Saumur Cup Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 17:02 | Winning time: 4m 54.11s

Move With The Beat^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽⁵⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 109| D

7/4

Multiple point winner who has found some improvement to win 2 of his last 3 starts, most recently landing a Wincanton handicap chase (2½m, good) in a first-time tongue strap (retained here). 4 lb rise fair enough and likely to give another good account.

Form: 5RF141

Two To Tango^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: C J Todd| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 108

10/3

Winless following 11 attempts over hurdles but off the mark at fourth attempt in this sphere, gamely seeing off his 4 rivals with first-time cheekpieces enlisted at Stratford (19f, good to soft). 4 lb rise tolerable and will be a threat if again responding positively to the headgear.

Form: 3-23221

Sleeping Satellite^p1,t³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Jack Hogan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 106

9/1

Positively ridden to win twice over fences this season, latterly accounting for 5 rivals at Catterick in November. Respectable efforts in defeat since but the first-time cheekpieces will need to help eke out some improvement if he's to emerge on top here.

Claim Du Brizais^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 97

13/8

Bumper/hurdles winner who bettered what he achieved on first 3 runs over fences when third in a 9-runner C&D handicap last month. Looks ready to strike on that evidence and he remains open to improvement in this sphere.

Caterpillar Girl³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 95| C

28/1

Decisive debut bumper winner here last spring but failed to shine in 3 starts over hurdles and needs to raise her game now switched to fences.

Form: 1550

Bahtiyar^p¹⁷⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: M Young| OR: 74

50/1

Long-standing maiden who was a creditable third of 7 over 25f here when last seen in November but he's 9 lb 'wrong' at the weights and again looks vulnerable.

Forecasts

Claim Du Brizais (13/8), Move With The Beat (7/4), Two To Tango (10/3), Moonshine Man (5/1), Sleeping Satellite (9/1), Roger Rarebit (10/1), Caterpillar Girl (28/1), Bahtiyar (50/1)

CLAIM DU BRIZAIS took a step firmly in the right direction in this sphere when third over C&D last time and he could be the answer if able to build on that, which seems likely. Moonshine Man is feared most on the back of a solid effort at Kempton but Two To Tango has to be respected following his Stratford breakthrough success and both Move With The Beat and Roger Rarebit also have claims in a competitive handicap.
