Bangor On Dee Race 7 - Tom Jones Live At Chester Racecourse Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

CASUAL OBSERVER (5) provides first appearance in more than a year. Last seen winning by 3L a 4000m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las. Interesting making chase debut following an elongated break. KYKOROCK (4) is starting to race consistently with two wins and two placed efforts last four outings including when placing third contesting a Haydock Park handicap chase last month. Will be thereabouts. BOWENSPARK (3) placed second in a Southwell handicap chase prior to finishing fifth in a 4000m Haydock Park handicap Chase. Can bounce back. GALOP DE CHASSE (1) needs to improve on a last-start fifth at Chepstow. Something for the Multiples: OSTEND (2)
