Yorkshire Building Services Novices' Chase

Off time: 13:10 | Winning time: 4m 47.07s

Pacific De Baune²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson| OR: 139

11/10

Jumped well in the main when making a winning chasing debut at Warwick last month. Well regarded and hard to beat if in the same mood despite conceding weight to his two rivals.

Form: 2/1712-1

Barton Knoll²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: J Mackie| OR: 122| BF

25/1

Winning hurdler who was a little disapppointing when only fourth of six on his chasing bow at Catterick. Looks a chaser and can surely do better, but has to prove it.

Form: 5U-2244

Gowiththeflow²⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: B J Geraghty| T: B Pauling| OR: 135| C

4/5

Winning pointer and hurdler who was last seen finishing eighth of 14 to Samcro in the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Looks an interesting recruit to fences and is respected.

Form: 12218-

Forecasts

Gowiththeflow (4/5), Pacific De Baune (11/10), Barton Knoll (25/1)

Barton Knoll should improve on his chasing debut display and Gowiththeflow is interesting as he tackles fences for the first time, but both will do well to match strides with PACIFIC DE BEAUNE, who looked a natural at this discipline when scoring at Warwick and is well regarded by a top trainer with plenty of talented novice chasers in his stable.
