Women's Community Matters Handicap Chase

Off time: 17:28 | Winning time: 4m 23.50s

Fort Randall⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr O McGill⁽⁵⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 105| BF

85/40

Easily landed a gamble back from 15-month absence in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f) in April and ran at least as well when third of 14 at the same course 6 weeks ago. Didn't offer much in 3 chase starts for previous yard but could fare better now handicapping in this sphere.

Form: 3637/1-3

Ghasham^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: S Bowen| T: S England| OR: 102

11/8

Didn't kick on over hurdles for Dan Skelton last season but encouraging start over fences for current yard, runner-up in handicaps at Hexham and over this C&D (no match for Zumbi) in May. Landed the odds back at Hexham last time and he can give another good account.

Form: 455-221

Intenzo^h,t1³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 99

16/1

Fair maiden hurdler who made a promising chasing debut when runner-up in handicap at Sedgefield in March. After a few disappointing efforts, got back on track when second of 5 at Market Rasen last time. Tongue strap now added.

Form: 425-462

Blue Reed^p,t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Danny Gilligan| T: C Collins| OR: 97

9/1

Finally off the mark in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f) last month. Has had only the 4 chase starts, his best effort when fifth of 9 in this race last year, but task is now to transfer his latest effort over hurdles to fences.

Form: 26745-1

Bentley Road^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: D R Fox| T: W Coltherd| OR: 96

28/1

Maiden pointer who has shown only modest form in chases, in hunter chases on first 3 outings. Finished closer than previously when second of 6 on handicap debut at Hexham 15 days ago, though there wasn't much depth to the race. More required with cheekpieces back on.

Form: P/R25-42

Dexter^b,t³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 93| CD

13/2

In good heart over fences last year, scoring over this C&D in August. Probably needed the run after 6 months off when well-beaten fourth of 7 at Bangor 5 weeks ago, so no surprise to see him closer to form back at this venue.

Form: 22P27-4

Clean Getaway^p³²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Joe Williamson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 89| D

16/1

Capitalised on a drop in the weights when successful over fences at Sedgefield in April. Bounced back from a lesser effort over hurdles when third of 9¾ lengths third of 7 to Zumbi over this C&D last time, though he didn't find much under pressure.

Forecasts

Ghasham (11/8), Fort Randall (85/40), Conquer The Breeze (9/4), Zumbi (3/1), Dexter (13/2), Blue Reed (9/1), Intenzo (16/1), Clean Getaway (16/1), Cuzco Du Mathan (16/1), Dream Jet (20/1), Bentley Road (28/1)

ZUMBI is thriving at this track and can bring up the hat trick if turning out again following his victory on Friday under his young rider. Conquer The Breeze is much respected, though, having won 3 of his 4 starts for current yard, while Cuzco du Mathan is interesting having dropped further in the weights.
