European Breeders' Fund/Thoroughbred Breeders Association Mares' Chase (Novices' Limited Handicap)

Off time: 14:51 | Winning time: 5m 33.4s

Golden Vision^t³⁶⁸

3/1

A dual winner over hurdles (once for this stable on debut) she was undone by a double penalty when last seen but not disgraced. Has an absence to overcome but returns for a powerful yard and goes well fresh; appeals as a chaser.

Form: 3/21213-

On Demand^t⁷⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 124

5/1

Fairly useful over hurdles (usually goes from the front) she's now been tried over fences on two occasions and been found wanting each time. Now tries handicaps over fences for the first time off a mark that is still above her last winning one.

Form: 315734

Sister Sibyl⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: T J O'Brien| T: H Morrison| OR: 115| BF

5/4

Yet to score over fences but her form has been useful and she remains capable of better. Needs to bounce back from a fall last time out (yet to be asked for an effort) and should be able to get involved off a mark like this.

Form: 210-34F

Timeforwest⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Killian Moore⁽³⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 115

7/2

Yet to really hit the heights of what she initially promised over fences and looked struggle on deep ground last time out at Uttoxeter although shaped better than her final position. 10lb lower than her first handicap mark over fences.

Form: 6-65B86

Forecasts

Sister Sibyl (5/4), Golden Vision (3/1), Timeforwest (7/2), Midnight Target (7/2), On Demand (5/1), Marienstar (11/2)

This is a competitive little heat with Golden Vision looking to be a fascinating runner for a top stable returning over fences after wind surgery. Marienstar isn’t sure to take part after her unimpressive run at Hereford on Saturday and SISTER SIBYL looks the one who can take advantage of this opportunity having shown promise in her previous chase efforts. On Demand hasn’t so far impressed over fences bit could be suited by a return to front running while Timeforwest appears to need better ground to operate on.
