Betway Mares' Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:50 | Winning time: 5m 13.9s

Quantum Of Solace¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 107

5/2

Runner-up in this race last year, and back to winning ways on belated return over hurdles at Fakenham 12 days ago. Must be considered back over fences given her consistent profile.

Form: 22143-1

The Crazed Moon³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: T Scudamore| T: M Scudamore| OR: 105

7/1

Progressive for Henry Oliver last season, winning three on the bounce over hurdles. Failed to cut much ice for Clare Dyson, failing to beat a rival in two chase starts, but may do better for another change of yard.

Form: 15-44P9

Robin Gold³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: William Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 104

4/1

Landed a gamble over hurdles at Thurles in October, and followed up a week later at Clonmel. Not achieved much over fences since, but dangerous to dismiss having left Jonathan Fogarty and joined a shrewd new yard.

Form: 110070

Vue Cavaliere^h⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: M G Nolan| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 102| BF

5/1

Matched her fair hurdles form when third over 2m at Huntingdon in November, and ran to a similar level when filling the same spot in a 2½m handicap chase there later that month. Claims if returning from a 10-week break in similar heart.

Form: 73-3633

Lady Master⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 98| D

9/2

Largely creditable efforts in this sphere since winning at Wetherby last season, and latest third to Weneslaus at Leicester franked by the winner since. Leading claims.

Form: 4232-P3

Glorvina^p1⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Bannister| T: C J Mann| OR: 96

25/1

Not totally disgraced in a trio of handicap hurdles without troubling the judge, but was tailed off on her chase debut at Fakenham, and has plenty to prove with cheekpieces fitted now.

Form: 637/65-5

Fairy Pol⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 91

9/1

Missed last season, and has shown very little in two starts over fences since returning over timber at Warwick in October. Looked reluctant last time, and one to be wary of at present.

Form: 376/897

Bennys Girl^p²⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 10-4| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: D L Williams| OR: 83

16/1

Put a poor Hereford run behind her with a 15L Fakenham win on New Year's Day. Beaten when falling at Lingfield last time, but not ruled out if bouncing back from that.

Form: P-44P1F

Impulsive Leader^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 74

50/1

Out of her depth when tailed off on chase debut at Plumpton, but again showed very little in a handicap at Lingfield last time. No appeal from out of the weights.

Form: 9-0473P

Forecasts

Quantum Of Solace (5/2), Robin Gold (4/1), Lady Master (9/2), Vue Cavaliere (5/1), The Crazed Moon (7/1), Fairy Pol (9/1), Bennys Girl (16/1), Glorvina (25/1), Impulsive Leader (50/1)

LADY MASTER is largely reliable in this sphere, and her latest third to Wenceslaus at Leicester was given a boost when the winner scored again at Plumpton last weekend. The consistent Quantum of Solace was second in this 12 months ago, and is feared most after winning over timber at Fakenham recently, with Robin Gold one to note in the betting on her first start for Dan Skelton.
