Racing Partnership Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:55 | Winning time: 5m 16.2s

Go Long^p³²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-3| J: S Bowen| T: Evan Williams| OR: 125

15/8

Fairly useful chaser who was seen to good effect when making all at Fontwell on return in November. Back to form at Sandown last time but unproven over this far.

Form: 682-152

Sir Sholokhov^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: D A Jacob| T: H Whittington| OR: 123

4/6

Winning Irish pointer who, after a couple of goes over hurdles, improved markedly when landing a handicap at Sedgefield at the first attempt over fences. Should be able to follow up over longer trip.

Form: 1-341

Ballyhill^v1³⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 122| D

13/2

Useful when on-song, particularly over fences, and shaped well until his stamina gave way at Doncaster (3m) last time. Not discounted with visor on back in trip.

Form: P-50644

Forecasts

Sir Sholokhov (4/6), Go Long (15/8), Ballyhill (13/2)

SIR SHOLOKHOV looked streets ahead of his mark when making a winning transition to chasing at Sedgefield last time, so he's a straightforward selection in his follow-up bid back up in distance. Ballyhill might pose the bigger threat of the remaining pair.
