Uttoxeter Race 1 - F Ball Stick With It Chasing Excellence Beginners' Chase (Gbb Race)
COUNTRY MILE (1) brings valuable chasing experience into this race and ran well in defeat behind the same rival twice last season including contesting this very race twelve months ago. Now wears a hood and tongue strap combination and rates a major player. O'MOORE PARK (2) has left the Willie Mullins yard. Always threatened to be very good while expecting this to be a warm up for races at Cheltenham throughout the winter. Holds every chance to finally break his maiden over fences at the fourteenth attempt. THE GRAY GHOST (3) ran well in some good quality handicap hurdles last season however will be up against it here.
