weatherbysshop.co.uk Handicap Chase

Improved again when landing the odds in maiden hurdle at Plumpton (2m, soft) in February. Disappointed on handicap bow at Newbury final start but makes chasing debut/return in a weak-looking race (placed completed start in Irish points).

Won chase at Thurles 12 months ago. However, well held last 3 starts and tough to assess at present. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Robert Tyner.

Bumper winner who failed to score over hurdles but has the build for chasing and duly improved when opening account on return/debut over fences at Fontwell. Shaped much better than bare result there 4 weeks ago but folded in alarming fashion after turning for home looking the winner. Down in trip.

Completed a hat-trick for his current yard at Leicester in January but yet to fire in 3 runs this term. Needs to take a big step forward.

Poor mare who looks up against it from out of the handicap.
