Shown signs of temperament in the past but a useful horse on his day. Well beaten when fifth under today's rider at Ludlow over 3m last time out but chances in a small field upped to this trip for the first time here.
Winner over an extended 3m1 on soft ground at Ludlow in December 2015 and put a poor run here behind him when finishing fourth at Newbury over 3m2f last weekend. Makes a quick re-appearance here and likely to run well once more.
Winner on soft ground over 2m7f here in February but disappointed twice since including when pulled up at Ffos Las last time out and remains on a mark 5lb higher than for that February success.
Winner four times in the past including when successful by 11L at Exeter last nine days ago. Turns out under a penalty here and likely to prove hard to beat receiving weight from all his rivals in this.
Forecasts
Bertie Boru (13/8), Port Melon (11/4), Tinker Time (10/3), Abracadabra Sivola (9/2)
BERTIE BORU can follow up his most recent success at Exeter last week by claiming this small field handicap chase. The selection stays this trip well and can get the better of Tinker Time who is making a quick return to the track having run well at Newbury last weekend.. Port Melon and his amateur rider are taken to see of Abracadabra Sivola in the race for third.
- Bertie Boru
- Tinker Time
- Port Melon
