Raceday preview from Weatherbys
The second race on today’s card is the first Weatherbys-sponsored contest of the seasontousetheJumpersToFollowhandle andwiththe17theditionsettobepublished onMonday,itisgoodtoseeacompetitive, seven-strongfieldassemble.
The weights are headed by Vinnie The Hoddie for this 0-110 novices’ handicap chase and Gail Haywood’s seven-year-old has been dropped another 3lbs, following a lengthy defeat at Bangor-on-Dee last month. Going back up in trip should help, but the nine-year-old doesn’t look the sameforceaswhenreachingamarkof130, somethreeyearsago.
Peter Bowen has enjoyed a good summer andIronHeart–ownedbyonesonMickey and ridden by another, Sean – makes his debut for the stable this afternoon. This is also his first start over fences, having won a selling hurdle in game fashion for David Pipe, on his last start under National Hunt rules.
Mix Of Clover and Glajou are the two course winners in the line-up and the former is very much of interest, following an encouraging return to fences at Stratford recently. Quicker ground and the longer trip should suit, plus he remains relatively unexposed as a chaser, having had just the six starts over fences.
CollegeOakhails from the in-form yard of JamieSnowden,withtheLambournhandler having saddled four winners from his last six runners, including a double at Stratford on Saturday. He was already beaten when hampered two out at this track on 1st August, but that was a hurdle race and his firststartin344days,sotherunmightwell havebeenneeded.
The eight-year-old is 0-3 over fences, but isfully18lbslowerthanwhenfirstrunningin achase(October2021)andhewasagood groundwinner–offa6lbshighermarkthan today’sofficialratingof100–overhurdlesat Stratfordlastsummer.Giventheformofhis stable, he should not be underestimated, with that recent run likely to have brought himforward.
Bari Breeze and Shot Tower complete the septet, with the former representing Milton Harris and Harry Cobden. The Wiltshirebased trainer has provided the jockey with seven of his 38 winners so far this season and this son of Shirocco is another who boastsachasingrecordof0-3.
Tactically versatile, it will be interesting to see how he is ridden this afternoon – with this being the first time that Cobden has riddenhim–whilsthisjumpingwillneedto improve.
JoePonting’sShotTowerisanothermaiden over fences, but split a couple of useful performers at Newton Abbot earlier in the month,whenflashinghomedespiteracing fromalongwayoutofthehandicap.
Formerly trained by Paul Nicholls, Glajou shouldappreciatethisslightlysharpertest. He won over 2m½f at this track last August – on what was just his third start for Neil Mulholland–andisanotherwholikesgood ground.
If that form were taken literally, he would have a huge chance here, but his earlier form was much below that level, so it remains to be seen as to whether he can reproduceit.

MIX OF CLOVER responded well to this headgear when a close third at Stratford on his return to fences recently and gets the vote off the same mark with all his rivals arriving with something to prove. Shot Tower might have been flattered from well out of the handicap when second of 3 at Newton Abbot but still rates the main threat now racing off his correct mark.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: KARAVOMYLOS trained by P Bowen, Haverfordwest, 176 miles.
KARAVOMYLOS has had the form of last month’s C&D win franked and a 4lb rise may not prevent him going in again. Nickelsonthedime is another who arrives at the very top of his game and is second choice ahead of the reappearing Chives.
