Ascot Underwriting Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Fyffe, Walkingshaw & Russell
Dual hurdles winner in 2024/25. Very lightly raced since but bounced back with his sights lowered after 4 months off when landing 4-runner handicap chase at Market Rasen (21f) 5 weeks ago. Beat a next-time-out winner then and he's of interest with best chase form having come in small fields.

Mere Racing
Showed improved form in handicap hurdles last season, winning at Ascot in December and Haydock in April. Another good effort when third in the Swinton at Haydock (has had breathing operation since) and he's interesting upped in trip on chase debut for yard firmly amongst the winners.

Anne-marie & Jamie Shepperd
Useful 6-y-o who proved well suited by the step up in trip when ending last season with success in handicap hurdle here (2¾m) in March. Shaped as if better for the run after 6 months off when ninth in Silver Trophy at Chepstow (19.5f) 21 days ago and very much the type to make his mark over fences.

The Menzies Family
Doubled his hurdles tally at Newcastle in February and made the frame both starts during the spring. After 6 months off, made an encouraging chasing debut when second of 3 in maiden at Uttoxeter 4 weeks ago (next-time-out winner behind). Open to improvement with that under his belt.

Mrs Nicola Bulgin
Without a win over hurdles but different proposition over fences, supplementing her Worcester debut victory in clear-cut fashion at Fontwell (2¼m) in August. Ran another solid race from career-high mark when third at first-named venue latest but more on her plate from 3 lb out of weights here.
