Rowles Fine Art Novices' Chase

Off time: 14:36 | Winning time: 6m 10.15s

Gayebury¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| D

8/11

Makes his chasing debut having shown some useful form over hurdles with his best performance coming when winning a Listed novice at Perth in April. Looks high in the weights over hurdles now and form of late below-par but could revive in this sphere.

Form: 2101-P0

Resolution Bay²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 132| BF

6/4

Has shown himself to be useful over hurdles and looked to show better form on his chasing debut although didn't really build on his debut effort last time. Raced off the pace (jumped poorly) and gave himself too much to do; needs to show more here.

Form: 1-52322

Western Climate²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: C Poste| T: T H Weston| OR: 125

8/1

Dual winner in point-to-points who has won over hurdles but has proved inconsistent of late. Now makes his debut under Rules over fences and looks to have a tough task on what he's shown so far over hurdles.

Form: P5P3/3P

Forecasts

Gayebury (8/11), Resolution Bay (6/4), Mr Mix (2/1), Western Climate (8/1)

MR MIX faces a couple of decent rivals as he bids to bounce back from a disappointing effort last time out in admittedly tougher company. His previous form gives him a good chance here and he’s expected to get back to winning ways. Resolution Bay will need to show more fluency and élan over his fences this time around while Gayebury will need to be back to his best on his chasing debut.
