Fontwell Park Race 4 - Weatherbys Racing Bank Hcp Chase (Gbb Race)
SPECIAL JOHN (1) built on a Wincanton chase placing when scoring at the same venue tackling 5000m by 4L and arrives in the right form to get involved again. Holds leading claims. GATA BAN (3) turned a course second into an emphatic Worcester win attempting 4600m by 8L only four days ago and must be feared if backing up. Represents the main danger. BALLYFINN (2) won here tackling track and trip two back prior to a below par fourth at this venue. Can rebound. Makes some appeal. EDGEWELL (4) placed at Hereford before being eased down at Warwick. Worth giving another chance. Cannot be entirely discounted.

Recent form hard to fault. Last run favourite; won by 4 len Bangor-On-Dee on May 16 over 4800m defeating Good Work carrying 75.5kg at $4 in a steeplechase. The run before finished second in a small field at Wincanton on April 12 over 5000m, 4.5 len behind Mahler Moon carrying 71kg at $1.60. Promising galloper. Likely to figure prominently again.
