Weatherbys TBA Mares' Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:20 | Winning time: 5m 9.93s

Oscar Rose²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 127| D

9/4

Dual hurdles winner who opened account over fences in good style at Hereford (20.8f) last month, making all. Rider's claim off-sets rise in weights and she's respected again.

Form: 46-6231

Dame du Soir²⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 124

7/2

Bumper/hurdles winner who scored over fences at Hereford (2m) in January. Seemingly had race at her mercy when falling at Ludlow in February but she remains one to be positive about in this sphere.

Form: 6P/213F-

Outofthisworld²⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry| OR: 122| D

6/1

Fairly useful hurdler who is bred to make a chaser and set to surpass debut form in this sphere when falling 2 out at Taunton (21.7f) in January. Possible she will do better still in this sphere.

Form: P9/F43F-

Nightfly^p,t²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 120

8/1

Lightly-raced and generally below par since latest success at Wetherby in November 2018. However, she's below last winning mark and in process of running well when departing at Hereford last month.

Form: 405/6-5F

Jubilympics²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 119| D

5/2

Fairly useful hurdler who capitalised on reduced mark to score over fences at Fakenham (21f) in October, jumping adequately and handling the track well. Big shout again here.

Form: 8263-61

Chasma⁴⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: A W Carroll| OR: 117| D

25/1

Rejuvenated over fences for Dan Skelton last season, performing consistently after winning at Newton Abbot in the summer. Considerate return for new yard over hurdles and expected to be closer to form

Form: 22253-6

Forecasts

Oscar Rose (9/4), Jubilympics (5/2), Dame du Soir (7/2), Outofthisworld (6/1), Nightfly (8/1), Chasma (25/1)

A wide-open mares' event with JUBILYMPICS getting the vote. She handled the contours of Fakenham really well when landing a small-field contest on her chasing debut last month and may well benefit from a number wanting to get on with things early doors. Oscar Rose and Dame du Soir head up the dangers.
