Virgin Bet Daily Price Boosts Veterans' Handicap Chase

Off time: 16:30 | Winning time: 6m 0.20s

Ramses De Teillee^t³⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe| OR: 145| BF| D

9/2

Has returned to form in veterans' company this season on the back of another wind op, successful at Warwick (3m) on his reappearance before a good second in the Veterans' Handicap Chase Final at Sandown 36 days ago. Can give his running again.

Form: 34P4-12

Mister Malarky^p¹⁰⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey| OR: 145| D

10/3

Lost his way for Colin Tizzard but back to form for new stable when runner-up at Doncaster and Cheltenham in the spring. Returned with a lacklustre display at Ascot but has had a break since.

Form: 05022-P

Chambard³⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-9| J: Miss Lucy Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 140| C| D

14/1

Better than ever last season partnered with Lucy Turner, completing the hat-trick (his fourth success from 6 starts) when landing the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Has failed to complete so far this term, though.

Form: 2111-PU

Senior Citizen^p⁴⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Adrian Heskin| T: A King| OR: 138| D

3/1

Down the weights and back to form when landing a 9-runner 3m contest at Doncaster last time, quickening clear impressively. Still feasibly treated and makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 238-071

Elegant Escape^p³⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 135| CD

14/1

Welsh National winner in 2018. Proved he retains a useful level of ability when ending last term with success in a veterans' event at Ascot (3m) but he's been disappointing this term.

Form: PU1-6PP

Musical Slave^p⁴⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 132| C| D

2/1

Back to his best when scoring around 3m at Sandown and Haydock during the spring. Disappointed last time but type to bounce back quickly.

Form: 3112-57

Non-Runners

Run To Milan³⁶

Weight: 10-10| Age: 11

T: V R A Dartnall J: Alan Johns

Forecasts

Musical Slave (2/1), Run To Milan (5/2), Senior Citizen (3/1), Mister Malarky (10/3), Ramses De Teillee (9/2), Chambard (14/1), Elegant Escape (14/1)

RUN TO MILAN won this off a higher mark last year and shaped well last time, so a bold showing is expected. Senior Citizen quickened away nicely when scoring at Doncaster and he's feared along with Ramses de Teillee.
