Tomorrow, December 26, 2024ChaseClass 22m3f

Preference is for RICHMOND LAKE, who is back on his last winning mark and ran a cracker in the Grand Sefton here last month. Westerninthepark may have more to offer over fences yet and rates the principal threat.

    Verdict
    Bumper/dual hurdles winner who made a winning start in this sphere at Stratford (20.9f) in October and backed that up with creditable second of 7 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (20.2f, good to soft, 11/2) 39 days ago. Likely more to come yet.

    Verdict
    Had a prolific period in 2023, completing a four-timer over C&D 12 months ago. Seemed to lose confidence in his jumping thereafter but right back to best, after 7 months off, when fourth in last month's Grand Sefton over the National fences. Likely contender.

    Verdict
    Bagged back-to-back course handicaps (both 15.8f) on first 2 starts over fences this autumn. Hit with a 10 lb rise for second of those victories and proved disappointing at Newbury latest but is still low mileage and he has scored over this longer trip before.

    Verdict
    Improved again last season, the highlight being his victory in Greatwood Gold Cup at Newbury (20f) in March. Disappointed at same venue on return last month but may have needed that and he could be a player.

    Verdict
    Useful handicap hurdler and similar form over fences, running well when second of 4 in handicap chase at Warwick (16.2f) in May of last year. Looked badly in need of run, on first start since, at Wetherby last month and this should reveal more.
