RACE SUMMARY Those towards the top of the weights look the ones worth focusing on, with BEN BUIE selected to make a winning reappearance after 4 months off the track. His form really took off after the visor was fitted, and with his stable still among the winners, he’s expected to be bang there. Dunbar finally tasted success at Ffos Las last month so he heads up the dangers now up and running, with Boagrius also fancied to feature.

SECOND RACE 1.50 TWO MILES ABOUT FOUR FURLONGS (2M 4F) FOR FIVE YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

THE FBC MANBY BOWDLER SOLICITORS HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 4) Total race value £10600 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £3839, 2nd £1920, 3rd £960, 4th £480, 5th £280, 6th £280, 7th £280, 8th £280. (Penalty Value £5010.32) Weights lowered 2lb.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): P Hobbs (27 wins from 94 runners, 29%) runs ALBERIC AND CHEF D’EQUIPE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): B Pauling (3 wins from 13 runners, 23%) runs DE BARLEY BASKET LONGEST TRAVELLER: O CONNELL STREET trained by K Frost, Newark, 108 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

ALBERIC has won 2 of his last 3 outings and proved he can compete from this sort of mark at Market Rasen last time, so is fancied to take the beating. Gallow Ford is of significant interest on chase debut, whilst Getmegold should also be in the mix if able to bounce back.

THE GET PULLING WITH PJ NICHOLLS SSANGYONG NOVICES’ HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 4) (GBB RACE) Total race value £10600 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £3839, 2nd £1920, 3rd £960, 4th £480. (Penalty Value £5010.32) Weights raised 1lb and paragraph 34 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.

RACE SUMMARY PARICOLOR produced his best effort over fences last time and he remains open to improvement after only 3 chase starts so far. The 6-y-o also has the potential to rate higher based on his form over hurdles, so he can record his first victory over the bigger obstacles this time around. Onchan can bounce back from last time to give the selection most to think about, with Pennyforapound completing the shortlist.

RACE SUMMARY A number of interesting contenders but GREAT HEART’JAC was highly tried in the Mersey Novices’ Hurdle last month and now makes his handicap debut. The 7-y-o may have found it tough in the Aintree Grade 1, but he looks to be on a workable opening mark and can open his account.

Amongst the dangers are the formerly-smart Flat performer Ladykiller and the steadily-progressive Maskia.

RACE SUMMARY

PEERLESS BEAUTY was unlucky to bump into the unbeaten Lady Adare at Taunton on debut and can make the most of calmer waters here after being highly tried at Cheltenham last time, Call The Fairies is exposed but her form ranks highly in this grade, whilst Missfit remains with room to improve further, especially if jumping with more accuracy.

An open-looking contest with preference for OLYMPIC HONOUR, who could step up on his recent run and is now 1lb below his last winning mark. The 6-y-o had been off for 6 months prior to his Chepstow outing 33 days ago so could make more of an impact this time. Rootless Tree is another who is well handicapped on old form, while Simply Red remains unexposed as she makes her stable debut for Donald McCain.
