FormscanBy Tom Weekes - A chance is taken that PRINCE ZALTAR will be ready following over a year off, as he is well handicapped in this sphere. A three-time winner and runner-up in an Aintree hurdle when rated 121 last December, he has competed in just two career chases but finished a good second on his latest effort and represents a yard which is doing well. Optional Mix has failed to capitalise on a lower hurdle rating in recent times but is better over fences. She won her previous chase race in June and today’s rider claims 7lb. Five-time winner Where’s Frankie is much better than he showed over hurdles at Navan last month but nonetheless would prefer further than today’s distance.
An extended handicap steeplechase for five years old and upwards (130 = 11st 12lbs)Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each steeplechase won.
