BoyleSports Lengthen The Odds Beginners' Chase (GBB Race)

4YO plus | Class 2 | 2m 3f 200y | 3 Runners | Turf

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Reed| T: L Morgan

Picked up for £160,000 after winning a couple of Irish points early last year. Stiff task both starts under Rules so far but this is a slightly less taxing scenario.

Form: 2511/5-8

Beachcomber²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 128| BF

Dual 25f hurdles winner who made an encouraging start in this sphere at Chepstow in October and backed that up when good second of 6 in handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, good, 3/1) 29 days ago. May yet have more to offer.

Form: 1P16-32

Jango Baie²³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 146| C

Irish point recruit who won first 2 starts over hurdles, latterly the Grade 1 Formby over 2m here on Boxing Day. Back on the up when an excellent second in a competitive handicap here on final outing and should make a winning chase debut.

Form: 2/11222-

Forecasts

Jango Baie (2/9), Beachcomber (4/1), Ballymackie (20/1)

This is likely between JANGO BAIE and Beachcomber, with the former taken to prevail making his chase debut having signed off last season with an excellent effort over hurdles here.
