Support The Injured Jockeys Fund Handicap Chase

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: S England| OR: 95

Ex-Irish who posted his best effort over fences when second here (3m) 12 days ago, responding well to first-time headgear and worn down only by a stronger stayer. Back down in trip now so big shout if in similar form.

Form: 0-760P2

Heeztheboy¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Hogan| T: G Hanmer| OR: 92| BF| CD

Largely struggled for Pauline Robson but was much improved starting out for this yard when an easy winner over C&D on return. Backed that up with a good second of 16 at Uttoxeter and remains of interest.

Form: 6466-12

Tory Hill^t1²⁸¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 87WS

Runner-up all 4 completed starts in Irish points but didn't show much in 3 runs over hurdles last season and failed to improve sent chasing for handicap debut at Ayr in February. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Form: P2/0587-

Gibberwell^b¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: J Coulson| OR: 85| C| D

Unreliable but was on a going day when a winner here (3m) in March. Let down by jumping on return here 12 days ago.

Form: P2P15-F

Paramaribo^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Pippa Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: V Thompson| OR: 84| CD

Successful once from 8 starts in points since last seen over hurdles in late-2023/24 but he ran no sort of race on chase bow at Sedgefield on belated return to Rules 2 weeks ago.

Form: 5U213-P

Red Ned^p1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Craig Nichol| T: A M Thomson| OR: 84

Runner-up on the first of 2 starts in bumpers but little form over hurdles so hard to fancy now going chasing (unplaced both completed starts in Irish points). Headgear on.

Form: 0060-P7

Lewa House^p¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Bruce Lynn| T: C Bissett| OR: 83| CD

On a losing run but was runner-up twice in the spring and likely to have been placed but for a final-fence howler at Ayr on return.

Form: 66282-5

Stowaway John^t²⁸⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-9| J: P W Wadge| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 80| CD

C&D winner but struggled all 3 starts last season so returns with plenty to prove.

Form: 471/470-

Knightphase^t,p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: W Coltherd| OR: 70

Won sole start in Irish points but offered nothing in a trio of novice hurdles and on chase debut.

Form: 1/PP-7P

Cudgel^t,p²¹⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Walton| OR: 69| C

All 6 career wins have been registered here but he's now well into the veteran stage and didn't look the force of old last season. 4 lb out of weights.

Form: 383P49-

Forecasts

Heeztheboy (13/8), King Of Cong (9/4), Largy Train (7/2), Lewa House (5/1), Tenbobeachway (6/1), Gibberwell (10/1), Knightphase (14/1), Stowaway John (20/1), Red Ned (20/1), Cudgel (20/1), Tory Hill (33/1), Paramaribo (33/1)

HEEZTHEBOY has been much improved since joining this yard and remains one to keep on the right side of. King of Cong responded well to this headgear when second here recently and is an obvious threat with the drop back in trip a plus. Tenbobeachway showed enough on his second start back from an absence to suggest he has a race in him.
