Staffordshire Chamber Of Commerce Staffordshire Plate Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:35 | Winning time: 5m 58.42s

Horantzau D'airy^t,p1⁵²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 137

20/1

Placed in Kerry and Munster Nationals for Willie Mullins in 2024 but signs of decline with 3 different yards since.

Form: 90/28P0-

Joyeux Machin^t,p⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 137| D

2/1

Ended a long losing run facing less exacting opposition at Bangor 6 weeks ago, though the winning margin probably flattered him to some extent. Career best probably required if he's to defy 5 lb rise.

Form: 784F91-

King's Threshold^t,p1⁵¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 136| D

9/2

Recorded a hat-trick last season and successful at Newbury just after Christmas, travelling easily and scoring with something to spare. Found Kim Muir too demanding since but can make presence felt back at this level with headgear applied.

Form: 1P/0410-

Peaky Boy^t,p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Benjamin Macey⁽⁵⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 134| D

9/2

Won 3 of 4 starts over hurdles/fences (all at Cheltenham) for Nicky Henderson in 2024. Well below that level in 4 runs for current yard but this at least represents a drop in class and worth another go at this trip.

Form: 133/F00-

Bhaloo^p¹⁵⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 134

6/1

A dual winner (at up to 2m4f) last season but arrives under a cloud, pulled up at Newbury when last seen in November.

Form: 13/63PP-

Party Vibes²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: C Gethings| T: H D Daly| OR: 125

7/2

Won a competitive mares' handicap at Cheltenham in December and shrugged off a couple of lesser efforts to resume winning ways in a small-field chase at Hereford last month, albeit shaping third best for much of the way. Worth another go at this longer trip.

Form: 4/31P51-

Forecasts

Joyeux Machin (2/1), Calimystic (3/1), Party Vibes (7/2), Peaky Boy (9/2), King's Threshold (9/2), Bhaloo (6/1), Cruz Control (6/1), Horantzau D'airy (20/1), Miralago (25/1), Capodanno (25/1)

CALIMYSTIC has hardly put a foot wrong over fences so far and can make it 3 from 3 in this sphere with further progress likely. King's Threshold and Cruz Control are feared most back in calmer waters.
