Charlie's Halfway To 100 Handicap Chase

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
3rd	1	—	Zero Tolerance (G) Plenty of placed efforts to his name over fences but still a maiden and once again didn't find much when below-form fourth of 5 at Wetherby (15f, good) on latest start 6 weeks ago.	3/2334-3	Conor Ring Mrs C Williams	9	76.2kg	10 9/1
2nd	2	—	Ghasham (G) T Drawn a blank since Market Rasen handicap hurdle success for Ian Williams in March 2023. Has left Dan Skelton since finishing a well-held fifth at Plumpton in March. Switches to fences for new yard.	55-2213	Jonathan England S England	7	75.7kg	7.50 13/2
—	3	—	Starman (G) HT NON RUNNER.	P2PP7-4	Non Runner Miss J E Foster	10	73.5kg	21 20/1
4th	4	—	V Twelve (G) Largely consistent on the Flat last year. Not disgraced back hurdling at Carlisle in October but pulled up at Wetherby later that month. Not seen again until well held on the Flat at Catterick 31 day…	41373-9	Callum Bewley M Todhunter	7	73kg	6.50 11/2
—	5	—	Baptism Of Fire (G) Pulled Up P One-time fairly useful hurdler/winning chaser for Henry de Bromhead, but no recent form and increasingly looks one to avoid.	P/PPPP6-	Jonathon Bewley J K Hunter	11	73kg	151 150/1
—	6	—	We Got Your Back (G) Pulled Up P C&D winner on good in October and runner-up back here (good to soft) 4 weeks later. Below par since but back on that successful mark if a return to Hexham sparks a revival.	1245U8-	Peter Kavanagh L Morgan	8	71.7kg	8 7/1
—	7	—	Natural Ability (G) Pulled Up PT Just 1-15 over fences but was back on form when second of 7 over 2m at Sedgefield (good to soft) 38 days ago. Good shout if showing up in similar form.	5F/4532-	Danny McMenamin C Grant	8	71.2kg	11 10/1
—	8	—	Sao Carlos (G) Pulled Up Fair winning hurdler for Olly Murphy but little promise for Lizzie Quinlan last season, including pulled up over fences at Newcastle in March. His mark is in freefall but would need to see market sup…	5/P88PP-	Sean Quinlan Lizzie Quinlan	8	69.4kg	41 40/1
1st	9	—	Conquer The Breeze (G) FAV T Can make mistakes but largely consistent for Maurice Barnes last year, including belatedly opening his account in C&D handicap (good to soft) in June. Very interesting on first start for Adam Nicol a…	4P-1141	Ryan Mania A Nicol	7	68kg	2.10 11/10
5th	10	—	Beat The Edge (G) PH Not one for maximum faith (has often promised more than delivered) and he's usually easy to take on for the win. Has refitted cheekpieces combined with a hood for the first time.	46736-5	Alice Stevens Micky Hammond	9	64.4kg	13 12/1
