Chepstow Race 4 - Congratulations 2024 Wgn Winner Val Dancer Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

ILLICO DE COTTE (2) is consistent. Won a similar level 5200m novices handicap chase at Carlisle before a good third there last month. Leading player. BALLYBENTRAGH (1) drops sharply in standard having finished eighth tackling a 3200m handicap hurdle at Newbury. Worth a market check. PHANTOM GETAWAY (5) did well two starts back when 4L second in a lower graded 4800m handicap chase at Ffos Las. Holds claims. MAHLAND (4) stays nicely and handles deep ground. Might feature. Something for the Multiples: LIVIN ON LUCO (3)

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up won by 0.8 len Newton Abbot 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C4) on October 30 over 4200m on heavy track defeating Sherborne with 73kg at $4.50 in a steeplechase. Second-up finished sixth of 9 runners at Cheltenham 4yo+ HCP CHSE (C3) on December 14 over 5060m, 69 len behind Haiti Couleurs carrying 66kg at $13. Will need to lift. Looks tested without a big turnaround in form.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming finished second of 13 runners at Ffos Las 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C4) on November 10 over 4800m, 4 len behind Impatient with 76kg at $6.50. Second run from a spell pulled up at Ludlow 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C4) on December 4 over 4800m. Rates well. Capable enough and shouldn't be far away.
