Hereford Race 5 - Fairplaybet.co.uk Bet 20 Get 20 Free Novices' Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

BECTIVE ABBEY (1) is racing consistently with one win and three runner-up finishes past five starts including placing second in a Kempton Park handicap chase during December. May go one better. GRIS MAJEUR (5) is also consistent. Gained one win and three placings past four attempts including placing third on most recent appearance contesting a Taunton handicap chase during November. Interesting following a break. GOLAN LOOP (2) was an impressive 4.5L course and distance winner before pulling up at Wincanton. Might bounce back. MOUNTAIN MIKE (3) cannot be discounted after a third at Exeter last time out. Something for the Multiples: I PLAY COUNTY (6)

Comes off a 51 day let-up. Last outing pulled up at Wincanton on January 15 over 5000m. The start before that; favourite; came from midfield to post a big 4.5 len win. This track on December 10 over 5040m defeating Captain Boudet carrying 74kg at $2 in a steeplechase. Deserves another chance and he is among the better hopes.
