MansionBet's Bet 10 Get 20 Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:31 | Winning time: 5m 46.20s

Sevarano²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Brendan Powell| T: O Sherwood| OR: 148| C

4/1

Has made great start over fences this season, readily landing handicaps at Sandown and Exeter (19.2f). Up 9 lb but sort to go on improving so holds solid claims of claiming a hat-trick.

Form: 1422-11

Young Wolf⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 142| BF

16/1

Likeable young staying chaser who resumed winning ways in 25.4f Warwick handicap before second of 4 in novice at Fakenham when undone by jumping errors. Not ruled out lightly.

Form: 31-1212

Dickie Diver⁶⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Aidan Coleman| T: N J Henderson| OR: 141

10/3

Winning pointer who quickly made into useful novice hurdler when last seen out 21 months ago. Goes chasing on comeback and not ruled out despite long absence. Worth a market check.

Form: 1214/

Demachine^t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 140| D

9/4

Promise over hurdles last term and has taken very well to fences, bagging handicaps at Uttoxeter (22.5f) and Ascot (3m) in the manner of a chaser going places. Big player despite 8 lb rise.

Form: 7332-11

Earth Moor²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 140| D

9/1

Useful winning hurdler who opened his account over fences in good style in 21f Fontwell handicap three weeks ago. Hit with 8 lb rise but has more to offer so well in the mix.

Form: 1201-51

Paint The Dream^t⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 137

16/1

Yet to win over fences but he arrives in decent form, third of 4 in novice chase at Cheltenham (20.2f) 46 days ago. Needs more here though.

Form: 250-223

Rockpoint³⁸²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Harry Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 132

16/1

Unreliable type who refused to race in novice chase at Cheltenham when last seen out 12 months ago. Easily opposed.

Form: 607/42R-

Equus Dancer³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 131

8/1

Dual bumper winner who got his career back on track when making a winning chase bow at Sedgefield (19.3f) on his return. Followed up in a similar event there since and further improvement possible.

Form: 348P-11

Forecasts

Demachine (9/4), Dickie Diver (10/3), Sevarano (4/1), Equus Dancer (8/1), Earth Moor (9/1), Paint The Dream (16/1), Young Wolf (16/1), Rockpoint (16/1)

DEMACHINE is a young chaser going places so is taken to defy a 8 lb rise and complete a hat-trick after his emphatic Ascot success. Sevarano also has better days ahead of him so will ensure Kerry Lee's improver doesn't have things all his own way, while Earth Moor needs considering too in a cracking handicap.
