Royal Equestrian Bedding Mares' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:22 | Winning time: 6m 28.74s

Kapga De Lily²²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-8| J: Miss Lucy Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 130| CD

2/1

Likeable 8-y-o who boasts an excellent strike rate over fences (won this race 12 months ago) and arrives here having scored gamely on return at Ascot (23.8f) last month. Claims despite inflated mark.

Form: 11312-1

No No Juliet^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 107

12/1

Off the mark for this yard at Huntingdon (23.6f) in February and whilst below best both starts since, she's much better off at the weights with Kapga De Lily for her 4.5 length defeat here last year.

Form: 43P13-6

Lilith^b1,t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 107

8/1

Low-mileage mare who stepped up on chase debut effort when second at Lingfield (2½m) in November, albeit making hard work of things. Not in same form back there 16 days ago, though. Blinkers enlisted.

Form: 3U3-525

Osca Loca^t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 102

14/1

Record is distinctly patchy but her third place finish at Chepstow (23.6f) last month on the back of 5 months was a definite step back in the right direction. She's on a handy mark if building on that

Form: 1/6P8-P3

The Toojumpa²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien| OR: 98| BF

3/1

Heavily backed to make winning yard debut at Worcester (23f) in October. Still to be asked for maximum effort when unseating 3 out at Chepstow since and she remains one to be interested in.

Form: 34UP-1U

Roseisaroseisarose^t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price| OR: 98

15/2

Maiden who hasn't been disgraced in hitting the frame on 3 of her 4 starts over hurdles/fences since the autumn. Mark has eased and this greater test of stamina may help on balance.

Form: 33-2423

Leverock Lass²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Reed| T: T Reed| OR: 93

13/2

Gained breakthrough chase success at Wetherby (3m) 12 months ago. Lightly raced since but matched that form when second at Chepstow (23.6f) recently (Osca Loca third). Each-way claims again.

Form: 31525-2

Kiera Royale^h,t¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: D A Rees| OR: 86| BF

20/1

Dual winner over fences this year, latterly at Worcester (20f) in July. Found just one too good in a Taunton handicap chase (21.7f) 16 days ago but this rates a much tougher from out of the weights.

Form: 216542

Forecasts

Kapga De Lily (2/1), The Toojumpa (3/1), Leverock Lass (13/2), Roseisaroseisarose (15/2), Lilith (8/1), No No Juliet (12/1), Osca Loca (14/1), Kiera Royale (20/1)

A winner on yard debut at Worcester in October, THE TOOJUMPA looked set to go close again when unseating 3 out at Chepstow 3 weeks ago and she's worth siding with to prove herself still on a handy mark. Prolific scorer and last year's winner Kapga de Lily looked better than ever on return at Ascot and is feared most, ahead of Leverock Lass.
