Regatta De Blanc^t⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: Freddie Gingell⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 121| BF| D

Unbeaten in 4 points and winner of 2 of 3 starts in hunter chases, scoring by wide margin at Cheltenham (25.3f, heavy) in May. After 5 months off ahead of stable/hurdling debut, possibly needed the run at Chepstow last time, so she's one to note making handicap chase debut.

Form: 1112-13

Ideal Des Bordes²⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 118| D

Won sole outing in points and, after shaping promisingly in bumper, placed in maidens at this course on first 2 starts over hurdles. Pulled up next time, but following a wind op he bounced back to score at Kempton (21f, good to soft) in May. Respected on chase/handicap debut.

Form: 1/332P-1

Regarde^t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 118| D

Showed improved form switched to chasing last season, winning handicaps at Huntingdon on first 2 starts. Placed on 2 of his remaining 3 outings last season, before making a successful return at Kempton (24f, good to soft) last month. Can give another good account.

Form: 113F2-1

Laskalin²¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 118

Useful at his best and, while he hasn't got his head in front this term, he returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when runner-up at Taunton (28.4f, soft) in March. Pulled up at Cheltenham when last seen in April, but he's not dismissed from his current mark.

Form: 564P2P-

Northern Bound^p¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 117

Winless since 2022 but he was placed at Chepstow and Aintree this spring. After 11 weeks off, left behind a lesser effort when fourth of 8 at Worcester (20f, good) 17 days ago and return to this longer trip should suit. Lurks on a dangerous mark.

Form: 42-3044

Concetto^b,t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Fergus Gillard| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 117| D

Mixed record last season but won 2 of his last 4 starts, making all in blinkers at Huntingdon (23.6f, soft) in April. With cheekpieces reapplied after 6 months off, shaped as if better for run at Kempton in October and blinkers now back on. Capable if on a going day.

Form: 61515-5

Bertie Wooster²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 114

Gained reward for consistency over hurdles when opening his account in handicap at Taunton (19f, good) in April. Ran respectably after 6 months off when mid-field at Newton Abbot 23 days ago, but will need to find more as he makes chase debut.

Form: 23421-5

Morfee³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: N F Houlihan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 113

At least as good as ever having another try at chasing last season, making it 2 wins from his final 3 starts when successful at Plumpton (25.7f, good to soft) in January. Possibly needed the run after 10-month absence over hurdles at Exeter last time, but others still preferred.

Form: 72121-P

Law Of Supply^t³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Burke| T: K C Bailey| OR: 113| D

Winning pointer who showed some promise on sole outing in bumpers and placed on last of 3 starts over hurdles in 2023/24. After 7 months off (had wind op), much improved when successful on chase/handicap debut at Worcester (23f, heavy) in October. Major player.

Form: 14/553-1

Hall Lane^p1¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Oscar Palmer⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A King| OR: 111| D

Opened chase account under a change of tactics in 4-runner handicap at Market Rasen (23.9f, good to firm) in July, patiently ridden before idling having looked in control at the last. Below form after 4 months off last time, but he could fare better with cheekpieces added.

Form: 52-3415

Time To Bite^b³²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Bryan Carver| T: C Honour| OR: 98| BF

Got back on the up when making all at Newton Abbot in May and continued in good heart when runner-up at Fakenham (21.2f, good) 13 days later. Should strip fitter for recent run at Plumpton, so he could get back on track with that outing behind him.

Form: 512-124

Forecasts

Ideal Des Bordes (5/2), Regarde (4/1), Law Of Supply (5/1), Regatta De Blanc (5/1), Hall Lane (12/1), Bertie Wooster (14/1), Concetto (16/1), Laskalin (16/1), Time To Bite (20/1), Morfee (20/1), Northern Bound (20/1)

A winner in points, LAW OF SUPPLY was successful at the first attempt in chases when scoring eased-down at Worcester last month, so with further improvement to come he could be capable of following up. Ideal des Bordes appeals as the type to prove at least as good over fences and is feared most on chase/handicap debut, ahead of Regatta de Blanc.
