1.00pm Bangor – Yorton Mares’ Novices’ Chase
Eight mares go to post for this Listed novices’ chase over 2m1f 77y on Good ground. All eight carry 11st 2lb, and Jubilee Alpha and Sunset Marquesa both make their chase debuts. Four of the field return from breaks of 235 days or more.
- Ratings: Jubilee Alpha tops the field on an official rating of 137. Sunset Marquesa (129), Piper Park (128) and Siog Geal (127) come next. Merely A Detail is the lowest rated on 114, so there is a 23lb spread at level weights.
- Winning run: Mighty Fleur (form 2-1111) won by 8 lengths at Worcester last time. That completed a four-timer and made her chase record 2-3. Onefournine also won last time, on her hurdles reappearance, which took her overall record to 3-6.
- Chase debut: Jubilee Alpha is a dual Listed winner over hurdles for Paul Nicholls. She now runs for Faye Bramley and has not been seen for 243 days.
- In-form riders: Harry Skelton is 22/57 (39%) in the last 14 days and rides Getawhisky, who was a beaten favourite last time. Sean Bowen (14/57, 25%) rides Mighty Fleur.
- Hot trainer: Tom Lacey is 4/15 (27%) in the last 14 days and runs Piper Park, who has been off for 243 days.

Verdict
Having been a dual Listed winner over hurdles for Paul Nicholls, JUBILEE ALPHA holds leading claims switched to fences on her debut for Faye Bramley. Siog Geal (second pick) looks solid and Onefournine adds interest, while Mighty Fleur and Piper Park bring the best chase form.[Steve Boow]

Verdict
Stride On appeals as one who should make up into a useful chaser this season but his peak fitness has to be taken on trust and perhaps this is the day that JERIKO DU REPONET, who holds the other runner Welonlyhavedone on recent Hexham form, comes good over fences. [Andrew Sheret]

Betting Forecast
7/2 Arcturus Flame, 7/2 Dylans Moon, 4/1 Kefir DOudairies, 12/1 Orchard County, 6/4 Largy Force
Verdict
After a highly successful first campaign for Olly Murphy, the 8yo mare LARGY FORCE will be hard to beat if she produces anything remotely near that chase form. This is an interesting, different assignment for fairly useful Flat performer Arcturus Flame, but Dylans Moon is feared more given the promise he showed last season. Three of these, including the selection, have had wind surgery since their latest starts.[Richard Austen]

Verdict
Gavin Cromwell’s horses are flying and he has two with live chances here in Marcescence and Jade Fox but the vote goes to SONIC SABIHA (nap) who was narrowly denied over C&D on her penultimate start and this looks easier than the maiden she contested last time. Sake Nights and Direct Action are open to improvement and Chicago Caray could sneak a place if the blinkers eke out more. [Dave Stephens]
