Mini Golf At High Gosforth Park Novices' Handicap Chase

5YO plus | Class 5 | 2m 4f 19y | 8 Runners | Turf

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 99| D

Scored over hurdles at Wetherby in October and largely consistent since, including on his first run over fences on these shores when a solid third of 6 in 2m3f Market Rasen handicap two weeks ago. Not taken lightly off a 3 lb lower mark.

Form: 133473

Gilbertina^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: N Kent| OR: 98

9/1

It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2024 and he has yet to hit top form in four runs over fences this term, fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (19.2f) 14 days ago. Others appeal more despite a slipping mark.

Form: 2854P4

Wannabe⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 96

4/1

Lightly-raced over hurdles. Sent off 7/2 up in trip for his chasing bow but he beat only one in 3m handicap at Market Rasen on Boxing Day. Could still do better in this sphere after a break.

Form: 6-567

Gonnino⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Bruce Lynn| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 94

15/2

A fair maiden hurdler but he came in a below-par sixth of 11 in 2m handicap at Musselburgh in December. Needs to step forward now going over fences after a break.

Form: 4-24P26

Huit Reflets^v²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 91

10/3

Is enjoying an excellent season, getting off the mark over fences at Sedgefield (2m) on Boxing Day and posting a very good second of 8 back there (2m3f) last time. Up 2 lb but another bold showing is on the cards.

Form: 321322

Hawkseye View^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 89| D

11/4

Remains a maiden after 19 runs but largely in good nick this term, fourth of 8 in 2m4f handicap chase at Carlisle 15 days ago. Not out of things eased 1 lb.

Form: 35-3254

Lord De Vinci^p1²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Callum Bewley| T: D Bourke| OR: 88

11/2

Maiden hurdler who came in a well-held fourth on his chasing bow at Musselburgh (2m4f) in January before failing to stay 3m when eighth at Carlisle since. Dropped 5 lb and reverts in trip now but still needs to take a step forward.

Form: 959-448

Paramaribo^p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Pippa Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: V Thompson| OR: 81| D

50/1

A modest 2m4f hurdles winner. Pulled up on his chasing debut at Sedgefield in November and looked to be on the retreat when unseating his rider 4 out there in similar event 27 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 213-P5U

Forecasts

Huit Reflets (9/4), Hawkseye View (4/1), Singapore Trip (5/1), Wannabe (5/1), Gonnino (6/1), Gilbertina (10/1), Lord De Vinci (12/1), Paramaribo (50/1)

HUIT REFLETS has held his form really well this season and is fancied to bag a third victory on the back of a very good Sedgefield runner-up last time out. The consistent Singapore Trip appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of in-form maiden Hawkseye View and lightly raced Wannabe.
