Stephens Industries EPDM Flat Roofing Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

At the veteran stage now and done most of his winning at Ffos Las in recent years. Can go well fresh, however, and returns on a workable mark. Cheekpieces back on.

Sole win under Rules came on debut 4 years ago but plenty of placed efforts since, including when creditable second of 11 in handicap chase at Bangor over this sort of trip last month. Merits consideration.

In need of stiffer test of stamina in 3 starts over hurdles and left similar impression when third of 11 in handicap chase at this course (3m, good to soft, 16/1) on debut over fences 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Should progress.

Fair winner over hurdles and got off the mark in this sphere when landing 7-runner handicap chase at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) 34 days ago. Ought to appreciate this longer trip and is one for shortlist.

Not scored for over 2 years and ran moody race when fifth over hurdles at Ffos Las last month. Cheekpieces back on. Others more appealing.

Back to winning ways when bagging 9-runner handicap chase (4/1) at Exeter (3m, soft) 20 days ago, always holding on. Tries longer trip now and must be taken seriously.

Tumbled down the weights but been well below best in recent starts, well beaten behind Lightonthewing at Exeter latest. Cheekpieces now tried for first time but he is hard to recommend with any confidence.

Ended last season with success over fences and resumed in fine form winning back-to-back handicaps at Ffos Las/Fontwell. Disappointed twice since, however, and debatable whether this longer trip will suit.

Not successful since April 2023 and there wasn't enough encouragement in last month's Plumpton third to suggest his losing run is about to end. 1 lb out of the handicap.
