Ben Chambers Memorial Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:27 | Winning time: 5m 16.02s

Oakley's Way^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 105

9/4

Split a pair of next-time-out winners at Wincanton in December and with sights lowered, produced a career-best effort when close second at Plumpton last time. Makes plenty of appeal eased further in grade.

Form: 261362

Jackomy⁷^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 97

10/11

Unexposed 6-y-o progressed again when readily getting off the mark at Wincanton 7 days ago. Yard excels with this type and he can follow up under a penalty.

Form: 960831

D'jo Dela Barriere¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs C Williams| OR: 101| C| D

12/1

Sole horse to complete when landing a double on chase debut here in October and though supported, he was again below form in handicap over further at Hereford last time.

Form: 511556

Kates Choice^t¹²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 96

100/1

Maiden hasn't matched her modest Irish form in either start for new yard, latterly when well beaten over C&D in November.

Form: 5-66695

Little Pi^p³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: S Allwood| OR: 91| BF| C

9/2

Arrives in good heart but was seemingly found out by a 3 lb rise (for his Huntingdon success) when third of 8 over C&D last time, for all that wasn't a bad race for the grade.

Form: 6P2213

Triple Haych²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 87

100/1

Finished second in small-field point but has shown nothing at long odds in trio of novice/maiden hurdles at Hereford, and he's only considered if supported on handicap debut.

Form: 2P900

Forecasts

Jackomy (10/11), Oakley's Way (9/4), Little Pi (9/2), D'jo Dela Barriere (12/1), Kates Choice (100/1), Triple Haych (100/1)

Lightly-raced JACKOMY won in the style of a well-handicapped horse at Wincanton and can defy a penalty. Class-dropper Oakley's Way stands out as the danger.
