Race Preview

Saunton Surf looks the standout in this competitive handicap chase after an impressive switch to fences. Gary McGill's mare bolted up by 10 lengths in a Downpatrick beginners' chase, and the strength of that form has already been boosted with the runner-up winning by the same margin next time. She shapes like there's more to come over staying trips and could still be well treated on her handicap debut over fences.

Golden Temple has become a model of consistency. He landed a handicap chase at Kilbeggan before backing it up with an excellent runner-up effort over hurdles at Galway during the week. His current form is rock solid, and if those recent exertions haven't taken too much out of him, he's a major player once again.

Jukebox Johnny is an appealing each-way option. He showed far more promise on his chasing debut when finishing second at Limerick over this trip, with the first-time tongue-tie appearing to help. Henry De Bromhead's six-year-old remains unexposed over fences and looks capable of another step forward.

Journey So Far commands respect after an easy beginners' chase success at Tramore and could prove well handicapped if reproducing that level on his handicap debut, while Soldante has been admirably consistent and arrives fit after a solid hurdle run at this meeting, although stamina remains the key question over this longer trip.

Smallcraftwarning is another who could outrun his odds having finished second over this course and distance previously and now returns to one of his favoured tracks.

Value Angle

Jukebox Johnny still has plenty of upside after just one chase start. His Limerick second hinted that he's beginning to find his feet over fences and his opening handicap mark could underestimate his potential.
