Huntingdon Race 2 - Virgin Bet Daily Extra Places Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

PEP TALKING (4) is racing consistently with two wins and three runner-up finishes last six starts including winning by an impressive 10L contesting a Chepstow handicap chase. Leading contender. WILLIAM CODY (1) looks to turn five consecutive placed efforts into a win including losing out narrowly by a neck finishing runner-up at Wetherby. Holds winning course and distance form. May go one better. ICE IN THE VEINS (3) disappointed on latest outing in the Challenger Two Mile Hurdle Series Final Handicap Hurdle (Series Final) at Haydock Park. Interesting down in grade. BIG BOY BARNEY (6) cannot be discounted bringing winning track and trip form.
