Boxing Day At Market Rasen Racecourse Handicap Chase

Twice a winner in small field chases last term and running up to best when last seen, third of 12 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to firm) following a wind op in June. Needs considering back from a break.

Enhanced good Worcester record with a win in June. Not so good next 2 starts, however, so bit to prove now.

Dual-purpose performer who displayed a nice turn of foot when landing 7-runner handicap at Worcester (23f) in July. Resumed winning ways in a small field at Perth 3 weeks ago and comes into the reckoning back down in trip.

Winning pointer/bumper performer who landed the odds without any fuss over hurdles at Market Rasen and made it 2 from 4 in that sphere in novice at Taunton when last seen in February. Remains with potential, especially now going chasing (won completed start in Irish points).

Bumper/hurdles winner who landed a small-field Ludlow handicap (2½m) in a first-time visor in February. Good placed efforts next 2 starts and can go well again.

Opened chase account at Stratford last summer and resumed winning ways over 2½m at Huntingdon a year ago. Ran no sort of race there in January (reported to have an irregular heartbeat) and not seen since.
