Betway Challenger Staying Chase Series Final Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
3m 1f 125y
Going: Good (Good to Soft in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneChristian Williams looks to have a strong hand here with the consistent Strictlyadancer and Defuture Is Bright, who got the better of Smuggler's Blues (second) when scoring at Fakenham recently. The latter is one of two for Tom George in the race, with impressive Taunton winner Sumkindofking appealing most of his duo. Debece went close at Sandown on his first outing for Dan Skelton and is only 2lb higher here, while Checkitout made it back-to-back victories when successful at Ludlow last week and has to be taken seriously. However, the value may lie with TEA TIME ON MARS, who got the better of Checkitout at Bangor in November and was only beaten a neck in the Devon National last time. Splitting those efforts is a respectable fourth behind Crossley Tender at Exeter and Sue Gardner's nine-year-old is backed to just edge out the ultra-consistent Eider second now they rematch on revised terms.
