25 The William Hill Pick Your Places

from Wetherby Racecard - Tuesday 27th December

6TH RACE

We saw yet another brilliant renewal of the William Hill Rowland Meyrick Handicap Chase which went the way of Into Overdrive, ridden by Jamie Hamilton and trained by Mark Walford

Shan Blue was sent off at 5/2 and there

was plenty of rage that he would make a successful seasonal debut. However, he never really got into his usual jumping rhythm and was pulled up early in the race, along with Windsor Avenue and Sporting John.

Aye Right was the pace angle in the race and took the competitive field of 11 at a decent gallop but he was unable to maintain the gallop and eventually finished fourth.

Heading into the home turn, there was only a handful of potential winners which involved Into Overdrive, Sounds Russian, Fanion D’Estruval and Chantry House but the latter fell when coming to make his challenge four from home.

The highly progressive Into Overdrive backed up his second behind L’Homme Press to come home victorious at 4/1. A very gutsy performance from start to finish, he fended off the late surge from the fast finishing Sounds Russian who went down swinging off a high mark of 157.
