Ladbrokes Daily Odds Boosts Chase (Novices' Limited Handicap) (For the Fulke Walwyn Trophy) (GBB Race)

Off time: 12:45 | Winning time: 3m 57.68s

Financier^t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Danny Cook| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 137| D

8/1

Lightly-raced chaser who scored in a maiden at Ludlow last season and upped his form when short-head second to Anemoi in handicap at Chepstow on reappearance. Marginally better off with that rival.

Form: 05/P13-2

Eritage³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 136| D

9/2

Scopey individual who stepped up markedly on hurdling efforts when making chasing debut at Ludlow with plenty in hand. Jumping will prove an asset round here, so he boasts excellent claims.

Form: F5126-1

Anemoi¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: G Sheehan| T: H Whittington| OR: 136| D

7/2

Two from two this year, including a successful start to his chasing career in handicap at Chepstow recently, rallying strongly to get back up from Financier. Solid claims in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 1330/11

Elusive Belle^h¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr Sam Waley-Cohen⁽³⁾| T: N J Henderson| OR: 135| D

13/2

Dual novice hurdle winner who made the frame in trio of competitive handicap hurdles last term and, though disappointing in listed event at Bangor on chasing debut, ought to do better in this sphere.

Form: 01/325-5

Scardura^t⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 134| D

18/1

Hurdle winner who got off the mark over fences at Newton Abbot in September but has been let down by his jumping the last twice.

Form: 3-2U1UF

William H Bonney²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 126| D

20/1

Has shaped as if retaining ability over hurdles on both outings this term but comes to chasing quite late and finds himself in a strong contest.

Form: 07/P3-57

Zoffee³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 132

6/1

Made promising chase debut when second of 4 in novice at Warwick in September and didn't need to improve to open his account at Exeter next time. Opening mark looks fair, so he's worth considering.

Form: 221P-21

Editeur Du Gite²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 125

3/1

Ex-French winning hurdler who left previous chasing efforts well behind when runner-up under a more positive ride in handicap at Ascot last time. Another bold bid expected.

Form: 21/P6-2

Forecasts

Editeur Du Gite (3/1), Anemoi (7/2), Eritage (9/2), Zoffee (6/1), Elusive Belle (13/2), Financier (8/1), Scardura (18/1), William H Bonney (20/1)

ANEMOI maintained his unbeaten record for the season in a handicap at Cheptsow on chasing debut and might well have beaten Financier more convincingly had he not made an error 2 out, so he's taken to uphold the form with that rival and put up a bold bid to land the hat-trick. Eritage is also firmly on the radar after an authoritative success at Ludlow on his first go over fences.
