Southwell Race 1 - Gents Night Saturday 24th October Hcp Chase (Gbb Race)

LIMERICK LEADER (1) produced a solid effort finishing second at Kelso over 4300m two starts back. Improved again scoring a 5200m steeplechase at Newton Abbot fifteen days ago winning by 2.5L. Arrives in form and looks the one to beat. AXEL BLEUE (2) was impressive tackling 4600m at Worcester earlier this season before finishing fourth in a 4800m contest at Uttoxeter. Latest outing was below his best. Capable of bouncing back. MUMFORD'S MAGIC (3) finished sixth trying 4600m at Worcester when returning from a break last time. Tristan Durrell retains the ride and improvement is expected with that performance behind him.

Recent form hard to fault. Last run finished fourth of 7 runners at Uttoxeter on September 15 over 4800m, 16 len behind Mt Fugi Park with 68.5kg at $2.80. Race before favourite; won by a nose Worcester on August 23 over 4600m defeating Ras Kassar with 74.5kg at $3.50 in a steeplechase. Finds a very nice assignment today and can return to form.

Having second run back today. Not raced for 39 days. Fresh up after six months ran last in a small field at Worcester on September 4 over 4600m, 63 len behind Dexperts Opinion with 75kg at $9.50. Previously second-up won by 2.25 len Doncaster on February 5 over 4800m slow going defeating Kadjar Des Mottes with 75.5kg at $3.80 in a steeplechase. Definite chance. Holds ability to test the top fancies.
