Tanqueray At Say When Ponteland Handicap Chase

Off time: 16:35 | Winning time: 6m 17.98s

The Jad Factor^v,t⁵⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: P W Wadge| T: A M Thomson| OR: 95| C

7/1

Tends to race lazily but it's hard to knock his strike-rate since joining Sandy Thomson, including 19f Wetherby reappearance win on soft in December. Respectable fourth over 2½m here (good to soft) since. Considered.

Form: 1PP1-14

Hawkseye View^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: B S Hughes| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 92| C

9/4

Finally got off the mark under Rules in a 2½m course handicap (good to soft) 11 days ago. Stays 3m. Should remain very competitive off 3 lb higher.

Form: 5-32541

Alltalknoaction^t1,p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 91

10/1

Shaped well when second over 3m at Market Rasen on Boxing Day but ran poorly back at the Lincolnshire venue last month. Has a first-time tongue tie added to his cheekpieces now.

Form: PP-4F2P

Swallows Song^b,t³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: I Jardine| OR: 90| BF

7/1

Bumper winner on debut but has looked a weak finisher in 16 winless attempts over hurdles/fences, failing to justify market support after a breathing operation when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Ayr 32 days ago. Finished tired there and others make more appeal.

Form: 4-74464

Mobile Mamma³⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 89| CD

15/2

Failed to trouble the judged in 4 hurdles but this point winner proved a different proposition switched to fences when seeing off 6 rivals over C&D last March. Looked open to progress but hasn't been seen since. The betting should guide as to whether she's likely to be fully primed after a lay-off.

Form: 1/555P1-

Lord De Vinci^v1¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Callum Bewley| T: D Bourke| OR: 84

8/1

Maiden hurdler who hasn't offered much obvious encouragement in 3 handicaps since switched to fences. A first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) needs to have a positive effect.

Form: 59-4487

Eveque⁴⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 10-13| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Mrs J Walton| OR: 80

33/1

Veteran who capitalised on a reduced mark when springing a surprise at Hexham in November but not the biggest surprise he's failed to get close to that form in 3 outings since.

Form: 88-15P9

Aill Dubh^p⁴⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 75

22/1

Poor maiden hurdler in Ireland. Did win a point over there last winter but has failed to complete in 3 handicap chases since joining Micky Hammond. Can only be watched.

Form: 031-UPP

Halfway House Lad^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Charlie Price| T: M A Barnes| OR: 74| CD

5/1

Back-to-back wins last spring (including this race) but he's failed to make a significant impact since finishing second at Hexham last summer.

Form: 435536

Goodoldbill²³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Walton| OR: 72| CD

17/2

C&D winner in 2023 but didn't really show anything again until winning a small-field Sedgefield handicap last month. Knuckled down well but his record suggests he's far from sure to turn up in the same form this afternoon.

Form: 88-P7P1

Forecasts

Hawkseye View (9/4), Halfway House Lad (5/1), Athair Mor (5/1), Swallows Song (7/1), The Jad Factor (7/1), Mobile Mamma (15/2), Lord De Vinci (8/1), Goodoldbill (17/2), Alltalknoaction (10/1), Aill Dubh (22/1), Eveque (33/1)

Although ATHAIR MOR has been runner-up on his last 4 starts he doesn't obviously do anything wrong and can deservedly get his head in front now stepping back up in trip. Recent course scorer Hawkseye View is feared most ahead of The Jad Factor.
