Livescore Bet Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Chase (Go North Red Rum Series Qualifier)

Runners: 2 runners

Type: Chase Turf

Surface: Turf

Weather: Mostly sunny

Form: 11-5P3 CD

Last run: 19 days

W: 12st 0lb

7 yo Gelding

OR: 100

Form & Verdict
Made all in consecutive races (one over C&D) for Sandy Thomson when cheekpieces were added last season; ran poorly in November, after a break, but showed a lot more zest when third (albeit behind Gipsy Lee Rose and well held in the end) for new stable at Carlisle (3m2f, soft) last month, and the return to this C&D is sure to suit.

Has rather mixed record since winning twice (2m7f/3m) for Sandy Thomson towards end of last season but ran big race before succumbing to Super Citizen at Carlisle (3m, good) a fortnight ago; a possible.

Form & Verdict
Ended last season in good form, most notably when winning by 13l at Hexham (3m, heavy), but made a low-key reappearance when well-held sixth behind Gipsy Lee Rose at Carlisle (3m2f, soft) last month.

J: Gregor Walkingshaw

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Low-mileage mare who got right back on track (under today's rider Gregor Walkingshaw) when a clear second of 11 over C&D 24 days ago; up 2lb but she holds leading claims for yard back among the winners.

Heavy-ground chase winner at 3m; close up over C&D in November (soft) but not quite at that level since and bit to find with Jirko on a recent clash here.

J: Derek Fox

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Best effort when running away from 12 rivals at Hexham (3m, heavy) in April 2024; hasn't always had suitable conditions since, and she lost a shoe when bidding for a win in the same race 201 days ago; may still have some potential and she's now only 2lb higher than for the win.

5/1

Non-runners

Eveque, Gipsy Lee Rose, Goodtimes Badtimes, Nights In Venice, Onenightintown, Uncle Mac, Wearelongterm

Verdict

Gipsy Lee Rose arrives in good form but the suggestion is GOODTIMES BADTIMES, who went close on his latest outing at Sedgefield in October and has a notable course hurdle win on his record. Wearelongterm (second choice) was only seventh over C&D last month but he travelled sweetly for a long way and looks quite interesting on this third run after a long layoff. C&D winner Whosmydaddy is next on the list.[Chris Wilson]
