Tysers Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 16:04 | Winning time: 6m 58.3s

Fantastikas^p,t²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 119

6/1

On a losing sequence and last of 4 finishers at Haydock 4 weeks ago. Career-low mark and good-value amateur booking are the positives.

Form: 623-P34

Northern Poet⁴²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford| OR: 117| CD

8/1

Recorded a hat-trick switched to fences in the second half of 2022/23. Lightly raced since but mark is fair and he was denied only by an improving sort at Plumpton on return. That form has been boosted and he's one to be interested in.

Form: 1/P55-22

Invincible Nao^h³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore| OR: 116

5/2

Opened chase account with a wide-margin victory at Fakenham (21f, soft) in February before finishing a fine second at Sandown. All the better for return when second at Leicester, beaten only by a subsequent winner. Big shout if staying longer trip.

Form: 412U-52

Morfee²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: James Best| T: J W Mullins| OR: 110| CD

15/2

At least as good as ever having another try at chasing last season, winning twice, including this race off this mark. Well held first 2 starts this season but did show a bit more when third over hurdles at Fakenham. No surprise to see him go well.

Form: 121-PP3

Vision De Maine^p1,t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 110| BF

3/1

Irish point winner who has made an excellent start (at around 3m) in this sphere, scoring at Uttoxeter and Lingfield before an excellent second of 8 back at Lingfield. Excuses at Wincanton since (found to have been struck into) so expected to bounce back. Headgear on.

Form: 07-112P

Whydah Gally^b,t³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Freddie Gingell⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 106

7/2

Hit the target twice in handicaps chases at Lingfield last season but yet to hit top form this term and needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 48-2354

Forecasts

Invincible Nao (5/2), Vision De Maine (3/1), Whydah Gally (7/2), Fantastikas (6/1), Morfee (15/2), Northern Poet (8/1)

INVINCIBLE NAO was clear of the others when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Leicester and can go one better having been eased 1 lb. Northern Poet has been beaten only by a couple of progressive sorts on his last 2 starts here and is the obvious threat.
