TBA/EBF Mares' Beginners' Chase

Off time: 13:50 | Winning time: 5m 53.47s

Dinos Benefit²⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: C L Tizzard

7/1

Won a maiden hurdle in March and no surprise connections wasting little time over hurdles, pedigree screaming fences (half sister to a point winner, dam half-sister to an Aintree Foxhunters winner) and if jumping fluently here, has every chance.

Graceful Legend^p²⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: D A Jacob| T: B I Case| D

6/4

Has a bit of class about her, responded well to cheekpieces last year to score at Aintree and this trip ideal for chasing debut today. Not seen out since March and although she holds a class advantage here, it may not be as easy a task as it looks.

Lillian⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Kevin Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins| C

14/1

Game mare that tries hard, stays further than this and might find this a sharp enough test on chase debut. Bit below par last couple of starts and unless the rain comes to help her cause, others make a little more appeal here.

Molly Childers^t1²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 130

1/1

Useful over hurdles and has made a decent start to chasing career, second to an improver at Bangor on debut last time, well clear of rest. Has the scope for fences and if repeating that debut chase effort here, looks the one to beat.

Forecasts

Molly Childers (1/1), Graceful Legend (6/4), Jet Set (11/4), Dinos Benefit (7/1), Molly Carew (12/1), Lillian (14/1)

On the figures, Graceful Legend is the one to beat here but this may not be as easy a task as it looks on paper, and DINOS BENEFIT, who will really appreciate the switch to fences, is taken to upset the applecart. She will improve plenty as the season goes on but could make a winning debut here. Molly Childers is a another that looks a winner in waiting over fences and will be a big danger after a good first try at Bangor. Jet Set too might be able to get in the shake up, and this is a competitive race for the money.
