Bloomfields Horse Boxes Novices' Chase

Off time: 14:51 | Winning time: 6m 23.5s

Beat That²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 140| D

2/7

Smart Grade-One winning hurdler who's first stint over fences was curtailed after a series of jumping errors. Returned to this sphere with a facile success three weeks ago and should be much too strong for these rivals if jumping well again.

Form: FF330-1

Jacks Last Hope^v⁵⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: C Grant| OR: 139| CD

4/1

Consistent performer who ran a rare bad race at Worcester last time. Has a bit to find in terms of ability with Beat That but is the most likely of these to chase him home.

Form: 127-123

King Golan^p³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Finian O'Toole⁽³⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 70

250/1

Still a maiden after 17 starts under all codes and is out of his depth in this contest. Wooden spoon awaits baring mishaps.

Form: 3-45735

Special Prep^t³³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: Miss P Robson| OR: 122| CD

10/1

Off the mark over hurdles when last seen here back in October. Makes chasing debut off a long layoff and will find this tough going.

Form: 134341-

Forecasts

Beat That (2/7), Jacks Last Hope (4/1), Special Prep (10/1), King Golan (250/1)

Provided his jumping holds up this should be a very straight forward task for BEAT THAT who has a big class edge over his rivals. Jacks Last Hope is likely to chase him home.
