Daily Racing Specials At 188Bet Mares' Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:22 | Winning time: 5m 21.7s

Chasma^t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-4| J: Harry Bannister| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 106| D

9/2

Held off this mark in her latest start but had previously been in cracking form, so cannot be discounted in this easier looking contest. Trip and ground not expected to be a problem but does have to give weight away all round.

Form: 4U21-10

Stoical Patient^v⁵⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 100

9/2

Winner of three modest races before falling last time out. Can take the odd liberty at her fences but this isn't the strongest of events, so feasible she can platy another strong part if her jumping holds together.

Form: P01-11F

Flemerina²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny Cook| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 95| C

11/8

Won over hurdles here (2m7f) and made a pleasing enough start to her chasing career last time at Sedgefield. From a yard which does well at this course, so well worth a betting check at least.

Form: 1-44833

Appletree Lane⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: James Davies| T: T R Gretton| OR: 91

4/1

A maiden over hurdles but showed promise first time over fences latest. Very possible she's got more to offer and dangerous to ignore over a trip that suits ideally.

Form: P/523-43

Easter In Paris²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: P J Brennan| T: P Henderson| OR: 90

7/1

Has won over fences but recent form has been a mixed bag. Now has something to prove after being pulled up a Ludlow on her most recent outing.

Form: 512-02P

Forecasts

Flemerina (11/8), Appletree Lane (4/1), Stoical Patient (9/2), Chasma (9/2), Easter In Paris (7/1)

A chance is taken that FLEMERINA can flourish under the tutelage of Sue Smith, who has an enviable record at this course. The mare took to fences well on her chasing debut last month and can be expected to take this return to Market Rasen in her stride. Chasma and Stoical Patient are a little more exposed but make the most appeal as dangers among the pack.
