A.W. Jefferys (Southampton) Ltd Handicap Chase

Off time: 19:22 | Winning time: 4m 55.50s

Jaffa Cake^h1,t1³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 95

14/1

Second on bumper debut last March. Hasn't really managed to build on that over hurdles, handed a stiff-opening mark and pulled up both starts in handicaps this year. Hood/tongue fitted for chase debut but would need to see market support to make him of interest.

Form: 0-704PP

Kitsilano^v1²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 93| D

14/1

Opened his chase account at the seventh attempt at Leicester (2m) in February. However, made hard work of finishing third at Plumpton next time and went badly in snatches when distant fourth over 2¾m here 4 weeks ago. Visor goes on in place of cheekpieces.

Form: 343134

It's A Breeze^h,t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jay Tidball⁽⁵⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 93

8/1

Maiden who crucially raced more efficiently when finishing an improved second over hurdles at Wincanton in March. Lesser effort followed back there 23 days ago but certainly possible switch to chasing can see him in a better light. One to note back down in trip.

Form: 388526

Fourtwofour¹⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽³⁾| T: K Jewell| OR: 91

80/1

Offered little all 3 starts in maiden hurdles for Cian Michael Collins last year. Placed once from 2 starts in Irish points since but he's probably best watched now handicapping over fences for new stable.

Form: 4-003P

Majestic Moment¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Bryan Carver| T: D Summersby| OR: 91| C| D

10/3

Fortuitous winner of handicap chase over shorter trip here in October and clearly up to speed following 5 months off when adding to his tally at Exeter (19f) 17 days ago. Remains early days with him and possibilities again up 4 lb.

Form: 458141

King Of The Story^t¹⁴⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: P Gundry| OR: 90| C

66/1

Gained a third 2½m chase win this season at Warwick in September but pulled up next 2 starts having been let down by his jumping. Will clear need to be sharper in that department if he's to feature back from 5 months off.

Form: 11P1PP

A Little Something²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: J J Burke| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 89

6/1

Maiden hurdler who stepped up on her chase debut effort when runner up at Ludlow (2½m) 25 days ago, that despite meeting with interference and her jumping still lacking polish. Likely we've yet to see all she has to offer and claims from same mark.

Form: 672-3P2

Hatos^p,t²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Freddie Gingell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 84

4/1

Tumbled down the weights and encouragingly more consistent of late, placed again when third at Wincanton (2½m) 23 days ago. Fancied to be thereabouts again in this groove.

Form: 4P5223

Gorcombe Moonshine^p¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Kimber| T: R Walford| OR: 78| C

10/3

Course winner who backed up his previous effort without looking entirely straightforward when just touched off in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. However, stuck to his task well enough on that occasion and a repeat gives him claims once more.

Form: 0-33622

Ballybay^h,t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: M McGrath| OR: 75

25/1

Has clearly had issues and limited encouragement to glean from 3 starts over fences/hurdles for present yard this season.

Form: 60P/PP5

Millies Mite^p,t¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: M Goldstein| T: K Jewell| OR: 72| CD

18/1

Returned to form from out of the blue when landing this race for second successive season 12 months ago. Essentially underwhelming since but was going with more encouragement prior to unseating back here 16 days ago (saddle slipped). Not ruled out.

Form: 1-P5PPU

Greenways^p,t¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Paddy Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 71

20/1

Confirmed his previous chasing promise when winning Uttoxeter handicap (2m, good) in July. His form has gone the wrong way since, though application of a tongue strap saw him fare a little better when third at Market Rasen last week. Needs to build on that here.

Form: P5PP63

Forecasts

Majestic Moment (10/3), Gorcombe Moonshine (10/3), Hatos (4/1), A Little Something (6/1), It's A Breeze (8/1), Jaffa Cake (14/1), Kitsilano (14/1), Millies Mite (18/1), Greenways (20/1), Ballybay (25/1), King Of The Story (66/1), Fourtwofour (80/1)

A LITTLE SOMETHING improved on her chase debut form despite not finding things panning out ideally when runner up at Ludlow 25 days ago and she could be worth siding with in a wide-open race for a stable amongst the winners. It's A Breeze commands a look now tackling larger obstacles, with Gorcombe Moonshine, Exeter scorer Majestic Moment and Hatos just a trio of others to consider.
