Hexham

Friday, October 4, 2024ChaseClass 53m

A race which to some degree revolves around INSTANT GAMBLER who is 7 lb well-in under a penalty for last week's comfortable Fontwell success. The chief threat may come from chase newcomers Lady Mendoza, whose stable landed this race in 2022, and Defence Witness, both of whom won in the pointing field at the start of their career.

    Verdict
    Fair bumper winner was placed on first 2 outings over hurdles. A little disappointing that he hasn't made more of an impact in handicap hurdles since but this point winner could fare better now chasing.

    Modest form in varied events under Rules but did end his time with Jedd O'Keeffe with a creditable second in a Uttoxeter handicap chase in June. First run for Barry Murtagh after a £5,500 sale in July.

    Verdict
    Modest hurdler but was competitive in handicaps from this sort of mark and a point win at the start of her career provides hope she'll be at least as effective over fences. Respected for a yard with recent winning form in this race.

    Verdict
    Made a winning handicap hurdle debut at Kelso in May. Not in anything like the same form at Perth in July but a point background provides hope she'll take to chasing after 3 months off. Visor off, cheekpieces back on.
