Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

(3)

Storm Catcher^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: J Mitchell| T: S Pearce| OR: 90| C

8/1

Course winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in August. Shaped better than distance beaten suggests when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 33/1) 21 days ago, his track position far from ideal. Now below last winning mark.

Form: 15805-0

(7)

Nolton Cross⁶⁹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Joe Leavy| T: H Palmer| OR: 89| CD

12/1

C&D winner who shaped better than bare result when creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D back in March 2024. Things can't have been plain sailing to be absent since and the betting can prove the best guide.

Form: 521464/

(2)

Spaceport^t1³⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: T Lacey| OR: 85| DWS

16/1

Dual winner at up to 1¾m for William Muir & Chris Grassick in summer 2024 but absent since finishing a well-beaten ninth of 11 on yard/hurdles debut at Catterick this time last year. Another best guided by the betting on return/AW debut. Tongue strap on 1st time/following wind surgery.

Form: 410848/

(1)

Lady Of Arabia^v²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 83| C

9/2

Course winner. Latest win here in December. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Possibilities up in trip.

Form: 33311-5

(5)

Vaguely Royal^p³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Ian Williams| OR: 81| CD

14/1

Useful winner on Flat/over hurdles but well below par under both codes during 2025 (had begun to look temperamental). Switched yards ahead of this and the assessor has afforded him a chance if that has a positive effect ahead of this.

Form: 50/3000-

(8)

Pride Of Donegal⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Johnston| OR: 81| BF| D

10/3

Successful on handicap debut at Kempton (12f) in October. 15/8, fourth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 6 days ago. Back up in trip. Not taken lightly.

Form: 2102-44

(6)

Rastnet⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: J Butler| OR: 81| C

5/1

Lightly-raced filly who showed improved form to go one better than on her 2 most recent starts when winning 10-runner novice at this course (9.5f, 11/2) 46 days ago, proving determined. This even longer trip could unlock further progress now handicapping.

Form: 5221-

(4)

Shrimp Shady¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 79| BF

2/1

Lightly-raced winner who shaped well on the back of a break when runner-up at Lingfield (10f) in December. Subsequent Kempton fourth has to go down as an underwhelming effort but there are certainly handicaps in him from this mark if putting it all together.

Form: 21/372-4

Forecasts

Rastnet (2/1), Shrimp Shady (11/4), Lady Of Arabia (4/1), Pride Of Donegal (6/1), Nolton Cross (12/1), Vaguely Royal (16/1), Storm Catcher (20/1), Spaceport (25/1)

SHRIMP SHADY's latest Kempton fourth has to go down as a shade disappointing, yet his penultimate Lingfield second confirms he has handicaps in him from this sort of mark and he's worth another chance to get back on the up with the Andrew Balding stable continuing in fine form. Low-mileage course scorer Rastnet is another worth a look now her stamina is tested further. Storm Catcher and Pride of Donegal complete the shortlist.
