The function Focus Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase Looking a difficult puzzle out to solve with Genois Topping of a field of nine in JP McManus Silks. Despite being pulled up after a bad mistake in Newcastle in February, this horse clearly has ability and will take all that blows to Richie McLenon booked.
Gary and Josh Moore Saddle Havaila Who arrives in having claimed a plumpton handicap last week and must have strong demands under this 7LB penalty. His connections retain the cap that worked so well last time in Sussex.
Leave returned from a short break to finish Runner-Up in Class 2 Reynoldstown Novices’ Chase at Ascot last month and had to find this easier while Art of diplomacy Run his best race to date over fence in Wetherby and cannot be excluded during Sean Bowen.
3.40 FFOS LAS – LILTING VERS AND LIVIN AT LUCO CONTEST Marathon
An amazing renewal of Amroth Bay Caravan Park ‘West Wales National’ Handicap Chase At FFOS, Las sees eight heads to send over three miles.
Livin at Luco Available an impressive hunting debut when he scored at Newton Abbot in October, but has failed to back up the last two times and have a little to prove when he returns from a short absence. If teachers Philip Hobbs and Johnson White have managed to solve bleeding problems that caused him to Exeter, Sean Houlihan’s Mount could go close.
