Tant Pis Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:27 | Winning time: 4m 43.28s

Treaty Boy^t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Ross Chapman| T: W Coltherd| OR: 96| D

8/1

Given positive ride when respectable second at Kelso last month, finishing tired, and probably found next run coming too soon. Becoming well handicapped.

Form: 28-FB26

Dixie Cowboy¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Callum Bewley| T: S England| OR: 93| D

5/2

Unsurprisingly looked in need of the run following 18 months off at Carlisle and seemed suited by the drop to the minimum trip when making a winning chase bow at Sedgefield 16 days ago. That form looks solid and he's likely to go well again.

Form: 852/6-91

Aill Dubh⁴⁰²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Alice Stevens⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 86

25/1

Poor maiden hurdler for Michael Flannery. Off mark in Irish points at seventh attempt (Nov 2024).

Form: P40031-

Stick With Me Sam^h,t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: T R Gretton| OR: 85

16/5

Improved switched to chasing last term, runner-up twice at the turn of the year. Player if coming on for return.

Form: 4622U-7

Stowaway John^t³¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 80| C

14/1

Sole win came in the mud here almost 2 years ago but struggled all 3 starts last season so returns with plenty to prove.

Form: 471/470-

Kingston Rock^b1,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 80

12/1

Modest maiden who ran no sort of race at Sedgefield on return. Blinkers now applied on return to chasing.

Form: 55836-P

Blended Stealth^b¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 75| CD

10/1

Refitting of cheekpieces and a more positive ride worked the oracle when finally opening his account at Hexham in May. More lows than highs since, however, and took a heavy fall at Sedgefield 16 days ago.

Form: 59652F

Cudgel^p,t²⁴⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: J Walton| OR: 69| CD

3/1

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. 1 lb out of weights.

Forecasts

Dixie Cowboy (5/2), Cudgel (3/1), Stick With Me Sam (16/5), Treaty Boy (8/1), Blended Stealth (10/1), Kingston Rock (12/1), Lewa House (12/1), Stowaway John (14/1), Aill Dubh (25/1)

DIXIE COWBOY looked better than ever on his second outing after a lengthy absence when making a successful start over fences at Sedgefield and is taken to follow up. Stick With Me Sam and Treaty Boy are both on potentially handy marks so are feared most.
