William Hill Pick Your Places Mares' Handicap Chase

Off time: 12:26 | Winning time: 6m 40.06s

Gazette Bourgeoise¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: Mr Charlie Case⁽⁷⁾| T: B I Case| OR: 121

9/4

Likeable mare who scored twice over hurdles last season and has run with credit in a couple of handicap chases this term. Thereabouts.

Form: 1244-24

Herewegohoney^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 117| D

10/3

Bagged a pair of novice hurdles at around 19.5f during the spring and all the sharper for a comeback run at Bangor when making a successful start over fences at Catterick (25f) last month. More to come form her over fences. The one to beat.

Form: F411-51

Good Look Charm^t1³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: B S Hughes| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 114

4/1

Bumper/dual hurdles winner who finished second on return/chase debut at Fontwell (19.5f) early last month. Not in same form switched to handicaps when fifth at Lingfield subsequently, though. Tongue tie on now.

Form: 1210-25

Juniper²³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: H Whittington| OR: 108| D

9/4

Gained her breakthrough success in 5-runner handicap chase at Warwick (3m) in March and followed up over hurdles at Fontwell 5 weeks later. Much depends on whether she's ready to roll after 5 months off.

Form: 6/P541-1

Sadie Hill^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: A Ralph| OR: 93

12/1

Improved when second on yard/handicap debut at Fontwell (19f, good) in October but has disappointingly failed to build in it twice since. A switch to fences needs to help her get back on track.

Form: 355-20P

Forecasts

Juniper (9/4), Gazette Bourgeoise (9/4), Herewegohoney (10/3), Good Look Charm (4/1), Sadie Hill (12/1)

There should be more to come from HEREWEGOHONEY over the larger obstacles and she can make light of a 1 lb nudge for Catterick, perhaps at the main expense of Ben Case's Gazette Bourgeoise.
