7One7 Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 11:58 | Winning time: 6m 44.69s

Buckna²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: R Patrick| T: W Greatrex| OR: 115| CD

11/8

Point winner and fair form when placed on all 5 starts in maiden/novice hurdles. Left chase bow/return well behind when winning over C&D last month and should have more to offer in this sphere.

Form: 3232-P1

Holeshot²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: James Davies| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 114

6/1

Back-to-back winner over hurdles early this year. Not disgraced on chase bow at Bangor and by no means out of it when departing at Taunton last month, 2-length third when fell 3 out. Respected.

Form: 115-75F

Nambiti⁶⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Ned Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 113

9/1

Fairly useful over hurdles/fences in France but has disappointed in a handful of runs for this yard. All to prove back from a long absence.

Form: 23FP32/

Law Of Supply^h,t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: C Gethings| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 113

11/2

Impressed when landing handicap chases at Worcester and Ascot last autumn. Struggled since but latest 6½ lengths fourth to Buckna at this C&D was at least a step in the right direction.

Form: 1343-P4

Moonlit Potter^p1³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Luke Scott⁽³⁾| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 102

9/1

Winning hurdler who went close to making a successful chase debut at Huntingdon on last season's reappearance. It's been downhill since, though, and there were no signs of an imminent revival on return/debut for new yard last month. Headgear applied.

Form: 2/2P56-4

Ithaka^t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Conor Ring| T: R Potter| OR: 100

66/1

A dual 23f hurdles winner last term who signed off with a good second at Market Rasen in March. However, he went with little encouragement on this second try over fences after 9 months off back there 16 days ago so looks an easy swerve.

Form: 51382-3

Stellar Stream^p³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Dylan Johnston| T: K Woollacott| OR: 98| C

7/2

Unreliable but has edged down the weights and put in a good shift when third at Ffos Las last month. Couldn't rule out.

Form: P2U5-83

Forecasts

Buckna (11/8), Stellar Stream (7/2), Law Of Supply (11/2), Holeshot (6/1), Moonlit Potter (9/1), Nambiti (9/1), Ithaka (66/1)

BUCKNA proved a totally different proposition to his first time over fences when scoring over C&D last month and looks capable of following up with further progress likely. Holeshot was still in with a chance before falling 3 out at Taunton so is feared most ahead of Stellar Stream.
