HID Race of the Day Preview

Timeform run the rule over the field for the Anna Busbridge Memorial Handicap Chase (3) at Folkestone.

Mr Big will be more at home back over regulation fences and he can return to winning ways at the main expense of the improving Ballygulleen and the sketchy jumper Enroblim Trop.

Nagam has been successful three times over fences, including at Kempton on his return. He is not one to rely on though and looked typically unenthusiastic at Sandown last time.

Mr Big was an improved chaser last season, winning three handicaps. He didn't get home over three miles and seven furlongs at Cheltenham last time and this trip is more suitable. He is a leading contender for a stable amongst the winners.

Captain Aubrey has achieved all of his three wins at Towcester, including on his only start last season, but he does have form elsewhere. His fitness has to be taken on trust after another year off, but he may be capable of better still.

Enroblim Trop improved for a switch to fences last season, with his best effort coming when second to Russian Trigger in the Kent National. He made an encouraging reappearance earlier in the month, but his jumping can be his Achilles heel.

Ballygulleen left all his previous form behind when scoring over twenty one furlongs at Towcester last month and bettered that on his chasing debut, running out a ready winner at Wincanton. He can do better still and is an interesting contender.

Helm was a back-to-back winner over hurdles a couple of seasons ago and offered slightly more encouragement on his chasing debut last time (flattered). Others look more convincing, though.

This looks a good opportunity for Vertigo On Course, a fast-finishing third at Southwell last week. Young Dottie's success last month is working out well and she also makes appeal, while each-way players could do worse than side with Toolentidhaar....

Despite being the senior citizen of the party, Mister Nous retains plenty of ability, and having won five times in France appears ready to open his British account. The Rainbow Hunter could be more deadly now switched to handicaps and looks a big threat to the selection, with Strategic Plan rated third best....

Jim Tango is open to improvement over fences, and this looks to be Miss Pross' easiest task for some time, but the likeable Bamby gets the nod with conditions to suit back over fences....

Timeform Daily: Thursday, Southwell, 15:20

The two handicap debutants could be the ones to focus on here, with Ambrogina favoured more than Seamster. Knightfire will have to settle for a place again....
