Best Mate Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:00 | Winning time: 4m 13.1s

Mick Pastor^h,t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 147| D

2/5

Has racked up hat-trick in small-field chases this term, impressively landing a Newton Abbot handicap latest. His opponent here is pretty classy over hurdles but he should still make it 4 in a row.

Form: F24-111

Sebastopol^p,t¹¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: T Lacey| OR: 142

7/4

Useful hurdler who posted 4 good placed efforts in handicaps at up to 25f in May/June. Down in trip for chase bow but he did win over 2m earlier in career. Point winner so likely he'll take to fences.

Form: 82-2222

Forecasts

Mick Pastor (2/5), Sebastopol (7/4)

MICK PASTOR has really got his act together over fences this term and can put his experience to his good use and see off useful hurdler Sebastopol.
