    Race Analysis

    Winner of this last year CALICO (5) rates a leading player in this grade having ended last season with a strong 4. 5L second tackling the 2m Red Rum Premier Handicap Chase at Aintree. Goes well tackling track and trip. Ticks plenty of boxes. Irish runner JASKO DES DAMES (7) recorded a solid fifth in the 2025 course and distance Grand Annual Premier Handicap Chase at the Festival here. Posted a promising second on return contesting a Listowel 2m2f handicap chase last month. Makes appeal. MATATA (1) finished a close runner-up in this event twelve months back and during April ran third attempting the 2m4f G1 Melling Chase at Aintree. Holds claims. BROOKIE (3) produced a smart 3. 5L second in the 2m G1 Maghull Novices Chase two runs ago. Interesting.
