DECLARED RUNNERS 7 2021: MIDNIGHT GINGER 5 11 9 James Martin 17-2 (Andrew Martin) 7 ran

Running for the first time since Wind Surgery No 6.

Stewards Note: ROYLE STEEL: Following its run on 22/4/2022 it was reported that the horse would prefer an easier surface. NATTY NIGHT: Following its run on 8/11/2022 it was reported that the horse hung right handed.

Probable S.P’s: 15-8 Gerard Mentor (FR), 7-2 Ilanz (FR), 9-2 Natty Night (GB), 11-1 Iceman Dennis (FR), 12-1 Will Sting (IRE), 14-1 Ithaka (IRE), 16-1 Royle Steel (FR)

PLAY SMARTER

GERARD MENTOR won easily under Kai Lenihan at the beginning of last week and a 7lb penalty may not prevent him going in again. Natty Night shaped well on his reappearance and his yard’s good form provides hope he can build on that so he’s feared most ahead of Milton Harris handicap newcomer Ilanz.

TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.GERARD MENTOR (FR) 2.NATTY NIGHT 3.ILANZ (FR)

TIMEFORM VIEW Half-brother to fair 2m hurdle winner Rafiki and, having shown modest form on the Flat, showed a bit to work on when third in a juvenile hurdle at Ludlow for new yard 28 days ago Should be on the premises.

TIMEFORM VIEW Useful course bumper winner who made a successful start over hurdles in 16-runner maiden at Chepstow (19.4f) 37 days ago, rallying to lead again soon after last.

TIMEFORM VIEW Without a win since early last year but went down by only the narrowest of margins to an in-form rival at Lingfield (23f, good to soft) last week. Fancied to be bang there with a repeat provided this doesn’t come too soon. 24Nov Lin 23f HcpH soft 2/8 Shot Boii (IRE) nose 4Nov Hex 23f HcpH soft 8/13 Fenland Tiger 61/2l 30Sep Hex 23f HcpH gd-sf 10/11 Hoganville (IRE) 46l

TFRHHHHI BHA96 FORM 660-513 D BF

TIMEFORM VIEW Down in weights and opened his account in 13-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft). Backed that up with close third at Hereford last month. Not much promise when tried over fences last season but still early days in this sphere. 8Nov Her 21f HcpH gd-sf 3/11 Kiss My Face s.h 27Oct Str 18f HcpH good 1/13 Guguss Collonges (FR) 31/2l 15Oct Str 18f HcpH good 5/15 Samatian (IRE) 41/2

TFRHHHII BHA92 FORM 46/25P-P

TIMEFORM VIEW Has been given a chance by the handicapper but offered little for new yard after 13 months off (formerly with Ali Stronge) at Uttoxeter (20f, good to soft, 12/1) 34 days ago Blinkered for 1st time 28Oct Utt 20f HcpC good P/12 Conceal (IRE) Sep21 Wor 16f HcpC good P/7 Sarasota Star (IRE) Jul21 Str 19f HcpC good 5/7 Royal Ruby 37l

PLAY SMARTER

It could be worth chancing KNOCKNAMONA, who was presumably having a pipe-opener back over hurdles at Kelso on return and is on a good mark judged on his win at Newcastle in January Onenightintown, Fazayte and Supasunrise all arrive in decent form so must be respected.

TIMEFORM VIEW Returned to form when runner-up over hurdles at Southwell in March. Well held on his next 2 starts, but after 5 months off finished second of 4 back over fences at Huntingdon (23.6f, soft) 23 days ago Shortlisted.

TIMEFORM VIEW Having dropped in the weights, recorded a third success at Wetherby (24.2f) in March. Shaped as if needing the run after 8 months off when down the field at the same C&D 19 days ago Others more persuasive. 12Nov

S.P’s:

TFRHHHII BHAFORM P56TIMEFORM VIEW Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to fair chaser Getmegold. Failed to make the frame in three points but still much respected for top yard

RACECOURSE DEBUT

TFRHHHII BHA FORM TIMEFORM VIEW £42,000 3-y-o, Cloudings gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser

Maonlai, stayed 3 1/4m. Noteworthy newcomer, especially if the market vibes are positive.

RACECOURSE DEBUT

TFRHHIII BHAFORM TIMEFORM VIEW £2,000 3-y-o, Califet mare. Sister to bumper winner Emzara, and half-sister to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Here Comes Johny. Other newcomers appeal more on this occasion.

RACECOURSE DEBUT

Secundus (IRE)

Little form to go on and the market could prove highly informative. RESPLENDENT GREY hails from the in-form Olly Murphy yard and this Walk In The Park gelding is fancied to go in at the first time of asking from Donnacha who showed up well when third in a Chepstow bumper on his debut. Newcomers I Am De Chaillac, Undercover Lover and Trip Switch all need factoring in too. RACE TIME DISTANCE GREAT BRITISH BONUS SCHEME The Great British Bonus (GBB) offers multiple bonuses of up to £20,000 per eligible race for British-bred fillies and mares.

CAZOO YEAH!
