Racing UK Members Beginners' Chase

Off time: 15:20 | Winning time: 5m 12.3s

Prime Venture¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 137

7/2

137-rated hurdler who is versatile in terms of both trip and ground, despite having won over 3m on Ffos Las soft ground; 0-2 over fences so far, but seemingly with no actual worries in the jumping stakes.

Form: 086-067

Psychedelic Rock^p⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: T J O'Brien| T: Ian Williams| OR: 137| BF| D

7/2

137-rated hurdler who is a three-time Worcester winner (2m-2m4f); good ground is vital, so with conditions still riding on the quick side, there's nothing to lose by having a spin over fences (debut).

Form: 26-2414

Thomas Campbell^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 149

4/7

Progressive in the early part of last season, winning back-to-back races at Cheltenham (including at Listed level); struggled in graded contests thereafter; meets nothing like the calibre of La Bague Au Roi today on his second start over fences.

Form: 1560P-4

Goodgirlteresa¹²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: M G Nolan| T: K Woollacott

66/1

13-race rules maiden; makes her chasing debut (1-4 in PTP's) on massively unfavourable terms, so barring accidents amongst the principals is surely booked for fourth place (granted a clear round herself).

Form: 63-7487

Forecasts

Thomas Campbell (4/7), Psychedelic Rock (7/2), Prime Venture (7/2), Goodgirlteresa (66/1)

Quite simply THOMAS CAMPBELL was a cut above these rivals over hurdles and he ran well enough (fenced adequately) when finishing 8L fourth to La Bague Au Roi on his chasing debut at Newbury (2m6f) earlier this month. Granted a clear round of fencing, he's expected to cope with this slight drop back in trip and comfortably get off the mark for the new season.
