Romford Bags Race 4 - The Big Harry Bentham Memorial Chase
GWYN FLEET (5) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (29.30) last time in an A3 at Valley. Has a strong record out of this box with four wins and three minor placings from eight starts. Can make amends. COME ON SHEILEEN (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with eight wins and three minors from 15 tries. Recorded a 2 length win (24.37) in a OR last time at this track. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. XTRA LENGTH (4) was a last start winner (24.30) at this track who is building a strong winning record. Won at his only start from this box. Deserves serious consideration again. NOT NOW ALAN (6) boasts a solid strike-rate over this track and distance.
