QuinnBet Daily Free Bet Novices' Handicap Chase

Runner-up over C&D in April and looked rusty on return from summer break when last of 5 in handicap chase at Kelso (23.4f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Respected.

Off the mark over fences at Hexham in April and had bit in hand when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, soft, 5/1) 19 days ago. Can go well again.

Irish point winner was outpaced over 2m on chase bow last month and though she unseated early at Hexham last time, she should improve back at a more suitable trip. Predicted lack of pace slight concern here but she's high on the shortlist.

Unreliable sort. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Attracted support when sixth of 9 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (19.3f, soft, 11/2) 14 days ago but ran another moody race and is generally opposable at present.

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (24.1f, soft). Off 7 months. Point runner-up looks on fair mark for chase debut.

Bumper winner. Standout effort over hurdles last season came when fourth of 15 in handicap at Fontwell (21.6f) in January. Makes chase debut on his first run for yard after leaving Warren Greatrex. Others preferred.

Won at Wetherby on penultimate hurdles outing last term but form from that race didn't work out and was pulled up lame when last seen. Winless from 6 chase starts in France but could be interesting now in handicap.

Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, failed to improve on handicap hurdle debut when seventh of 15 at Ayr (19.5f, good to soft) 24 days ago, shaping as if in need of step back up to this sort of trip. Improvement required on chase debut.
