Ascot Race 4

Betfair Swinley Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $184,501

JOYEUX MACHIN (6) fell when tackling 4800m at Doncaster last start after a close fourth over the same distance two runs back. Can bounce back if jumping holds together. Leading claims. JIPCOT (5) resumed with a 4500m chase win at Leicester under Kielan Woods. Second up record reads well and another big performance is likely. In the mix. NOCTE VOLATUS (4) bids for a hat trick after wins at Warwick then Sandown Park by 1.3L last time. In form and warrants respect again. Worth giving serious consideration. MONTREGARD (9) was pulled up at Kempton Park two runs ago then improved when 2.25L second tackling track and trip most recently. Hard to fault on that and may go close. Worth including.

Resumes from a spell after having raced just once last campaign on from midfield; finished sixth of 10 runners at Cheltenham on November 16 over 5500m, on slow going 15 len behind Marble Sands with 68.5kg at $17. When resuming last campaign finished third in a small field at Wetherby in the G2 Charlie Hall Chase on November 2 2024 over 4800m, 5 len behind The Real Whacker with 71.5kg at $26. This looks a tough line-up.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming ran on from midfield; finished fourth of 7 starters at Wincanton on November 8 over 5000m, 26 len behind Gustavian carrying 76kg at $5.50. Second run from a spell pulled up at this track on December 20 over 4800m. Gets a chance to win. Worth another chance and looks a top-three hope.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up ran last in a small field at this track on November 21 over 4200m, 21 len behind Neon Moon carrying 76kg at $3.30. Second-up made ground from midfield; finished second in a small field at Kempton Park on January 10 over 4800m, a neck behind The Doyen Chief carrying 74kg at $8.50. Go close. Likely to play a major role.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up finished third of 9 starters at Ayr on January 2 over 4100m, on slow going 6 len behind Milcree carrying 73kg at $7. Last to post a big 10 len win. Leicester on January 20 over 4500m defeating No Tackle with 75.5kg at $4 in a steeplechase. Fitter now and making headway every start. Looks very hard to beat in this sort of form.

Last run fell at Doncaster on January 24 over 4800m. Run before ran on from midfield; finished fourth of 7 starters at Doncaster on December 13 over 4800m, 5 len behind Docpickedme with 73kg at $5. Looks very hard to beat.

Race before finished fourth of 12 starters at this track on November 22 over 5900m, 16 len behind Rock My Way with 71.5kg at $26. This looks too tough.

Useful gelding. Last start finished third of 14 starters at Lingfield on January 19 over 5800m, slow track; 12 len behind Aworkinprogress with 71.5kg at $11. Race before finished fourth in a small field at Sandown Park on December 6 over 5700m, 11 len behind O'connell with 69kg at $7. Certainly worth another chance in this suitable contest.

Second-up today. First-up after 11 months finished eighth of 10 starters at Windsor on January 16 over 4400m, slow track; 53 len behind Officer Of State carrying 75.5kg at $12. Previously second-up finished tenth of 18 runners at Cheltenham on March 11 over 6000m, 57 len behind Haiti Couleurs carrying 70kg at $12. Plenty of improvement needed.
