Hollywoodbets Appreciation For Sussex Cancer Centre Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:06 | Winning time: 6m 54.6s

Tommie Beau⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 117| C

5/1

Continued on the upgrade as he completed a 4-timer sent chasing at Fakenham (3m) in October. Good runner-up efforts next 2 starts but not fired either start since the turn of the year. Still, return to better ground may help now and his mark has eased.

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Reed| T: M F Harris| OR: 112| CD

15/8

Revitalised by a yard switch when successful in a C&D handicap in February and similar form when third over extended 30.7f at Exeter 12 days ago. Looks a live player provided this doesn't come too soon.

Form: 45P143

Gleno²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 110| BF

7/4

Better than ever over fences last season, winning 3 of his 5 starts at around 3m. Largely performed with credit this term, including when second over hurdles here (25f) 3 weeks ago. Afforded a chance by the assessor back over the larger obstacles.

Form: 1-23852

Aye Aye Charlie¹⁵⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 110| BF| D

6/1

Ended long losing run over hurdles at Newton Abbot (26.5f) in August and similar form when runner-up at that venue the following month. Below par back over fences at Chepstow in October but bounce back not ruled out returning from 5 months off.

Prairie Town^p²³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: J E Moore| T: A W Carroll| OR: 102| CD

16/1

C&D winner who was revived all of a sudden when shock 40/1 winner at Leicester (22.7f) in January. However, merely underlined his inconsistency with pair of lesser efforts since.

Form: 59P164

Forecasts

Gleno (7/4), Len Brennan (15/8), Tommie Beau (5/1), Aye Aye Charlie (6/1), Prairie Town (16/1)

This looks competitive despite the small field but GLENO has been afforded a chance by the assessor and, on the back of a respectable second over hurdles here 3 weeks ago, could well be the way to go with the Gary Moore team continuing in fine form. Len Brennan, who has made a bright start for Milton Harris and the returning Aye Aye Charlie head up the dangers.
