Fitzdares Personal Betting Service Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Made it 2-2 at Uttoxeter when making all in a handicap hurdle in June. Shaped better than the bare result making his chasing debut after 5 months off at Bangor 4 weeks ago and entitled to do better.

Placed both starts between the flags (also placed sole run in a bumper for previous connections) and scored at the third attempt over hurdles in maiden at Hexham maiden in December following 2 years off. Disappointed at Catterick 9 weeks later and off again since. Makes chase debut.

Irish point winner who was a narrow winner on handicap hurdle bow at Sedgefield in 2023. After 21 months off, matched that level switched to fences first 2 starts last term but ran poorly at Market Rasen when last seen in March.

Runner-up in a point before finishing first and second in maiden/novice hurdles in February. Shaped as if better for run on reappearance and was given a considerate enough introduction to chasing at Bangor 11 days ago. Retains potential.

Not much solid form over hurdles and opening mark looks a stiff one sent chasing.

Career best when off the mark over hurdles at Fontwell last month, though she almost threw it away with some sloppy jumping once in front. Interesting chase newcomer.

French recruit who made an underwhelming start for this yard last season and offered little on handicap bow at Fontwell on return. Bit to prove back over fences.
