Paris Pike Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:38 | Winning time: 6m 19.17s

Grand Voyage²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 123| CD

7/4

Progressive over hurdles, winning twice at this track, and has hit the ground running over fences, off the mark on his second go in this sphere at Ayr last time. Open to further improvement and makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 3211-21

Git Maker²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 122| BF

6/5

Point winner who was three from four over hurdles and made a solid start to chasing when runner-up in a 5-runner handicap at Sandown last month. Type to do better in this sphere.

Form: 11141-2

Ned Tanner²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N W Alexander| OR: 116| BF| CD

7/2

Dual novice hurdle winner who showed something to work on when fourth over C&D on chasing debut 29 days ago. Should improve from that, so can't be discounted.

Form: 43131-4

Leostar²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Craig Nichol| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 115| C

16/1

Hurdles winner for Alistair Whillans and looked to retain plenty of ability when third in a C&D handicap chase on debut for this stable. Should do better.

Form: 24812/3

Forecasts

Git Maker (6/5), Grand Voyage (7/4), Ned Tanner (7/2), Leostar (16/1)

GRAND VOYAGE has made an excellent start over fences and this likeable type should be able to up his game again to double his tally over the larger obstacles. The other three all offered encouragement on their recent chasing debuts and can have a case made for them, with Git Maker striking as the main danger.
