Hereford Race 3 - Star Sports Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)
LEAVE OF ABSENCE (2) is lightly raced in his career. Made a decent chasing debut placing 1.5L second at Kempton and form of that race has worked out. Leading contender. EL RIO (1) was denied a hat-trick at Kempton on Boxing Day placing 2.5L behind a subsequent winner. Thereabouts. DON'T TELL SU (3) could go one better after two runner-up finishes including a 2L second at Warwick in latest. Only missed top-three once his entire career. Warrants close consideration. GYENYAME (4) won two starts back at Exeter. Wears first-time blinkers to bring out further improvement. Interesting.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up finished second of 9 runners at Sandown Park 3yo+ HDLE HCP (C3) on November 10 over 4000m, 8 len behind Act Of Authority carrying 69.5kg at $4.50. Second run from a spell finished second of 11 starters at Warwick 3yo+ HCP HDLE (C4) on December 12 over 4200m, 2 len behind Mr Hope Street with 75kg at $4. Fitter now and making headway every start. Best form over the jumps stacks up well.
