Paxton's Are Case IH's N01 Dealer Handicap Chase

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: J K Hunter| OR: 97| D

One-time fairly useful hurdler/winning chaser for Henry de Bromhead, but no recent form and increasingly looks one to avoid.

Form: 5/P-PPPP

Fortunefavorsdbold^p²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 97| BF

Hasn't hit the target for a while but she runs more good races than bad ones overall and thwarted only by one who had slipped a long way in the weights at Leicester on most recent outing. Big chance, especially with the assistance of a promising 3-lb conditional.

Form: 43-23F2

King Of Cong^b1⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: S England| OR: 92

Posted his best effort over fences when second here in November but form has been regressive since. Blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Form: 0P2430

Park Rules⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin| T: I Jardine| OR: 87

Disappointing so far under Rules but hails from good family (out of half-sister to dam of Douvan and Jonbon), so any market support could be significant on debut for new connections.

Form: 00-0009

Quickasican^p,t²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Theo Gillard| T: J Bedi| OR: 87

Placed first 3 starts over hurdles in 2022/23 for Rebecca Menzies but very lightly raced and little impact since, including on chasing debut in this headgear latest.

Form: 323/P-8P

Didntgotwenty^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 81| D

Confirmed promise of previous run when winning 6-runner handicap chase (11/10) at Musselburgh 25 days ago, jumping fluently and drawing clear from 3 out. Can go well again despite a 9 lb hike in the weights.

Form: 7-35521

Reliance Kid⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: A Wilson| OR: 80WS

Well held in bumper for Gordon Elliott and has shown little in novice/handicap hurdles, though did finish runner-up on the second of 2 outings in points earlier in his career, so could fare better now going chasing after a breathing operation.

Form: P/27-990

Stowaway John^t⁹²

Age: 12| Weight: 10-10| J: Craig Nichol| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 79| CD

C&D winner who failed to complete (unseated rider 5 out) on his return here in December.

Form: 71/470-U

Rightbackatyou³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: D R Fox| T: W Coltherd| OR: 79

Poor maiden hurdler who made an unpromising start over fences at Ayr last month. Hard to fancy on the back of that.

Form: 5-687FP

Lewa House^p³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Bruce Lynn| T: C Bissett| OR: 77| CD

Best effort over fences when second of 6 in a handicap here in late 2024/25 but has struggled since. including back over hurdles.

Form: 82-5606

Cave Hill^p,t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Callum Bewley| T: I A Duncan| OR: 76| CD

C&D winner who was let down by his jumping when third in 5-runner handicap chase (9/2) at Sedgefield (21.1f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Eased a further 2 lb in the weights.

Form: 653693

Kingston Rock^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 72

Pulled up all 3 starts this season, including over fences, and easily passed over.

Form: 836-PPP

Forecasts

Didntgotwenty (10/11), Fortunefavorsdbold (2/1), Cave Hill (10/1), Stowaway John (14/1), King Of Cong (16/1), Lewa House (20/1), Park Rules (25/1), Reliance Kid (33/1), Kingston Rock (50/1), Rightbackatyou (50/1), Quickasican (100/1), Baptism Of Fire (100/1)

FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD hasn't won for a long time, but she was thwarted only by one who had slipped a long way in the weights at Leicester on her most recent outing and this could be her day. Didntgotwenty has been hiked up 9 lb for his Musselburgh success but has to be respected in another handicap lacking depth, while Park Rules is worth a look in the betting setting out for new connections.
