EBF Star Sports 10K Showtime Guarantee Mares' Beginners' Chase

Off time: 13:25 | Winning time: 5m 6.04s

Danse Idol²⁸¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 125| BF| C

6/4

Fairly useful hurdler. Respectable placed efforts on her final 2 starts last season. Returns with her yard in flying form so bold show likely if now going chasing.

Form: 221/733-

Deja Vue²⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 132

11/10

Dual hurdle winner in mud at Ffos Las last winter. Ended season with a disappointing run in Grade 2 company at Warwick but returns with her stable going well. Point winner so should take to fences.

Form: 21153P-

Florella²⁴⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: Cynthia Woods

200/1

Multiple point winner but well-held fourth of 5 in course hunter in May 2018 on sole previous Rules start. Surely up against it here.

Form: 122/97P-

Midnightreferendum²⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 122| CD

5/1

Fairly useful hurdler who ran creditably in handicap company on her final 2 starts last season. Now switches to fences after 8 months off.

Form: 441/935-

Forecasts

Deja Vue (11/10), Danse Idol (6/4), Midnightreferendum (5/1), Florella (200/1)

DEJA VUE was just about the best of these over hurdles and the fact she won her sole start in points suggests she should prove fully effective over fences so she's narrowly preferred to Danse Idol and Midnightreferendum.
