High Gosforth Park Golf Club Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
—	1	—	Donna's Double (G) Off the mark over fences at Ayr (20.5f) in January 2023 and a couple of good efforts after. Not seen for over 2 years, though. New yard.	16553P/	Ryan Mania A Nicol	10	77.1kg	17 16/1
8th	2	—	Walking On A Dream (G) Back on track when second at Hexham (20f) last month, pulling well clear with one at the top of his game. Upped further in trip and big run likely if he stays.	1P-3281	Jack Power L Russell & M Scudamore	7	77.1kg	5 4/1
—	3	—	Great Notions (G) Pulled Up P Dual point winner and took a maiden hunter at Hexham (3m) in May. Failed to stay 26f at Kelso over Christmas and drop back in trip will suit.	3235P2	Jack Andrews Fiona Needham	7	77.1kg	11 10/1
—	4	—	Chemical Warfare (G) Pulled Up T A multiple winner for his current yard in 2024/25 (mostly in the North), including over C&D. Should have come on for November Lingfield return and worth a look back here.	71-66P0	C O'Farrell D Pipe	9	77.1kg	23 22/1
5th	5	—	Sunset Hill (M) Consistent hurdler but hasn't gone on from her reappearance in this sphere, bigger fences looking an effort for her at Aintree on Boxing Day for all nearly half of them were omitted.	55U4-23	Conor Rabbitt S Corbett	7	76.7kg	8.50 15/2
—	6	—	Shadows In The Sky (G) Pulled Up P Found improvement since joining James Owen, winning twice and placed several times. Stamina seemingly stretched over 29f at Sedgefield last time and merits respect back down in trip here.	333P23	Alex Chadwick James Owen	10	75.3kg	26 25/1
7th	7	—	Mighty Fleur (M) H Runner-up on 5 of her 8 starts, including in an 8-runner novice hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, soft, 5/1) in November. Rare off day at Uttoxeter last time and now switches to fences for handicap debut.	2572-11	James Bowen M Bowen	6	74.4kg	15 14/1
3rd	8	—	Court At Slip (G) B Has returned in form, shaping better than the distance beaten suggests at Kelso (26f) latest. Back at the scene of his last victory.	23322P-	Mr William Easterby T D Easterby	9	71.7kg	12 11/1
2nd	9	—	Shadow Chaser (G) B Modest form at best over hurdles. Return to this sort of trip will suit on chase debut and not dismissed in first-time blinkers.	PP-2772	B S Hughes A M Thomson	7	70.8kg	6.50 11/2
6th	10	—	Swallows Song (G) B Debut bumper winner in 2022, but remains winless following 14 attempts over hurdles/fences, jumping left in first-time cheekpieces at Musselburgh last time. Blinkers tried now.	744642	Sean Quinlan I Jardine	8	68kg	13 12/1
4th	11	—	Jamesieconn (G) FAV T Point winner who left hurdles form behind when making a successful chase debut at Doncaster (26f) in February. Yet to build on that but well backed for new yard and returned with a decent second at S…	3-24111	Callum Bewley N G Richards	7	66.2kg	3.75 11/4
1st	12	—	Uptown Harry (G) V Not the force of old but fared better than of late from a mark that's fallen a long way when second at Musselburgh over this trip 5 weeks ago, putting in good late work. Must back that up now.	621234	Charlie Maggs Mrs J Walton	12	64.4kg	17 16/1
