Bangor On Dee Race 3 - Virgin Bet Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

NO TACKLE (4) has been a model of consistency this season. Will appreciate this better ground than the heavy going encountered at Leicester last month. Might need to find a little more improvement to score again here but that can't be ruled out. BO CRUZ (5) arrives bidding for a hat-trick after scoring at Catterick in January and then Wetherby in February with the latest effort by 6.5L. Likely to give a bold sight. VAL DANCER (2) ran with credit in the Eider Chase over 6700m at Newcastle last month only to not see out the trip. Player in this easier contest. CASTLE ROBIN (3) warrants a market check after 543 days off.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start sat behind the speed prior to fading finished ninth of 11 runners at Ascot on February 14 over 4800m, 34 len behind Montregard carrying 66.5kg at $6. Run before fell at Doncaster on January 24 over 4800m. Fought on last time. Finds a suitable contest and is worth including.

Comments

Useful gelding. Last outing made some head-way from midfield; finished fourth of 10 starters at Newcastle on February 21 over 6700m, 12 len behind Anglers Crag with 65kg at $8.50. The run before sat on the speed and boxed on steadily finished fourth of 14 runners at Lingfield on January 19 over 5800m, slow track; 18 len behind Aworkinprogress with 74.5kg at $12. Continues to improve. Must be a chance in today's scenario.

First up last campaign finished fifth of 11 runners at Doncaster on December 16 2023 over 4800m, 7 len behind Forward Plan carrying 72kg at $17. Needs to find best to be competitive here.

Impressive in recent runs. Last to post a big 6 len win. Wetherby on February 26 over 4840m slow track defeating Court At Slip with 76kg at $4 in a steeplechase. The run to post a big 10 len win. Catterick on January 30 over 5000m on rain affected going defeating Court At Slip with 73kg at $5 in a steeplechase. Has been racing well. Likely to add to the winning tally.
