Neu-Servo Bet On Great Repairs Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

4YO plus | Class 4 | 2m 7f | 9 Runners | Turf

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 113

Runner-up both starts in points and has shown fair form sent chasing this year, posting a good third of 8 in handicap at Uttoxeter (2½m, good to soft) last month. Shaped as still in form until race voided at Uttoxeter since. One to consider back up in trip.

Form: 3225-3V

Ras Kassar^h,t⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Rian Corcoran⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 112

Fair winning hurdler/chaser in France. Has shown promise for his new yard, jumping well when runner-up in 2½m handicap chases at Uttoxeter and Perth this summer. Not sure this longer trip will be in his favour.

Form: 73/0422

Axel Bleue^p,t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: S Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 109| BF| CDWS

Point/dual bumper winner who came good at the third time of asking over fences over C&D in July. Backed it up with a very good second of 9 in C&D handicap last time. Building up a good record round here and a likely player once more after a breathing operation.

Form: P9-3312

Billy Boi Blue^p,t³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 109| D

Capitalised on a much-reduced mark when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23f, good to soft) 30 days ago, just holding on. Needs to back it up now switched to chasing (not convincing in 2 previous runs).

Form: PP-5661

All Inn Hand^p,t⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Lorcan Williams| T: M Bowen| OR: 107

Scored over hurdles and fences last summer. Back on track with fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle here (2½m, good to soft) in June. Tried in different headgear back chasing and no banker to back that up. Sean Bowen on stablemate Axel Bleue.

Form: 3/114-P4

Camino Rocio^p¹²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 105WS

A 5-time chase winner (at up to 3m) for the Jim & Suzi Best yard in 2024/25. Disappointed under Rules last season but bought for £10,000 in May after a spell in points and clearly of interest off a reduced mark starting out for Dan Skelton after a breathing operation.

Form: 344222-

Twist Of Fatecatch^p³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 103

A fair winning hurdler but only eighth of 12 in handicap at Market Rasen (21f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Makes chase debut with work to do.

Form: 404-368

Gata Ban^p⁷⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Dylan Johnston| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 92| CD

On the up over fences and bids for a hat-trick following wins over C&D and in 4-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (3¼m, good) in June. Must be considered back from a break up 3 lb.

Form: 634-211

Forecasts

Gata Ban (3/1), Axel Bleue (7/2), Billy Boi Blue (9/2), Ras Kassar (11/2), Camino Rocio (11/2), Artiste D'ainay (7/1), Gaelic Rambler (12/1), Twist Of Fatecatch (14/1), All Inn Hand (14/1)

A few with chances but it could pay to side with CAMINO ROCIO who was a five-time chase winner for Jim and Suzi Best and now starts out for Dan Skelton on the back of a breathing operation off a reduced mark. Hat-trick seeking Gata Ban rates the obvious threat, with Axel Bleue another fancied to play a prominent role.
