Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Off time: 17:25 | Winning time: 3m 0.10s

(8)

Robusto^b³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 77

11/2

Sixteen runs since last win in 2024 but he arrives in good nick, setting a strong pace when sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (12.2f, 7/1) 32 days ago. That form has been franked so he's weighted to go well eased 1 lb.

Form: 595-226

(6)

Shrimp Shady²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 77| BF

5/2

Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (2/1) at this course (12.2f) 25 days ago, though he hung left over 1f out. Needs considering with few miles still on the clock.

Form: 1/372-44

(3)

Dance Time⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 75| CD

7/1

C&D winner in November and not totally disgraced when third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 65 days ago. Can make her presence felt off a 1 lb lower mark.

Form: 201143-

Circuit Breaker³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 75

11/1

Good second over 2m here in January but beat one over hurdles at Market Rasen (23.1f) since. No surprise to see him get back on track now reverted to this sphere.

Form: 56092-2

(4)

Gemmari⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 76| C| D

2/1

Course winner who improved another chunk for latest success at Chelmsford City (14f) in January. Hiked up 8 lb but he's not yet exposed so is a likely player once more.

Form: 21155-1

(7)

Bystander^t,p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: H Crouch| T: S C Williams| OR: 74

14/1

Got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 11 days ago, having run of race. Not out of things.

Form: 69/297-3

(5)

Calvert¹³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: R A Teal| OR: 72

11/1

It's now 13 runs since last win in 2023 and he came in a below-form fourth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (18f, heavy) when last seen in October. Handily weighted if he hits the ground running on his tapeta debut.

Form: 224444

(1)

Fiddlers Green²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: L Morris| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 61

66/1

In good form until only eighth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 27 days ago. Still can't be discounted now stepping up in trip.

Form: 1532-28

Isle Of Sark¹¹

Forecasts

Gemmari (2/1), Shrimp Shady (5/2), Robusto (11/2), Dance Time (7/1), Calvert (11/1), Circuit Breaker (11/1), Bystander (14/1), Isle Of Sark (33/1), Fiddlers Green (66/1)

Lots with chances but the vote goes to in-form ROBUSTO who set a strong pace when sixth here last time (form working out well) and can race off a 1 lb lower mark now. Gemmari rates the obvious threat in his bid to gain a fourth victory in his last six starts, while Shrimp Shady, Dance Time and Calvert all need factoring in too.
