Best Odds Guaranteed Overnight At CopyBet Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

5YO plus | Class 4 | 2m 4f 198y | 4 Runners | Turf

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Danny McMenamin| T: L Morgan| OR: 114| BF

Winning hurdler who has improved over fences this term, opening chase account at the second attempt in a Leicester handicap in December. Was in second when falling at the last at Southwell (15.8f, soft) on latest outing and he's a major player back up in trip.

Form: 41-712F

Kahavari^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 111

5/1

Fair winner over hurdles in France but mixed form in handicap chases this season, following a good second at Huntingdon with a lesser effort when well beaten at Ayr (16.5f, heavy) 26 days ago.

Form: 2-U6425

Celestial Fashion³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Callum Bewley| T: I A Duncan| OR: 110| CD

11/10

Likeable and consistent mare at this level, making it 3 wins from 4 starts this season with an easy success in 6-runner mares' handicap over C&D (good to soft) last month. Up another 8 lb but she can make another bold bid.

Form: 22-1411

Kadjar Des Mottes³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 106

7/2

Point winner who has posted fair form under Rules without recording a victory, making his third chase start when edged out late in 5-runner novices' handicap at Doncaster (24f, heavy) last month. More needed in this contest, though.

Form: 34-4F42

Forecasts

Celestial Fashion (5/4), Benmore (2/1), Kadjar Des Mottes (9/2), Kahavari (7/1)

BENMORE has taken his form up a notch sent chasing this season, in the process of running creditably behind the promising winner when departing at the last at Southwell a month ago, so he could be able to resume winning ways. Celestial Fashion is feared most as she bids for the hat-trick.
