Cengiz Sadik Memorial Handicap Chase

Kinbara Firstdraft^t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: D R Fox| T: L Kerr| OR: 95

40/1

Fair hurdler at best for Stuart Crawford but only a glimmer of promise in 4 starts over hurdles/fences for new yard this summer. Will find this more suitable than his Perth assignment 2 weeks ago but he needs to display more positive signs before becoming of interest.

Form: 4-57454

33/1

Well served by the drop back in trip when making all for a ready success at Doncaster (19f) in February. However, he disappointed in pair of starts over hurdles/fences during the spring and he returns from nearly 5 months off with his yard in mixed form.

Halfway House Lad^p,t⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: James Moffatt| OR: 87| CWS

8/1

Resurgent upon joining present yard this spring, running out an easy winner at Hexham in May prior to following up over extended 25f here later that month. Pulled up next 2 starts but has had breathing operation since and revival could be on the way in refitted tongue strap.

Form: 66-11PP

Illogical Logic^p⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁵⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 81

7/1

Opened his account from a 5 lb higher mark at Newton Abbot (2½m) last June. Exploits mixed thereafter in 2025/26 but revived by refitting of cheekpieces of late, posting good second at Stratford (3½m) 9 days ago. Potentially well treated now but drop in trip not sure to suit on stable debut.

Form: 346P-52

Blazing Court^p⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr John Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: J E Dixon| OR: 79

22/1

Winning chaser who belatedly proved he retains some ability on the back of a 2-day turnaround when finishing a neck second behind Aill Dubh in a C&D handicap 6 weeks ago. Possibly flattered by his proximity then, though, and overall record suggests he's no sure thing to be in same form now.

Form: 5U-UP72

Judicial Review⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Leah Noreci⁽⁷⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 79| BF| CD

10/3

Has won 3 times at this track (including this race for the last 2 years) and went close to adding to his tally minus usual headgear over extended 25f here in July. Never truly threatened behind Aill Dubh last time but now 8 lb lower than when landing this prize 12 months ago.

Form: P-67P25

Roi Du Roume^b1,t⁶²

11/4

Improved from chase debut fitted with cheekpieces/tongue strap when second in a C&D handicap in June. Quick turnaround possibly caught him out over hurdles here later that month but had a breathing operation ahead of this and blinkers may put an extra edge on him.

Form: 734-426

Path Of Stars⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Benjamin Macey⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 78| C

15/2

In good form over hurdles here in recent months, winning then second in handicaps over 2¾m. Took a while to warm to her task but not beaten far when fourth behind Aill Dubh on last month's chasing bow over C&D. She wouldn't be an obvious one to build on that.

Form: 43-5124

Aill Dubh^p⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 77| CD

9/2

Reacted well to a change of tactics when making all at Newcastle (23f, good) in March and has continued in form, resuming winning ways over C&D 6 weeks ago by a neck from Blazing Court. 2 lb rise undersells his superiority then and big player again.

Form: P31-441

Scoro^p1,t1⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Danny McMenamin| T: L Morgan| OR: 74| D

16/1

6-y-o gelding who has finished well held all 3 starts in novice/maiden hurdles in recent months. However, he was a winning pointer earlier in his career, so one to note in the betting now handicapping over the larger obstacles with cheekpieces/tongue strap enlisted.

Form: 1/P4-466

Fast Deal¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: M C Chapman| OR: 64

66/1

Remains with only the one career success and he looks set for another struggle operating from out of the weights.

Form: FP-8666

Forecasts

Roi Du Roume (11/4), Judicial Review (10/3), Aill Dubh (9/2), Illogical Logic (7/1), Path Of Stars (15/2), Halfway House Lad (8/1), Scoro (16/1), Blazing Court (22/1), Bravethewaves (33/1), Kinbara Firstdraft (40/1), Fast Deal (66/1)

A mere 2 lb rise for last month's C&D success arguably underestimates AILL DUBH's superiority on the day and with his stable continuing to go well, he can follow up. A recent breathing operation may have helped Halfway House Lad and he's feared in a refitted tongue strap. Judicial Review is seeking a hat-trick in this race and completes the shortlist.
