Racing TV Mares' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 120| D

Handicap winner from 4 lb higher in November 2024 and fared as well as she was entitled to when third of 5 in listed company at Newbury 3 weeks ago. This represents a significant drop in class and she looks the one to beat.

Form: 4U-2203

Lady In The Park^b²⁸⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 115

15/2

Much more like it back up in trip and fitted with headgear for the first time when opening her account at Perth in April. Off since and stable could be in better form.

Form: U52541-

Sunset Hill^p1¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 110| D

4/1

Has struggled in recent chase handicaps, finishing fifth in her last 3 starts, the latest of them at Newcastle (23.4f) 19 days ago when she was going through the motions. First-time cheekpieces need to spark her back into life.

Form: 0-43555

Celestial Fashion¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Callum Bewley| T: I A Duncan| OR: 102| C

5/2

Likeable and consistent mare in her grade and recorded second win from last 3 starts and ready fashion at Wetherby 12 days ago (other success gained here). Up 8 lb for what was a particularly thin race but she's clearly in good order.

Form: 222-141

5/1

Made a winning chasing debut at Kelso in October 2024 but mixed record since, held when not fluent last in first-time cheekpieces last week. Tongue strap back on.

Form: 33-U9P5

Divas Doyen^p⁶⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: P W Wadge| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 84| C

16/1

Scored twice over fences last season, latterly at Hexham (20.1f) in March. Ran right up to form when second at Musselburgh in November but has it all to do from 10 lb out of the weights.

Form: 13-7432

Forecasts

Celestial Fashion (6/4), Lady In The Park (9/4), Ilovethenightlife (7/2), Sunset Hill (10/1), Similar Story (14/1), Divas Doyen (20/1)

This represents a drop in class for ILOVETHENIGHTLIFE, who was third in listed company at Newbury and she can make her class tell. Celestial Fashion made all when winning at Wetherby 12 days ago and though up 8 lb for winning a very thin race, she still needs considering. Sunset Hill has been going through the motions lately but tries first-time cheekpieces, which may aid her cause.
