PricedUp.Bet Gordon Richards Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Found improvement when scoring over hurdles at Ayr (24.3f) in November. Below that level in a trio of subsequent outings but warrants respect on switch to chasing here.

Points winner who won 2 of his 5 starts over hurdles last term. Type to make a better chaser but his yard isn't quite firing on all cylinders currently.

Progressive over timber last term, scoring 3 times and ending campaign with creditable third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (24f, good). in April. Must be of interest on chase debut.

Took some time to make it to the track but looked a good prospect when winning 2m novice hurdles at Haydock and Bangor on his first 2 starts. Back to that sort of form when third at Cheltenham (20.3f) in April and is an interesting recruit to chasing.

Pulled up when last seen at Wetherby 8 months ago but scored 3 times over hurdles in 2024. Goes chasing now and market may prove best guide to claims.

Won first 2 starts over the smaller obstacles and found improvement when very good sixth of 14 in listed hurdle at Perth (23.9f, soft) in April. Looks a likely sort for chasing and must be respected on debut here.

Bought for £135,000 after easily winning sole start in Irish points and made a successful Rules debut in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter in March. Failed to progress at Ayr the following month but remains with plenty of potential switched to chasing now.

Ended last season in very good nick over hurdles and found immediate improvement when making winning chase debut in Hexham handicap (20.1f, good) 22 days ago. This looks much tougher but he should have more to offer in this sphere.

Completed hurdling hat-trick at Uttoxeter (23.3f) in December and matched best form when creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (3/1) at Perth (26.6f, soft). when last seen in April. Has experience in points so could be a factor on chasing bow.

Bumper/hurdles winner who was in good form without scoring over fences during first half of this year, running a cracker from out of the weights when second of 6 in handicap chase at Hexham (20.1f, good) in May. Should give another good account. Engaged 4.05 Wetherby Saturday.

Made the most of a good opportunity when winning Hexham maiden hurdle (16.2f) in March. Finds himself 2 lb out of the weights on switch to chasing but yard's novices always warrant respect in this discipline.

Without a victory in bumpers or over hurdles and is likely best watched from 3 lb out of the handicap on chase debut.
