Ascot Race 6 - Sodexo Live! Veterans' Handicap Chase
COPPERHEAD (1) has been a wonderful servant to connections running in some prestigious races. Could be capable of rediscovering winning ways over a course and distance where he scored previously. GABBYS CROSS (3) is yet to let himself down in four starts for this yard. Only narrowly behind the main selection at Newbury four weeks ago in first time cheekpieces. Major player once again. CERTAINLY RED (2) was given a spell before running with promise at Sandown Park three weeks ago finishing third. Not ruled out. HOLD YOUR FORT (4) struggled to match the same form since winning at Ludlow in October. Will be of interest during the summer.

Useful gelding. Resumes off a 29 day letup. Last outing won by a neck Newbury on February 28 over 5200m defeating Gabbys Cross carrying 68.5kg at $15 in a steeplechase. The run before didn't finish the race at Sandown Park on January 3 over 4800m. Rates well. Right in the mix on current form.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after 16 months finished third of 9 starters at Sandown Park on March 7 over 4840m, on slow going 3.5 len behind Calimystic with 77kg at $51. Previously second-up won by 1.75 len Sandown Park on November 10 2024 over 4800m defeating Copperhead carrying 76kg at $2.90 in a steeplechase. Normally hard to beat with a run under the belt,

Racing second-up today. Fresh up after five months didn't finish the race at Taunton on March 9 over 4600m. Previously second-up finished third in a small field at Newton Abbot on September 29 over 5200m, 12 len behind Bagheera Ginge carrying 72kg at $2.90. Looks to have the job ahead.
