William Hill Epic Boosts Handicap (Div 1)

Off time: 14:58 | Winning time: 1m 31.18s

An Outlaw's Grace^p³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 82

14/1

Near useful as a juvenile but has stood little racing since. Drawn on the wing, which isn't ideal, but he at least benefits from a drop in grade having finished last of 7 on reappearance at Lingfield.

Form: 670/83-7

(8)

Quest For Fun^t¹⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 81| D

16/1

Plenty of creditable efforts under similar conditions last year, though finished his season on a low note over C&D and his record first time up isn't anything special.

Form: 722620-

It'sneverjustone¹⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 81| D

11/2

Much improved when landing second leg of a double at the Galway Festival last summer and while unable to land a blow in higher grades subsequently, he's not discounted with sights lowered on return.

Form: 511085-

Packetofbiscuits^b¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: J Mackie| OR: 79| D

9/1

Narrowly denied a 7f Southwell hat-trick by a similarly progressive sort (who's won again since) last time. No reason he shouldn't translate that form back onto turf and looks likely to be in the mix.

Form: 573112

Under The Twilight¹²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies| T: M Blake| OR: 78| D

11/1

Form tailed off at the end of last season but as a result, she's 4 lb lower than when finishing 2 lengths third in this race 12 months ago (having won on reappearance the previous season). Not ruled out if finding some cover from stall 1.

Form: 340078-

Jimmy Speaking¹⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 78| BF

10/3

Hit a purple patch last summer but had well and truly gone off the boil when tenth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth in October. Looked a tricky ride that day, too.

Form: 213700-

(13)

Nakaaha^h¹⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Egan| T: G Harris| OR: 77

40/1

Struggled in higher grades following a double (under this rider) at Newbury/Ffos Las last summer, for all she might have been unsuited by soft ground on latest start in September.

Form: 011608-

(12)

Green Pursuit¹⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 76

25/1

Made a winning reappearance at Catterick last spring and having not been seen to best effect on stable debut here in October, he could be worth another chance off a workable mark.

Form: 804720-

Grabajabba^v⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 75| BF| D

12/1

Close third on turf debut over C&D this time last year and looked as good as ever when filling the same position in 12-runner handicap at Southwell on latest start. Was allowed his head (following a better start) that day and could make a bold bid if getting away on terms.

Form: 746153

(7)

Tactical Plan¹⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 74| BF| D

10/1

Creditable fourth in C&D handicap before running right up to his best when close second at Redcar on latest start in November and while these conditions won't be an issue, he's perhaps best on soft/heavy.

Form: 633842-

Backspin¹⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 74| BF

33/1

Again started slowly when sixth of 13 in handicap at Southwell on final start for Richard Hughes in October (changed hands for 14,000 gns later that month). Headgear left off for stable debut and probably isn't one for maximum faith.

Form: 855246-

(3)

Just Queen High^b¹⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 73

25/1

Made it 2-2 at Nottingham in 6f handicap that was run to suit (heavy) in October, seemingly much improved for first-time blinkers/testing too, though she's far from certain to build on that under different conditions.

Form: 55171-

(11)

Golden Strike^v²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 72| D

7/2

Dual turf winner (ground versatile) who's shaped well since a bounce back victory at Newcastle, coming home well behind a subsequent winner who got first run there last time. Hopefully they'll go quicker in this big-field handicap, and he looks sure to go close if that's the case.

Form: 85-8122

(14)

Beauty Choice²³

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 70| D

14/1

Went close on latest turf start at Catterick in October and having not been seen to best effect on either all-weather run this year, he's one to consider off 3 lb below his latest winning mark.

Form: 4270-44

(15)

Alfa Whiteburd⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 69WS

28/1

Fine second off lower turf mark on seasonal reappearance at York last season and having undergone another breathing operation since finishing midfield in Newcastle handicap in January (cheekpieces now removed), he's not dismissed with Jason Hart taking over.

Form: 00097-6

(9)

Victory Sound¹⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 65| D

80/1

Showed nothing for new yard last season and arrives with plenty to prove.

Form: 2/99609-

Forecasts

Jimmy Speaking (10/3), Golden Strike (7/2), It'sneverjustone (11/2), Packetofbiscuits (9/1), Tactical Plan (10/1), Under The Twilight (11/1), Grabajabba (12/1), An Outlaw's Grace (14/1), Beauty Choice (14/1), Quest For Fun (16/1), Green Pursuit (25/1), Just Queen High (25/1), Alfa Whiteburd (28/1), Backspin (33/1), Nakaaha (40/1), Victory Sound (80/1)

Hopefully they go quick enough for GOLDEN STRIKE who came home with a rattle on the all-weather last time and should have more to offer back on turf. Grabajabba isn't fully unexposed on just his third turf start and needs considering along with the thriving Packetofbiscuits.
