Dripsey Moon

11st 5lb

J: Brian Hughes

T: Donald McCain

Has done very well this season for new yard over fences, winning twice at Perth (2m4f, good) and going close there (2m4f, good) last time; he's going into the unknown stamina-wise but was a close second over 3m2f at Newton Abbot (good to soft) in July and this progressive 7yo is not ruled out.

Sent straight chasing by Donald McCain and has finished first or second in all four starts from 2m4f to 3m2f; jumped well out in front to win over C&D 17 days ago off just 2lb lower; might be vulnerable to something better handicapped but has a solid chance.

Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner who failed to offer all that much in two handicaps in that discipline; however, as a brother to top chaser Presenting Percy, he could do better in this sphere.

Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner in April; four ordinary runs over hurdles before shaping much better when second in a 2m4f novices' handicap chase at Perth in September; shorter trip may not have been ideal last time; cheekpieces on now, takes a big step up in trip.

Prefers these smaller fields than the 15 rivals he took on at Market Rasen two starts back and he duly pushed Dripsey Moon all the way over C&D last time; they're very closely matched again.

Largely consistent in early part of last season and went very close at Kelso (2m4f, good) in April, after a break; slightly disappointing when dropped back to 2m here last month but has possibilities if this much longer trip suits (unraced beyond about 2m4f under rules).

Form & Verdict
Good-ground wins at Bangor (2m4f) and Market Rasen (2m5f) this summer and ran well last time at Cartmel as heavy ground was probably not ideal; edging up the weights but should be in the thick of it.
