Star Sports Bet Owners Club Guarantee Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:05 | Winning time: 6m 20.28s

Len Brennan¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-4| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 112

16/5

Winning hurdler who, on the back of 4 months off again ran creitably when fourth in amateurs' handicap chase at Cheltenham (25f) in October. Potentially well handicapped if building on that here.

Form: 3134/24

Le Tueur²⁷⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: R T Dunne| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 106| BF| CD

3/1

Point winner who opened hurdles account on handicap debut over C&D last November. Made the frame on each of his next 3 starts and he rates the type to make his mark over fences this term. Considered.

Form: 671422-

Ranieri²²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 106| D

11/1

Fair form without victory over hurdles last season but he's a winning pointer and could do better over fences. Worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 1/30550-

Mouseinthehouse²¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 106| C

10/1

Dual 2m chase winner around here, latterly 13 months ago. Similar form on 3 of his 4 starts thereafter, staying on gradually for third at Chepstow (19.5f) in April. Longer trip worth exploring.

Form: 132743-

Calicojack^t¹⁹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr Mark Robinson⁽⁷⁾| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 102

80/1

Fairly useful hurdles winner who was essentially held back by his jumping over fences in Ireland last season. Acquired for just £1,500 in May but yard may hold stronger claims with Le Tueur.

Form: P/90600-

Summit Like Herbie³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 102| D

8/1

Ended 2019/20 with Doncaster victory. Some respectable placed efforts last term but some way below best in a couple of starts this year, jumping ponderously when distant third at Uttoxeter last month.

Form: 4254-P3

Gats And Co^t¹⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: C Brace| T: D Brace| OR: 100| BF| D

11/1

Little show over hurdles but dual point winner who also showed some promise when third of 6 in hunter chase at Stratford (22.6f) on his debut over fences in May. Possible he will have more to offer.

Form: PP12-13

Tudors Treasure¹⁶⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: C Gethings| T: R Stephens| OR: 100| CD

22/1

Capitalised on a reduced mark to land C&D event in May. Too bad to be true when pulled up at Bangor later that month but bounce back not ruled out returning from a break.

Form: P37-61P

Powerful Position^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 83| D

10/3

Showed only modest form over hurdles but he's a point winner and best not judged on pair of chase exploits this autumn, unsuited by drop to 2m here latest. Worth noting if market vibes are positive.

Form: 0770-06

Forecasts

Le Tueur (3/1), Len Brennan (16/5), Powerful Position (10/3), Summit Like Herbie (8/1), Mouseinthehouse (10/1), Gats And Co (11/1), Ranieri (11/1), Tudors Treasure (22/1), Calicojack (80/1)

A winner in points, LE TUEUR did well over hurdles last term, winning on handicap debut in November and finishing runner-up on his last 2 starts including over C&D. The type to make his mark over fences, he gets the narrow vote to come out on top. It's unlikely we've seen the best of Powerful Position yet and he's worth a look at the foot of the weights. Len Brennan completes the shortlist.
