Uttoxeter Race 4 - Sheila And Wayne Golden Wedding Anniversary Hcp Chase (Gbb Race)

SUNRAY SHADOW (4) Made no mistakes when winning by 4L last start in a chase at Uttoxeter. Going well this campaign. Added confidence with Harry Skelton doing the steering. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. GRAND CLERMONT (3) Shot clear to win by a margin of nearly 7L last start in a chase at Perth. Jockey Rian Corcoran and trainer David Pipe must be respected as a team. Goes close. THE FLYING POET (9) Shot clear to win by 3L last run in a chase at Perth and gets a reduction in weight. Sean Bowen and Olly Murphy deserve serious attention as a team. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. IMPERIAL ALEX (7) Really dug deep when winning by 1/2L last run in a chase at Uttoxeter. Made it 2 wins in succession. One to watch and an each way chance.

Worked hard to place 3rd last start in a hurdle at Worcester. Will be trying to topple them late. Tom Hutsby provides some weight relief. Some hope in this event.

Found another gear when winning by a margin of almost 7L last start in a chase at Perth. Jockey Rian Corcoran and trainer David Pipe are consistently competitive together. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

On a short back up. Jumped at $34.00 and finished 7th last run in a chase at Market Rasen. Shows good early pace. In top racing shape this preparation. Peak required to upset this field.

Had a comfortable win by 3L last run in a chase at Perth and goes down in weight. Sean Bowen and Olly Murphy deserve serious attention when combined. Strong claims in this.
