Bangor On Dee Race 4 - Wrexham Lager 'Chasing Excellence' Novices' Chase (Gbb Race)

MIRABAD (1) is markedly down in grade. Representing a leading jockey and trainer combination placed second in the G2 Kingmaker Novices Chase at Warwick on most recent appearance. Could go one better. TITAN DISCOVERY (3) secured a good 0.5L victory contesting a 4800m handicap hurdle at Cheltenham during December before pulling up on most recent appearance in the Heroes Premier Handicap Hurdle at Sandown Park. May return to winning ways. LEADING CHOICE (2) finished last of three on chasing debut providing first start in more than thirteen months attempting a Newbury beginners chase eight days ago. Improvement expected.

Useful gelding. Last start finished second in a small field at Warwick in the G2 Kingmaker Novices' Chase on February 7 over 3250m, in the wet; 10 len behind Steel Ally carrying 71kg at $8. The start before that; didn't finish the race at Windsor on January 18 over 3200m. Another bold showing likely.

Useful type. Last outing pulled up at Sandown Park on January 31 over 4700m. The start before that; came from midfield and won by 0.5 len Cheltenham on December 12 over 4800m defeating Lihyan carrying 72kg at $8.50 in a hurdle. Capable enough and comes into calculations.
