Canine Premier Flex Plus Joint Supplement Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:58 | Winning time: 4m 11.82s

Glen Road³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Callum Bewley| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 118

5/1

Progressive over hurdles, winning 4 times, including twice this season. Low-key start over fences at Newcastle 5 weeks ago, not getting home. Drop in trip not certain to suit given he'd previously looked a stayer.

Form: 1-31146

Double Digits¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs A Hamilton| OR: 117| CD

7/4

Irish point/hurdles winner who left chase debut behind to win over C&D 15 days ago, suited by the strong pace dropped back to 2m having been well backed. Up 7 lb but that's fully justified and his imposing physique suggests there could be even more to come.

Form: 11-2741

Coup De Coeur²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 116| C| D

13/2

Dual winner over fences last season. Yet to hit top form this term but would have been placed had he not departed 3 out at Ayr 3 week ago. Back down to a good mark if on song.

Form: 121-35U

Roysse⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 112| DWS

11/8

Free-going sort who won 3 points as well as a bumper and maiden hurdle but hasn't shown much over fences this season, possibly flattered by his proximity in an unconventional race at Aintree last time. Has had another breathing operation and his yard is at least in very good nick at the minute.

Form: 1P3-793

Weight: 11-4| Age: 9

T: James Moffatt J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Roysse (11/8), Double Digits (7/4), Glen Road (5/1), Coup De Coeur (13/2), One Mill Harbour (14/1)

DOUBLE DIGITS already looks a better chaser than hurdler after his win over C&D 2 weeks ago and can defy a 7 lb rise with further improvement very much on the cards. Coup de Coeur was showing a bit more before unseating at Ayr last time so is feared most now close to his last winning mark.
