Chemical Warfare^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: H Cobden| T: D Pipe| OR: 105| C

13/8

Course winner who is proving progressive for this yard and has landed back-to-back handicaps at Sedgefield (both 26.3f) in recent weeks. Raised 8 lb for latest victory but looks sure to go well again.

Form: 112411

Jimli's Island^p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 94

7/2

Turned a corner since joining new yard, landing a brace of Perth handicaps before good second of 10 at Hexham (20.1f, good, 4/1) 27 days ago, sticking to task. Another bold show is on the cards.

Form: 0/48-112

Ribeye¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: P Atkinson| OR: 91| C

7/1

May have needed outing, back from 12 weeks off, when seventh of 11 in handicap chase (11/1) at Hexham (20.1f, soft) 19 days ago but he isn't the easiest to win with these days.

Form: 24-3F27

Lady Mendoza^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: R Menzies| OR: 89

12/1

Nine-race maiden over hurdles and looked unconvincing on switch to this discipline at Hexham 27 days ago. Others more appealing.

Form: 32-3448

Croagh Patrick^t,v1²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 83

12/1

On a long losing run and arrives on back of disappointing effort at Hexham earlier this month. Now tried in visor for first time.

Form: 9-53646

Ginger Pointe³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: D Brooke| OR: 83

9/2

Made a winning yard/chase debut at Market Rasen (21.4f) in August and run to a similar level both starts since, latest when creditable fourth of 10 in handicap chase at same course (23.9f, good to firm) 33 days ago, doing too much too soon. Shortlist material.

Form: 57-2144

Play By The Rules^p,t⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 80

10/1

Modest winner at 19f over hurdles but is yet to score over fences and posted just respectable fifth of 12 to Jimli's Island in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good, 7/1) 75 days ago.

Form: 9-45555

Forecasts

Chemical Warfare (13/8), Jimli's Island (7/2), Ginger Pointe (9/2), Ribeye (7/1), Play By The Rules (10/1), Lady Mendoza (12/1), Croagh Patrick (12/1)

JIMLI'S ISLAND has done little wrong for his new yard and will appreciate the step back up in trip after his solid effort at Hexham earlier this month. He gets the nod. Chemical Warfare and Ginger Pointe rate the principal dangers.
