Wincanton Race 5 - Unibet Middle Distance Veterans' Handicap Chase
Feature race on the card. NOCTE VOLATUS (2) holds strong form this season with a narrow victory in a similar level 3800m handicap chase at Chepstow preceding a runner-up effort tackling a higher graded 4200m Ascot handicap chase during November. Leading chance. QUEL DESTIN (1) proved a smart performer over the years including being a former G2 hurdle winner. Worth a market check. STORMY FLIGHT (5) out-ran odds a month ago managing a neck second in a 3800m Exeter handicap chase. Holds claims. RED ROOKIE (6) might place.

Having second run back today. First-up after eight months pulled up at Exeter 4yo+ HCP CHSE (C3) on December 6 over 3850m. Previously to post a big 6 len win. Fontwell Park 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C3) on December 12 2023 over 4300m in the wet defeating Zhiguli carrying 73.5kg at $2.10 in a steeplechase. Forgive first-up failure. Expected to go close this time.
