Uttoxeter Race 4 - Sheila And Wayne Golden Wedding Anniversary Hcp Chase (Gbb Race)

SUNRAY SHADOW (4) has been one of many success stories for the yard this summer. Gained yet another triumph here two weeks ago in style scoring by 4L and almost impossible to oppose whilst in this condition. The one to beat. GRAND CLERMONT (3) maintains a fine fences record. Produced a personal best when winning at Perth by 6.5L. More needed now raised in weights however is a danger. BAGHEERA GINGE (5) gained a success in two of his last three outings including at Stratford most recently. One to consider. SURE TOUCH (1) faces a tough task off this weight. Holds ability to be in the mix and is noted.

Last start finished third in a small field at this track on July 15 over 4800m, 11 len behind Sunray Shadow with 74.5kg at $13. Before that ran last in a small field at this track on June 28 over 4000m, 60 len behind Tamarind Bay carrying 74.5kg at $8.50. Wouldn't think he will turn that around in this.

Useful gelding. Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 3 len Perth on July 2 over 4800m defeating Twp Stori carrying 76kg at $2.30 in a steeplechase. Before that finished second of 11 runners at Worcester on June 6 over 4600m, 8 len behind Gata Ban with 76kg at $5.50. Gets a chance to win. No surprise to see him in the finish again.
