market expectations on handicap debut (again here) when last seen in January, but this 6-y-o is interesting now switched to fences.

Form: 1/114-

Sporting Ace²⁴⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 119| D

28/1

Returned to form with headgear omitted when edging home in front in a Lingfield marathon (28.8f, soft) at the end of January. Race may have come too soon when well held the following month at Newcastle, but he looks a shade too high in the weights in any case.

Form: 2/27518-

Madaket^p²⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 119| D

11/2

Fairly useful hurdler at his best, but didn't cut much ice starting out over fences (reportedly bled) at Lingfield in February and he returns to action here with a point to prove.

Form: 16/3P36-

Bells Of Peterboro²³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: S Bowen| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 116| BF

16/1

Dual winner at Chepstow during 2023/24 campaign and bounced back to his best when runner-up in 23f handicap chase at Lingfield in February. However, failed to build on that at Taunton on final appearance of last season and he's probably worth taking on back from a 7-month absence.

Form: 1/36P25-

Lilting Verse^t¹⁹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Fern O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 113WS

10/1

Listed bumper winner who opened account in this sphere at the second attempt when taking a Huntingdon handicap (3m, soft) last November. Wasn't disgraced over hurdles on latest run during the spring (since undergone a wind op) and she's not ruled out off a workable mark.

Form: PP5225-

Holokea¹⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: James Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 112| BF

6/1

Point/bumper winner who made a successful hurdles debut at Southwell in October 2024. Failed to build on that on that initially, but made the frame on several occasions earlier this year, including when runner-up starting out over fences at Worcester (23f, good to soft) in May. Solid claims.

Form: 5P422-2

Support Act²⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: K Brogan| T: T Lawes| OR: 109| BF

16/1

Bumper winner who left hurdles debut form well behind when easily landing a Doncaster novice in February 2024. Positives to glean from first run over fences at Newbury at the start of this year, but pulled up at Wetherby next time and it's probably best to look elsewhere this time.

Form: 151/04P-

Better Off Alone^p1⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 108

22/1

Runner-up in a Lingfield maiden hurdles in January, but made a discouraging debut in this sphere at Worcester last month and the addition of cheekpieces will need to have a positive effect if he's to make an impact here.

Form: 62/472-P

House Of Stories^t,p¹⁹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 106

12/1

Point winner who was awarded a Chepstow maiden hurdle in January 2024. Pulled up on return/chase debut at Chepstow in February, but more encouraging signs at Hereford and this course (23.8f, good to soft) since and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 21P/P24-

Diol Ker¹⁶⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: Conor Ring| T: Evan Williams| OR: 104| D

80/1

Useful chaser at his best for Noel Meade/Gordon Elliott in Ireland, but yet to fire for present yard and there are more appealing options elsewhere.

Form: 6P655-P

Stellar Stream^p¹⁸⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Ben Godfrey| T: K Woollacott| OR: 100

12/1

Now 5 lb lower in the weights compared to when opening his account in this sphere at Bangor in February 2024. More miss than hit since, but would be a danger to all if on-song with cheekpieces refitted back from a 6-month break.

Forecasts

Rosscahill (5/4), Madaket (11/2), Holokea (6/1), Lilting Verse (10/1), Stellar Stream (12/1), House Of Stories (12/1), Pimlico Point (14/1), Support Act (16/1), Bells Of Peterboro (16/1), Dazzlelikethis (20/1), Better Off Alone (22/1), Pats Fancy (25/1), Sporting Ace (28/1), Diol Ker (80/1)

ROSSCAHILL looked a useful prospect when winning his first two starts under Rules here last term and, though his handicap debut display back at this course was rather low-key, it would be no surprise to see this former point winner get back on track now tackling the larger obstacles. If Stellar Stream resumes in good order he will be a threat, while Holokea and Pimlico Point are others for the shortlist.
