Urban Logistics REIT Mares' Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:01 | Winning time: 6m 10.13s

Hunny Moon⁹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 121| D

85/40

Created a good impression when landing 3m handicap at Market Rasen in November on only her second run over fences. Has more to offer, so she merits serious consideration despite 3 lb rise.

Form: 2141-31

Whatsdastory^b¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 119| D

5/1

Fairly useful chaser who jumped better than usual when opening her chasing account in 22f Taunton handicap 19 days ago. Solid claims if she can avoid mistakes again.

Form: 25-43F1

Eleanor Bob²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 114| D

15/8

Right back on track when gaining breakthrough win in this sphere in 3m handicap at Chepstow 24 days ago. Up 7 lb but she's still not taken lightly.

Form: 4F-3461

Miss Jeanne Moon^p³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: James Best| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 107

16/5

Low-mileage mare who posted just respectable efforts so far over fences, cheekpieces on when fifth in 3m handicap chase at Southwell 38 days ago. Not ruled out eased 2 lb now.

Form: 3P3-245

Non-Runners

Timeless Beauty²⁰

Weight: 11-9| Age: 7

Forecasts

Eleanor Bob (15/8), Hunny Moon (85/40), Miss Jeanne Moon (16/5), Timeless Beauty (4/1), Whatsdastory (5/1)

A case can be made for all of these, but the most persuasive one is for HUNNY MOON who remains unexposed over fences and can return in style after her break and follow up her Market Rasen victory. Fellow last-time scorers Whatsdatory and Eleanor Bob should ensure Fergal O'Brien's progressive mare doesn't have things all her own way though and can chase her home in that order.
