Hartnoll Hotel Beginners' Chase

Off time: 15:02 | Winning time: 4m 24.12s

Maratt⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Kevin Jones⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 82

66/1

82 rated hurdler whose third at Plumpton in October was best effort in that sphere. Will need to show huge improvement to play a part on chase debut.

Form: 8P4304

Notre Ami¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: N J Gifford| OR: 115

8/1

Hasn't shown enough on three runs over fences to be of interest and will do better in handicaps in due course.

Form: 10-F233

The Last Day³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: Evan Williams| OR: 128

7/4

Developed in to fair hurdler last term and would have finished a creditable second behind an impressive winner at Newbury on chasing debut last month but for falling at the last. Had jumped well up to that point and will do well at this game.

Form: 9/1341-F

White Moon^t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 143| C

4/6

Unlucky to fall on chasing debut when in the process of going close. Bit disappointing here last month in a strong race but while this represents a drop in class, the drop in trip is a slight concern.

Form: 1117-F5

Legend Lady⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: James Best| T: Miss J Du Plessis| OR: 107| D

20/1

Doesn't take much racing and form has dropped off of late including on stable debut. Now switched to fences but they will need to bring about huge improvement.

Form: 412/55-P

Forecasts

White Moon (4/6), The Last Day (7/4), Notre Ami (8/1), Legend Lady (20/1), Maratt (66/1)

Not many can be fancied here and with the drop in trip not sure to suit White Moon, it might pay to side with THE LAST DAY who ran well for a long time on chase debut. Notre Ami is the only other one to be of interest.
