Gamble Plant (Norfolk) Ltd Queen Boudicca Series Final Mares' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:40 | Winning time: 5m 40.36s

Sainte Doctor^t,p²⁴⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 123| CD

3/1

Completed a hat-trick in 2½m handicap at Ludlow in April. Posted a good third of 6 in 2m4f Aintree handicap following month so she's one to consider returning for her in-form yard.

Form: 31112-3

Gazette Bourgeoise^b,t²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case| OR: 110| CD

5/1

Resumed winning ways in great style in 5-runner handicap chase over C&D 28 days ago, beating Jacks Touch by 21 lengths. Up 7 lb but she's expected to be bang there again in a change of headgear.

Form: 424P-51

It's Easy³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Tristan Durrell| T: Evan Williams| OR: 109

9/2

Wide-margin scorer at Bangor in November and not disgraced off 7 lb higher mark when eighth of 15 in 2m4f handicap at Cheltenham 36 days ago. Well in the mix eased 1 lb.

Form: 135-318

Jacks Touch²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 103| CD

18/1

C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when a remote second of 5 to Gazette Bourgeoise in handicap over C&D 28 days ago. This demands even more.

Form: 43-UP52

Overabottleofred²⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: R T Dunne| T: T R Gretton| OR: 102

9/4

Low-mileage mare who tasted success at the third attempt over fences in 23.5f Huntingdon handicap in April. Up 5 lb and off since but she still can't be discounted.

Form: F4/3221-

Moviddy^p,t³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: Jack Hogan| T: Noel Williams| OR: 101| D

14/1

Finally got off the mark over fences at Wincanton in March but hasn't reproduced that form since, pulled up back hurdling at Ascot last month. Easing in the weights but still need to see more.

Form: 216-57P

Gata Ban^p¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Harriet Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 92

17/2

A fair 22f winner over hurdles. Made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up over C&D in October but has twice failed to build on it, cheekpieces tried when sixth of 13 at Uttoxeter (24f, soft) 18 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 641-266

Belle Montrose^t,p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: K Brogan| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 91| C

40/1

Course winner in October but has failed to fire subsequently, just sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (16.5f, soft) 27 days ago. Needs this step up in trip to spark a resurgence.

Form: 141436

Forecasts

Overabottleofred (9/4), Sainte Doctor (3/1), It's Easy (9/2), Gazette Bourgeoise (5/1), Gata Ban (17/2), Moviddy (14/1), Jacks Touch (18/1), Belle Montrose (40/1)

GAZETTE BOURGEOISE returned to winning ways with a bang over C&D last time and can make light of a 7 lb rise for that wide-margin victory. It's Easy also arrives in very good nick and appeals as the one to chase home Ben Case's mare ahead of returning duo Sainte Doctor and Overabottleofred.
