Live Casino At 188Bet Handicap Chase

Hit form recently, winning a 3m1f handicap chase here (soft) before an 8lb rise proved insurmountable last time when he was an 8L runner-up to General Girling (heavy). Now 8lb better with that opponent and can again go well.

Made the frame in a heavy ground Taunton bumper last year, but form has been in and mostly out since, including both starts over fences, where he has gone off at 11/2fav and 7/2 and been beaten 24L and 36L respectively. Plenty to prove.

Had the measure of Shanann Star two starts ago when winning over C&D but now 8lb worse off, after following up at Towcester (soft) last time. Can't be ruled out from completing hat-trick, though this looks tougher.

1-20 over fences and beaten a long way in both recent starts. 3lb lower than his latest start but very hard to get excited about his chance today.

On the slide in the weights just lately, plummeting 12lb for three well beaten runs, before going close at Exeter last time from today's mark. Extra 2f not certain to suit today but could run a decent race without winning.

Very poor form on the board, although did at least manage to pick up some prize money earlier in the campaign. but no chance of winning this unless something calamitous happens to the remainder.
