Breeders' Cup On Sky Sports Racing Novices' Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:40 | Winning time: 6m 30.16s

Young Wolf²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 142| D

1/1

Improving young staying chaser who resumed winning ways in 25.4f Warwick handicap 3 weeks ago, pressing on for home early but digging deep. More to come from him and this looks a good opportunity.

Form: 131-121

Canyon City²³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King| OR: 138| C

6/1

Useful hurdler (successful on last 2 visits to Fakenham). Makes a rather belated debut over fences after 7 months off and his record fresh isn't too inspiring.

Form: 1466P3-

Skandiburg²¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 138| C| DWS

7/4

Course bumper/hurdle winner who was much improved in handicaps last season, winning at Aintree and Cheltenham over 3m. Poor run in the Pertemps final start but a good chasing prospect. Had wind op.

Form: 81/2110-

Wolf Of Windlesham²³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 133

11/1

Useful hurdler at his best but lightly raced since 2016, offering a bit in jumpers' bumper after 22 months off before the shutdown. Stamina to prove on chase bow and looks best watched.

Form: 5F92B/6-

Forecasts

Young Wolf (1/1), Skandiburg (7/4), Canyon City (6/1), Wolf Of Windlesham (11/1)

YOUNG WOLF is an improving staying chaser to keep onside and can defy a 10 lb penalty to make it 3 wins from 4 starts over fences this season. Useful-hurdler Skandiburg looks a good prospect for chases himself and could be set for a big run at the first time of asking if ready to roll.
