Widmer Handicap Chase

4YO plus | Class 5 | 2m 4f | 8 Runners | Turf

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: K Brogan| T: G Hanmer| OR: 105| C

Pulled up nearly as many times as he's completed for this yard but has run well to a point over 23f here the last twice and the drop back to 2½m promises to suit this course scorer.

Form: 4P-P364

A Little Something²³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 105| BF

7/4

Won handicaps at Stratford and Fontwell in May/June and looked set to complete the hat-trick when stumbling and unseating just after the last back at Stratford last month. The one who profited from her departure at Stratford has won again since so she still looks well treated after a 5 lb rise.

Form: P22-11U

Greer Hill^p,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: William Shanahan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 90| BF| C

7/1

Limited impact over hurdles but a different proposition switched to the larger obstacles when causing a 28/1 upset over the extended 2m here last month. Can have his subsequent course effort ignored after being wiped out at the start. Player if as effective back up in trip.

Form: 6P-P815

Holy Legend^h⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: James Best| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 88

3/1

Has looked more straightforward since the hood was applied and showed much improved form to get off the mark in a weak affair at Fontwell (2¼m, good to firm) in May. Bettered that form when second of 9 over C&D (good to soft) in May. Respected in his current mood.

Form: 7R56-12

Traveling Soldier^v⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 86

9/2

Stopped the slide after a couple of pulled-up finishes when third of 6 at Southwell (2½m, good) in a first-time visor (retained) 7 weeks ago. Market Rasen win last July came off 2 lb higher so has handicapping scope if building on that.

Form: 123P-P3

King Of The Story^t²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: Benjamin Poste| T: P Gundry| OR: 83| CD

12/1

Two of his 3 wins in the first half of last season came over C&D in July but hasn't been in the same form this summer, finishing only seventh of 9 over C&D 3 weeks ago. Bounce back needed.

Form: PP4-2P7

Crackerjack Queen^p,t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Jack Andrews| T: T Ellis| OR: 82

8/1

Surpassed hurdles form at the first attempt when second of 6 at Southwell (20.5f) last month but failed to build on it when 21 lengths fourth over C&D 3 weeks ago, finding less than looked likely.

Form: 063-524

Boskill Borden^p²⁹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: D A Rees| OR: 79

16/1

On a long losing run over hurdles and was tailed off some way out having been none too fluent on chasing debut at Southwell (2½m, good to firm) when last seen in October.

Form: 723697-

Forecasts

A Little Something (6/4), Holy Legend (9/4), Traveling Soldier (7/1), Doyouknowwhatimean (10/1), Greer Hill (10/1), Crackerjack Queen (12/1), King Of The Story (25/1), Boskill Borden (25/1)

A LITTLE SOMETHING still looks well treated given the horse she looked set to beat when exiting just after the last at Stratford last month has gone in again since. Last month's course scorer Greer Hill didn't get the chance to show what he could do from his revised mark back here last time and is second choice ahead of Holy Legend.
