William Hill Acca Freedom Mares' Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:45 | Winning time: 7m 49.81s

The Delray Munky^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 121| D

5/2

Fairly useful winning hurdler who made it third time lucky over fences when landing a 23.4f Kelso handicap last time. Another personal best needed off this 6 lb higher mark, but that's not impossible.

Form: 0/52-431

Kalahari Queen⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 118| C| D

7/2

Winner of 21.3f mares' novice chase here in February 2019. Best effort since when chasing home a very progressive type over hurdles at Chepstow last month and she remains on an attractive mark.

Form: 14/0P-22

No No Juliet^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 111| D

9/4

Opened chase account at Southwell last term for Oliver Sherwood. Got closer to Kapga De Lily at Hereford last time than she did on return at Chepstow, and should give another good account.

Form: 3132-43

Leverock Lass¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: T Reed| OR: 89| D

11/4

Modest hurdles winner who appears to be getting the hang of things in this sphere judged on latest Hexham (24.2f) effort. If able to build on that, she should pick up a race over fences before long.

Form: 473P-33

Forecasts

No No Juliet (9/4), The Delray Munky (5/2), Leverock Lass (11/4), Kalahari Queen (7/2)

THE DELRAY MUNKY was well on top at the finish when opening her chase account at Kelso and a 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent her from going in again. No No Juliet merits respect, but the selection may have most to fear from Kalahari Queen, who arrives here on the back of a solid effort over hurdles and resumes in this sphere on a potentially handy mark.
