Sun Racing Summer Jumps Championship Handicap Chase (ARC Summer Chase Series Qualifier)
Prediction Leader
Alshadhian (IRE)
0%
Won this race by 13l a year ago and was still in good form when last seen last summer/autumn; has fitness to prove after eight-month absence, though, and current mark probably demands a career-best performance.
Rest of field
Catchim (IRE)
0%
Front-runner who was left clear just after final fence to score at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) in April, opening his chase account at the 12th attempt, but needs to bounce back quickly from a poor run there 12 days ago.
Electric Eddy (GB)
0%
Kept on well for second on chase debut at Hereford (2m, good) in November but was pulled up on next outing and made low-key reappearance when third of five (probably only fourth best on merit) at Worcester (2m, good) last month; needs to up his game here.
Beorma (IRE)
0%
Fast-improving mare who won easily on chasing debut at Worcester (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) 12 days ago and has quickly added two easy hurdle wins (2m4f/2m, good) to her tally; probably still a long way ahead of the handicapper and can continue her winning spree here.
Kill The Groove (IRE)
0%
Now 9lb lower than when going close over hurdles at Plumpton (2m, soft) in January but was safely held in both chases this spring (2m3f/2m), and cheekpieces didn't appear to help much when used once previously.
Fond Farewell (IRE)
0%
Won a low-grade Flat handicap in Ireland in 2023 but unplaced all six hurdle runs for current stable; not beaten far when fifth of six at Worcester (2m, good) recently but not bred for chasing; others are much safer.
Walk The Plank (IRE)
0%
Battled well for narrow success at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March, his third chase start, and gave another good account before fading into fourth at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) 12 days ago; might collect a minor prize.
