Betway Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:01 | Winning time: 5m 24.3s

Kakamora^t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 127| D

15/8

Winning pointer who ended last term on the up over hurdles and he made a promising start in this sphere (had wind op/tongue tied) when patiently-ridden third in 20f Wincanton handicap. More to come.

Form: 62211-3

O Connell Street^p,t³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Callum Bewley| T: K Frost| OR: 124| D

11/1

Fairly useful ex-Irish chaser for Gordon Elliott who won at Perth in September and was caught only late under aggressive ride when third at Fairyhouse (21f) 37 days ago. Not ruled out for new yard.

Form: 121553

Mackenberg⁴⁴

11/4

Fairly useful novice hurdle winner who shaped well when third on his Wetherby return. Dropped away tamely at Haydock since but subsequently had a wind op and retains potential now chasing.

Form: 1421-37

Broadway Joe¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Henry Brooke| T: N W Alexander| OR: 118| CD

13/8

Is improving in leaps and bounds, and he maintained his unbeaten record over fences in impressive fashion over C&D a fortnight ago. Hiked up another 10 lb but still looks weighted to go in again.

Form: 153-111

Forecasts

Broadway Joe (13/8), Kakamora (15/8), Mackenberg (11/4), O Connell Street (11/1)

A case can be made for all of the quartet, but BROADWAY JOE arrives firmly on the up and with an excellent record round here too so is fancied to make it 4-4 in this sphere. Kakamora made a pleasing start over fences when third at Wincanton and should make his presence felt with chasing debutant Mackenberg and ex-Irish scorer O Connell Street much respected too in an intriguing handicap.
