BetVictor Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 16:08 | Winning time: 5m 35.26s

Galop De Chasse²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: Ned Fox⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 117| C

28/1

Lost his form last season and hasn't offered much in 2 starts this campaign, on the retreat when crashing out at Bangor last month. Others make greater appeal.

Form: P4PP-5F

Sheldon³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Callum Pritchard⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 115

11/1

Not the most fluent of jumpers but he's yet to finish outside of the frame this season, doing well to last as long as he did under a forcing ride when third here (23.4f, soft) 31 days ago. Others remain likelier winners, though.

Form: F5-4323

The Boola Boss^t⁹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 114| CD

16/1

Jumped well when winning this race from the front last season before following up at Chepstow 2 weeks later. Hasn't made a major impact in 3 starts this season, the last of those coming in December, so will need to return to Newbury to spark him back to form from slipping mark.

Form: 311-483

Wheresmemoneygone^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 114| D

7/4

Wide margin winner on chase/stable debut at Perth in July before sound runner-up efforts from much-inflated mark next 2 outings. Made successful return from 6-month break at Taunton (21.7f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago, again jumping and travelling well, and has to be of interest from 7 lb higher.

Form: 31-1221

Holetown³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 113

14/1

Fairly useful chaser at her best in France and after 2 low-key runs over hurdles for Venetia Williams, was right back to form reverted to chasing when winning an 8-runner handicap at Ludlow (2½m) last month. Had plenty in hand there and should be in the mix again from 6 lb higher mark.

Form: 976-461

One Horse Army²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Aidan Kelly⁽³⁾| T: P Roche| OR: 113

33/1

Still a maiden over hurdles but has won 3 of his last 4 starts over fences, proving better than ever when landing a 13-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (3m, heavy) last month. 11 lb higher now but this Irish raider is respected.

Form: 16-0591

Another Fine Mess²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Bryan Carver| T: J Scott| OR: 113

9/1

Gained second hurdles win at Chepstow over Christmas before following up on his chase debut at Doncaster in February. Beaten by one that got first run when runner-up in a 7-runner event back at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) last month and he's considered from same mark.

Form: F1-5112

Kalista Love³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 111

6/1

Has held her form well since successful on chasing bow at Warwick in October, seeing off a trio of more exposed rivals in good style at Fakenham last month. Up 5 lb but should go well again.

Form: 1-51531

Petty Cash³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly| OR: 110

10/1

Opened chase account at Chepstow (23.6f) following a breathing operation on second of 2 starts last season and good second at same course in November following a 12-month absence. Back on track after another breathing operation at Ludlow last time and he holds solid place claims.

Form: 3/21-263

King Califet²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 109| C

7/2

A fairly useful but very lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Shaped as if needing the run at Exeter on chase debut and showed better form on the back of a breathing operation when fourth of 8 at this course (2½m) 3 weeks ago. Longer trip should suit.

Form: 2/134-84

Dunstall Rambler^t1,p1⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: T R George| OR: 109

28/1

Looked an improved model when routing the opposition on his reappearance at Worcester in October but hasn't built on that when completing twice since and his jumping remains a cause for concern. Tongue strap and cheekpieces applied.

Form: 24-16F4

Forecasts

Wheresmemoneygone (7/4), King Califet (7/2), Kalista Love (6/1), Another Fine Mess (9/1), Petty Cash (10/1), Sheldon (11/1), Holetown (14/1), The Boola Boss (16/1), Galop De Chasse (28/1), Dunstall Rambler (28/1), One Horse Army (33/1)

WHERESMEMONEYGONE is progressive type whose bold-jumping front-running style should lend itself well to Newbury. He's taken to follow up his recent Taunton success at the chief expense of Holetown, who proved a different proposition sent back over fences last time and could still be on a handy mark based on her French form, whilst Another Fines Mess has taken well to chasing and completes the shortlist in a strong race for the grade.
