Watch On Racing TV Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 15:16 | Winning time: 4m 5.50s

Siannes Star²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: R T Dunne| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 119| D

12/1

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser. Too free back over fences at Huntingdon after 12 weeks off and could do better here having dropped in the weights.

Form: 333784-

Hazzaar^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| OR: 117| D

7/4

Bumper winner who ran well second time up over fences at Exeter (19.2f) after a wind op 4 weeks ago, splitting a thriving winner and Shiroccan Roll. Needs to jump better.

Form: 9/54522-

Fil D'ariane^t⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 117| D

9/2

Fairly useful winning hurdler. Drop back to 2m will suit on first go over fences but he'll need to improve to figure.

Form: 43/1467-

Statuario^t¹⁷⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 116| D

4/1

Fair winning hurdler who didn't progress from a promising start over fences last year. Handicapper has helped out though and he returns with yard in form. Tongue tie re-fitted. Interesting.

Form: 4/725F6-

Touchthesoul^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 112

7/2

Dual winner on the Flat in France and has achieved a fair level of form over hurdles, runner-up at Plumpton (2m) the last twice. Wouldn't dismiss now handicapping over fences.

Form: 42/6322-

Falcon Sun^t³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 104| D

12/1

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser at his best. Good second in 2m Taunton handicap chase in November but poor since, folding tamely and said to have bled at Sedgefield 6 weeks ago. Risky.

Forecasts

Hazzaar (7/4), Presentandcounting (9/4), Touchthesoul (7/2), Statuario (4/1), Fil D'ariane (9/2), Shiroccan Roll (5/1), Siannes Star (12/1), Falcon Sun (12/1), Takbeer (66/1)

It could be worth chancing STATUARIO in a tricky contest. The handicapper has given him a chance ahead of his first run in 6 months and he has shown ability in this sphere, while the tongue tie he wore when successful over hurdles is back on. Shiroccan Roll and Hazzaar both ran well at Exeter and have claims, while Presentandcounting could improve for the switch to fences.
