Family Sportsday Raceday On Sale Now Novices' Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:10 | Winning time: 4m 38.97s

Disco Annie^h,t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 100| D

3/1

Won twice over hurdles at Carlisle last term and kicked off this season with a decent fifth of 10 in a handicap chase there in November. Safely held back hurdling at Aintree (2½m, good) 3 weeks ago but she has been given a chance by the handicapper and returning to this trip will help.

Form: 44U536

Icare Colombe³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 100

5/1

Regressed after a decent debut for this yard over hurdles last term and hasn't shown much switched to fences this season, beaten a fair way in handicap chases at Warwick and Ludlow.

Form: 8/357-55

Hawk Stone^b⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: James Best| T: H Dickin| OR: 95

9/1

Opened hurdles account at Uttoxeter in April 2024. Failed to fire in handful of appearances last term but there was greater spark in his reappearance effort in first-time blinkers (retained) at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) and, a chaser on looks, he's interesting off this mark now switched to fences.

Form: 1/896P-3

One Million Dreams^b1²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: J M Quinlan| T: Michael Keady| OR: 90

33/1

Dual winner on the Flat at up to 13f and bettered previous hurdles efforts when third on handicap debut in that sphere at Fakenham in October. However, he's failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts, including on first run over fences at Huntingdon last time. Now tried in blinkers.

Form: 355-364

Kitsilano^p¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 89

14/1

Ex-Irish winning hurdler in 2023 and didn't shape badly sent chasing on second run following a lengthy absence/for this yard at Plumpton last month. However, it's fair to say that he hasn't kicked on from that in 2 subsequent runs and he again looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 01/6234

Flashy Boy^t⁴⁶⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Charlie Price| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 80

6/1

Point winner who showed fair form over hurdles for Tom Lacey. Had just the one run for Fergal O'Brien in May 2024 before finishing third of 10 on debut for this yard in a handicap hurdle at Southwell later that year. Absent since but this point winner is nonetheless interesting on chase debut.

Form: 5664/53-

Walk The Plank²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Benjamin Poste| T: C Hobson| OR: 77

22/1

Poor form at best, with the switch to this sphere failing to spark much in the way of improvement at Huntingdon last month. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 064-PP5

Lone Soldier¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: R T Dunne| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 75

5/1

Decent third in 3m Southwell handicap chase on penultimate start but he's 0-14 overall and was pulled at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve.

Form: 5-P543P

El Rojo Grande¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 74

10/3

Record stands at 0-13 under Rules but this point winner has finished second 4 times over fences, including at Warwick (16.2f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve. Very much one to consider off an unchanged mark.

Form: 532-252

Forecasts

Disco Annie (3/1), El Rojo Grande (10/3), Lone Soldier (5/1), Icare Colombe (5/1), Flashy Boy (6/1), Hawk Stone (9/1), Kitsilano (14/1), Walk The Plank (22/1), One Million Dreams (33/1)

A deserved first taste of success under Rules could be on the cards for EL ROJO GRANDE, who has found just one too good on three of his last four starts. Disco Annie has to enter calculations off this reduced mark and she is next best ahead of chasing debutant Hawk Stone and Flashy Boy, who is making his debut over fences following a 15-month absence.
