Betfred 'Treble Odds On Lucky 15's' Chase (Novices' Limited Handicap)

Off time: 15:44 | Winning time: 5m 35.10s

Allysson Monterg^t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: J J Burke| T: R Hobson| OR: 139| D

9/4

Biting off more than he could chew when trying the Grade 1 RSA last time out but eats mud pies for breakfast and looked a chaser to follow when scoring at Exeter the time before. Trip suits and must be a player here.

Form: 216/7-1P

Town Parks⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: J E Moore| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 134| CD

4/1

Twice a winner over fences this season but a fall and an unseat also highlight he's not always foot perfect at his fences. C&D winner in heavy in December so has that going for him but may find others progressing past him here.

Form: 44U11F

War Sound⁴⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 131| BF

7/4

Highly tried at times but in truth has been a bit of a slow learner over fences, bit flattered to get close at Wincanton last time (winner idled) but a better effort nevertheless. Trip a slight concern here but should have his chances.

Form: 322342

Ballyarthur^t⁶⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Jamie Bargary⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 126| BF| D

4/1

Made for chasing but very disappointing at times this year, notably when stuck in the mud at Leicester last time (long odds-on), Jury is now out as to whether he's putting it all in, and on balance, not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 22-3P23

Forecasts

War Sound (7/4), Allysson Monterg (9/4), Ballyarthur (4/1), Town Parks (4/1)

ALYSSON MONTERG has always been well thought of by his trainer, as demonstrated by the fact he was prepared to throw him in at the deep end at the Cheltenham Festival, and he can get back to wining again here. He simply can't have the ground deep enough and that means he's preferred to War Sound, who is getting the hang of things but will need to be foot perfect here. With Ballyarthur becoming disappointing, Town Parks may be the one for the trifecta.
