Hereford Race 1 - CopyBet Supporting UK Racing Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
MAHLER MOON (4) proved a resounding winner at Wincanton three weeks ago. Maintaining a good streak of form lately and is taken seriously finding this realistic assignment. MAXIMUM OFFERS (1) remains unexposed after just three fences outings. Was a 35L winner over course and distance here recently. Jumped well on that occasion which could prove a real asset. SMURFETTE (2) had to dig deep to win at Southwell two attempts ago. Showed considerable promise back there at the end of March and is worth plenty of thought. EDGEWELL (6) disappointed at Fontwell Park. Not ruled out on his form earlier in the Spring. Something for the Multiples: THE GYPSY DAVEY (5)

Having second run back today. First-up after three months favourite; won by 35 len this track on April 16 over 5000m defeating Jullou De Grissay carrying 75.5kg at $1.70 in a steeplechase. Previously second-up finished fourth of 8 runners at Taunton on November 27 over 4600m, 29 len behind Wicked Thoughts with 74kg at $2.90. Fitter and expected to go on with it.

Impressive in recent runs. Last outing won by 4.5 len Wincanton on April 12 over 5000m defeating Special John carrying 71kg at $3 in a steeplechase. Race before finished second in a small field at Exeter on April 7 over 4800m, 1.5 len behind Saint Cyr De Pail carrying 72.5kg at $3.80. Capable of better showing. Hard to beat.

Having second run back today. Not raced for 39 days. Fresh up after five months pulled up at Fontwell Park on March 27 over 3900m. Previously second-up won by a neck this track on April 10 2025 over 4190m defeating Gris Majeur with 72.5kg at $3.50 in a steeplechase. Happy to risk this time.

Useful gelding. Last outing finished fourth in a small field at Fontwell Park on April 24 over 5200m, 10 len behind Gold Clermont carrying 69kg at $4. Race before won by 2.25 len this track on April 6 over 5000m defeating Jukebox D'eddy with 73.5kg at $3.50 in a steeplechase. Unbeaten here so expected to do much better.
