Tip Top Clean Convenience Handicap Chase

Paint The Dream 0.5pt EW 25/1 – Has not shown much in 4 starts for the new yard but that has been in some very good company and this rates a step back in class today. Had returned from a 650 lay off for the first of those runs and ran well for a long way in very good company on all 4 starts. Has been freshened up with a short break for this and has now fallen to an insulting mark on old form but will need to rediscover something to get involved. Conditions look ideal and this could be the last chance saloon but the chance is taken that the yard have seen enough to suggest there is still something left in the tank.

Tip Top Sensational Shower Handicap Hurdle

Tom Taggle 1pt win only 13/2 – Comfortably held in all 5 starts to date but they have all come over inadequate trips and they have not all been void of promise. Has been bred for this longer trip today and will no doubt go on to make a decent staying chaser. Was only coaxed into the race having been sat off the pace throughout at Taunton 2 runs back but looked a dour stayer crying out for this extra yardage. Yard come here in form and winners have come from that Taunton race. Will need to be forgiven latest run however but today’s quicker ground should be ideal.

Cappagh Browne Utilities Ltd Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle

Press Your Luck 1pt win only 14/1 – Appears to be going the wrong way since returning from 637 days off the track but he was entitled to be in need of the run when tailed off against a very good field on return that has produced 6 winners since and despite finishing last on his latest run that would have been a big boost to the fitness. That run came on bottomless ground and this one needs it much quicker like he will encounter today. Both runs will have put this one back somewhere near full fitness and it interesting that the yard have kept hold of this one despite the trouble they have had getting him back on track. Has dropped to a very attractive mark and comes here with this family pairing (trainer/jockey) bang in form.

BetGoodwin Sussex Champion Chase Handicap Chase

Westport Cove 1pt win only 11/2 – Has acquitted himself pretty well in 4 beginners chase runs to date and they have come in some pretty stiff company. The latest was without doubt the best of the 4 runs when only defeated a nk by a rival rated 146 over fences, they ran off level weights that day and we could be looking at a potential top grade performer dropping into handicap company for the first time in this sphere. Bred to make a much better chaser and looks a big chance in Willie’s pursuit of the Trainers Championship.

Celebrating 60 Years Of Cleveland Mountain Rescue Handicap

Little Muddy 1pt win only 13/2 – Looks regressive over the last 12 months but something in the form looks deliberate, a run on the AW which doesn’t suit, Heavy ground run which again does not suit. As a result this one has fallen 20lb in the weights since this time last year, when he was running well enough in much better company. Now some 17lb below his last winning mark, which was almost 2 years ago but his form from last year alone tells us he retains enough to pick up a race like this. Best form has come on quicker ground and for one reason or another things have just not fell right for this one until today.

Celebrating 60 Years Of Cleveland Mountain Rescue Handicap

Wiggins B 1pt win only 7/1 – Hard to make a case for on his first 3 runs but has been bred to be smarter than what has been shown and more can be expected on ideal ground from what looks a fair mark on this ones handicap debut. Yard have started the season well and despite the last few seasons bucking the trend, they have done well with their runners at the track and are very profitable to follow with a LSP of +75 here.
