NOW BOB’S A BUILDER
REPRESENTING BOB (1.25) looks set to extend Jamie Snowden’s winning run in the Sky Bet Chase at Catterick.
Impressive on his fencing bow at Stratford, the gelding followed up in convincing style at Bangor in October.
The five-year-old is nicely unexposed so ought to strike again after a spin over timber at Chepstow.
BIT A SWEET SYMPHONY
(12.10) can call the tune for Sam
Allwood in the conditionals’ chase. The progressive gelding can shrug off a 9lb rise for decisively defeating Camp Belan at Bangor this month.
FEARLESS ACTION (12.45) should open his account over hurdles for Chris Grant.
The gelding can score with a repeat of his decent second to Donny Boy at Newcastle.
FINDTHETIME (2.0) is worth backing in the handicap hurdle with Nicky Richards hitting top gear. The gelding built on some fine efforts when chinning Fearless Action in a fair Sedgefield novice.
The five-year-old showed a willing attitude last month so stands to take advantage of a workable opening mark.
RED HAPPY (2.45) rates a typical David Pipe improver heading into the Silver Fox Chase at Leicester.
The four-year-old looks well treated after showing some strong form for Gab Leenders in France.
LEBOWSKI (3.20) ought to clinch a hat-trick for Michael Scudamore in the Bronze Fox Hurdle. The six-year-old bolted up at Ffos Las then disposed of Livelifetothemax at Ayr and can defy a welter burden on his handicap bow.
GENTLEMANSGAME (1.10) should make his class tell in the Pertemps Hurdle at Leopardstown. Mouse Morris’ grey is unexposed as a stayer after his fine second in a Punchestown Grade One.
KLASSICAL DREAM (1.45) can give Willie Mullins more Grade One joy in the Christmas Hurdle. The gelding relished three miles slamming James Du Berlais at Punchestown.
Mullins should double up in a chase debut for GALOPIN DES CHAMPS (2.55). And Henry de Bromhead’s star A PLUS TARD (2.20) can land the Grade One Savills Chase for the second year in a row.
