Betfred 'Supports Jack Berry House' Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:30 | Winning time: 7m 33.82s

Heresmynumber^p,t⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: A Stronge| OR: 97

4/1

Winner of a weak race at Fakenham on his penultimate start he failed to jump as well last time over the same C&D and paid the price by only managing to finish second. Will need to jump more fluently here to take a hand off the same mark.

Form: F-03312

Red Danaher²³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: K Yeoman⁽⁷⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 90| C

5/4

Record over fences reads an uninspiring 0/10 although he has won twice this year over hurdles a sphere that appears to suit him better. Given another try over fences now off a much lower mark but not the most straightforward and hard to trust.

Form: 517412

Bobonyx²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁷⁾| T: D L Williams| OR: 79

10/1

Still a maiden after 27 tries under Rules (0/13 over fences) and has on occasions run some credible races but does look woefully one paced. His last two starts have been poor though and he was well beaten in gruelling conditions last time.

Form: 522283

Major Ridge⁷⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 78

3/1

Produced a career-best effort to win at Catterick early last year off this same mark but his form figures consist of more letters than numbers since. Tailed off last time in the race he won last year and best watched for now.

Form: FPPU-96

Nelly La Rue^p²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-1| J: Thomas Dowson⁽³⁾| T: V Thompson| OR: 72

7/1

Took a while to strike under Rules but finally got his account opened when taking a lowly handicap last time out. Not disgraced last time in a far better race under a penalty and features off an easier mark now.

Form: U62313

Forecasts

Red Danaher (5/4), Major Ridge (3/1), Heresmynumber (4/1), Nelly La Rue (7/1), Bobonyx (10/1)

Not a race to get too excited about with some less than straightforward types on show and NELLY LA RUE is a tentative selection to continue in her good run of form. Bobonyx had a very hard race last time and that could have left its mark and Heresmynumber and Red Danaher are taken to battle things out behind the selection.
