LiveScore Bet Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 124| D

Scored twice in a light campaign over hurdles last term. Off 8 months and resumed with a promising third of 5 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, heavy) on his debut over fences 40 days ago, closing up late. Can take a sizeable step forward now. Interesting.

Form: 11134-3

Roger Pol³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 122

Went in at the first attempt over fences at Southwell in October and backed it up with a good staying-on third of 5 in handicap chase at Doncaster (19.1f, good) 34 days ago. Merits serious consideration back up in trip.

Form: 22P0-13

Leading Force^p,t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 108| D

Off 4 months/had wind op before a creditable fourth of 6 in handicap chase here (20.3f, good to soft) 25 days ago. This fair 2m5f chase scorer is a likely player eased 2 lb with that run under his belt.

Form: 6-12974

Cardamon Hill^p²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Henry Brooke| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 105| CD

C&D winner in November and comes here on the back of a solid third of 6 in handicap chase here (20.3f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Enters calculations off an unchanged mark.

Forecasts

Inox Allen (7/4), Roger Pol (5/2), Cardamon Hill (9/2), Autumn Return (5/1), Leading Force (8/1)

Lucinda Russell's INOX ALLEN caught the eye on his chasing bow when a patiently-ridden third at Uttoxeter so looks the way to go here. Roger Pol has made a good start to life over fences too and rates a big danger though, with Leading Force also weighted to have a say in an interesting contest.
