WTW Willis Handicap Chase

Off time: 16:50 | Winning time: 6m 13.00s

Nastya^t⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 118| D

11/4

Enhanced a good record when fresh when doubling her tally in 8-runner handicap chase at Limerick (25f, good) a couple of months ago, one losing his rider in front of her and another taking too long to get going from behind. 4 lb rise may leave her vulnerable.

Form: 1/521F-1

Caesar Rock^p⁷⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: Joshua Halford⁽⁷⁾| T: M F Morris| OR: 116| C

9/2

Going through a good spell, finishing second for a third successive start in 11-runner event at Killarney (3¼m, good to soft) in May. Freshened up since and should give his running once again.

Form: 83422-2

Goody Four Shoes⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gibney| OR: 115

9/2

Built on previous promise to finally shed his maiden tag in 7-runner handicap chase at Down Royal (3¼m, good) in May, digging deep under pressure. Ran well when third of 15 in a much stronger race at Roscommon (25f, soft) just over 6 weeks ago but more needed again here.

Form: P/45F-13

Dorans Law^p¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Sugrue⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 108| CD

11/2

Mainly a chaser nowadays but has run over hurdles the last twice, most recently when seventh of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (25f, good) earlier in the month. Tongue tie left off for his return to chasing and others look stronger.

Form: 2PP-657

Ceroc^b,t⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Phillip Enright| T: A Slattery| OR: 102| C

9/4

Moody sort on a long losing run. Did run well when second over C&D in May but predictably failed to back it up returned to timber at Listowel (23f, good to soft) later that month. Potentially well handicapped on best form though hard to win with these days.

Form: 57P6-2P

Forecasts

Ceroc (9/4), Nastya (11/4), Teenage Kiss (10/3), Goody Four Shoes (9/2), Caesar Rock (9/2), Scalpnagoon (9/2), Dorans Law (11/2), Astley (12/1), Duty Bound (20/1)

TEENAGE KISS couldn't have gone much closer to making a winning chasing debut here recently and having pulled well clear of the remainder that day, Conor O'Dwyer's 5-y-o gets the verdict to go one better. Nastya was fortunate to double her tally over fences at Limerick on return, but she could be the one to offer most resistance, while Astley could show more now handicapping so he rounds off the shortlist in a first-time tongue tie.
