Ffos Las Race 3 - Dragonbet Towton Novices' Chase (Grade 2) (Gbb Race)

HANDSTANDS (1) came back from a first-time fall at Wincanton to land the G2 Esher Novice's Chase at Sandown over 4800m. Steps back down in trip but distance looks to be optimal. Top choice. CHERIE D'AM (7) found an eye-catching 7L success in the Listed Lady Godiva Mares' Novice's Chase. Mares allowance will help her to finish near. SAINT DAVY (6) placed 4L third behind the top pick in the Sandown G2 first-time tackling chasing. May have come on from that performance. HILLCREST (2) only took to chasing this season and is yet to place. Softer conditions underfoot will aid his challenge.

Last start finished seventh of 8 starters at Kempton Park 4yo+ HCP CHSE (C3) on December 26 over 4110m, 16 len behind Leader In The Park carrying 75kg at $7. The start before that; won by 6 len Chepstow 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C3) on November 22 over 3900m defeating Enjoy Your Life carrying 75.5kg at $2.40 in a steeplechase. Disappointing last time and looking elsewhere.
