Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap (Rider Restricted Race)

4YO plus | Class 6 | 5f | 10 Runners | Allweather

(4)

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Tyrese Cameron⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65

5/1, failed to come on for recent run and looked a hard ride when second of 4 in novice at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 9 days ago. Back in a handicap and others look stronger.

Form: 3240-82

(2)

Toomuchforme^v1,t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 64

Struggled all last year and was again keen when last of 7 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 25/1) 23 days ago. Visored for 1st time but is one to tread warily with at the moment.

Form: 90907-7

(3)

Orbital Chime^b²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Greg Fairley| T: K Scott| OR: 64

Ended long losing run at Southwell in November but has gone off the boil, eighth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at this course (6f) 22 days ago. Hard to see him featuring.

Form: 21678-8

(8)

Dandy Dinmont²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 64| BF| CD

C&D winner. Failed badly to justify support when 6 lengths tenth of 11 to Digital in handicap at this C&D (3/1) 26 days ago. Headgear discarded and can bounce back quickly.

Form: 33245-0

(7)

Digital^p⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 62| CD

C&D winner in January. Worth treating as if still in form when fifth of 11 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D 9 days ago, keeping on when denied a run final 100 yds. In the mix.

Form: 61-2215

(9)

Em Jay Kay^v1²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 61| C| D

Course winner. 6/4, won 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 29 days ago, benefiting from better track position than the pair that chased him home to justify support. Visor on 1st time. 2 lb rise certainly not insurmountable and a useful apprentice takes over.

Form: 3738-31

(5)

Azucena^b²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Oliver Stammers| T: S Hanlon| OR: 59| BF| CD

3-time C&D winner, latest in January. Ran at least as well in defeat when second of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Southwell (5f) 26 days ago, clear of rest. Place claims from 2 lb higher.

Form: 4054-12

(10)

La Rochette³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Barry McHugh| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 57

Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. 9/1, backed up previous effort when length fourth of 6 to Azucena in handicap at this C&D 33 days ago. Others more appealing for win purposes.

Form: 7090-34

(1)

Shatin Venture³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 45| CD

C&D winner. 6/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 30 days ago, keeping on after forced to switch last ½f. Needs more.

Form: 7333-04

(6)

Nazca^b1⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 45| C

Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. 18/1, eighth of 10 in minor event at this course (6f) 5 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 0988-88

Forecasts

Em Jay Kay (7/4), Azucena (4/1), Digital (5/1), Dandy Dinmont (8/1), La Rochette (8/1), Shatin Venture (12/1), Orbital Chime (16/1), Correspondence (16/1), Toomuchforme (25/1), Nazca (33/1)

Cases can be made for a few of these, but the vote goes to DANDY DINMONT, who attracted plenty of support when down the field over C&D last month and Nigel Tinkler's 7-y-o is the type to bounce back quickly with his usual headgear discarded. Heading up the dangers is recent Lingfield scorer Em Jay Kay, who is yet to string back-to-back wins together but should go close in a change of equipment. Azucena and Digital can fight out third.
