John Rochford Memorial Handicap Chase (0-95)
2m 7f
Going: Good
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneRULE OF JUNE has run well in two recent handicap chases. A dual point-to-point winner earlier this year, she might be inconvenienced by testing ground but her recent form is good and while her rating has risen to 91, today's rider claims 7lb. Point-to-point winner Jetango is interesting on chase debut despite his best form being on quick ground. His Tramore runner-up run in August reads very well (the winner and third won subsequently) and were the ground to remain good, can get involved from his 90 rating. Four Country Roads won his first chase on his 19th start at Roscommon, beating Chief Seattle into third and is rated 6lb higher. Chief Seattle has run five times since Roscommon, continues in good form with his only previous win coming at today's venue last July. Four-time winner and front-runner Rudy Catrail was second to the selection at Tramore last month (with Different Strokes third) but was held subsequently at Kilbeggan.
