Citipost Amateur Jockeys' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Herakles Westwood²¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: W Greatrex| OR: 135| CD

9/2

Successful over 25f at Cheltenham on New Year's Day before finding the spring festivals a shade too competitive. Runner-up in this race 12 months ago and leading amateur rider booked. Has to be of interest.

Form: 5/2410P-

Sound And Fury^p²⁵²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Freddie Robson⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 126| D

14/1

Lightly raced for his age and enhanced good strike rate over fences in 7-runner handicap chase at Carlisle (25f) in February, staying on well. Could manage only fifth at Sandown a month later and mark looks about right (sixth in last year's renewal).

Form: 7/16815-

Little Ledgend^b1,t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr James King| T: O Murphy| OR: 125| BF

11/4

Has quickly made up into a better chaser than hurdler, winning a pair of Worcester handicaps in August/September. Lost his unbeaten record but shaped well when third over C&D under this rider 3 weeks ago and in a change of headgear, he remains of interest.

Form: 3-22113

Karnaval Point^b,t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Lucas Murphy⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 123

9/2

Quick off the mark for new yard when winning at Worcester and at Uttoxeter earlier this season. Kept busy since and got back on track after a couple of subdued efforts when placed the last twice, latterly over C&D 3 weeks ago fitted with a tongue tie for the first time.

Form: 635623

Our Soldier¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr D Doyle| T: D Hogan| OR: 122| D

11/2

Won 3m handicap hurdles at Wexford and Bellewstown in 2025. Has made a promising start over fences for Denis Hogan, not always fluent but still finished runner-up in the Cork National (3½m) 2 weeks ago, Unexposed as a stayer.

Form: 2/11-732

Dinoland^t,v¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr O McGill| T: W R Crawford| OR: 120| BF

9/2

Much improved for his current yard when landing handicap chases at Downpatrick (3m) and Tramore (2¾m) in May. Failed to complete the hat-trick switched to hurdling after a break but confirmed he's still in top form over the larger obstacles when second at Down Royal 2 weeks ago.

Form: PP-1152

Brucejack¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr D J O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Fahy| OR: 118

12/1

Thorough stayer who finally got off the mark in 10-runner handicap chase at Down Royal (3¼m, good to soft) in May. Brushed aside over hurdles on return from a break but much more like it when third at Down Royal 2 weeks ago, 5 lengths behind Dinoland.

Form: 8517-83

Awaythelad³⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr Samuel Scott⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 112

25/1

Won 3m Southwell handicap chase in March 2025. Didn't fire in 3 runs last season and again folded alarmingly on last month's reappearance.

Form: 14/P7P-5

Ladies Well^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Mr A P Ryan| T: A Slattery| OR: 110

7/1

Has taken well to chasing this season, winning 23f handicaps at Killarney in July and August before finding another jolt of improvement for latest success at Roscommon. Shaped as though still in form when fourth at Down Royal 2 weeks ago, though was behind 2 re-opposing rivals.

Forecasts

Little Ledgend (4/1), Herakles Westwood (9/2), Transmission (11/2), Karnaval Point (11/2), Dinoland (13/2), Our Soldier (15/2), Jaccours (8/1), Ladies Well (11/1), Sound And Fury (11/1), Brucejack (14/1), Awaythelad (25/1), Top Guy (25/1)

Despite losing his unbeaten record over fences, LITTLE LEDGEND emerged with plenty of credit when third in a similar amateur riders' handicap over C&D 3 weeks ago. In a change of headgear he's marginally preferred to Herakles Westwood and Transmission, both of whom have previous in this race.
