Betfair Chase Day
NAP: WODHOOH – (2.40)
NB: GREY DAWNING – (3.00)
1.15 Haydock: KABRAL DU MATHAN was ultra-consistent last season within competitive handicap company, signing off with a close second in Grade 2 company at Ayr. He looks solid here on his stable debut for the Skeltons. (Win)
1.30 Ascot: IL EST FRANCAIS is a very classy type, and last year’s King George runner-up can post a bold bid under these terms for Tom George and James Reveley, as he’s the highest-rated horse in the field and gets weight off all of his rivals. (Win)
1.50 Haydock: THE JUKEBOX MAN was progressing into an exciting type last term, winning the Grade 1 Kauto Star novice’s chase at Kempton when last seen. He probably won’t need to be at his best to win this, and should be going very close. (Win)
2.10 Punchestown: LOSSIEMOUTH should be very tough to beat here, and is by far the best horse in this race. She should kick off another exciting campaign with a win. (Win)
2.25 Haydock: ELECTRIC MASON posted a very solid effort on seasonal reappearance when second behind Ma Shantou in a competitive Cheltenham handicap. He’s got every chance here on that form under Freddie Gordon, and he should be a nice price. (Each-Way)
2.40 Ascot: WODHOOH is a very talented Mare, and was a decisive winner of the Martin Pipe at last season’s Cheltenham Festival. She signed off her campaign at Aintree when second to Lossiemouth in Grade 1 company, and that level of form would be good enough to win this. (NAP) (Win)
3.00 Haydock: GREY DAWNING was second in this last year, and signed off his campaign when second to Gaelic Warrior at Aintree. He sets the standard for the Skelton’s, and should post a bold bid to go a place better in this year’s renewal. (NB)(Win)
3.15 Ascot: JPR ONE is down in grade here, and should strip fitter following his run in the Haldon Gold Cup on his seasonal reappearance last month. He should be a big player at this level for the in-form Tizzard yard. (Each-Way)
3.35 Haydock: MAJOR FORTUNE can build on an encouraging run at Cheltenham last month, where he finished fourth of fourteen. He’s been dropped a further pound for that effort by the handicapper, and he’s versatile ground-wise. (Each-Way)
