Paddy Power Chase (Extended Handicap Chase) (0-150) (Grade B)
3m
Going: Yielding to Soft
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneAlfa Mix has been well backed in the lead up to this valuable and highly-competitive event. The six-year-old looks to have strong claims having finished well when just denied by Fully Charged at Punchestown last month and is now fitted with cheekpieces. However, the same connections of JP McManus and Gavin Cromwell may have the answer with a better value alternative in the shape of ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN, who has won over close to this trip and was let down by a few mistakes at Gowran Park last time. The son of Yeats has only run in a couple of handicap chases and has scope for further improvement at three miles. The Bosses Oscar and Cork National winner Braeside head a strong challenge by Gordon Elliott, while the Joseph O'Brien-trained pair of A Wave Of The Sea and Top Moon were both placed in the Munster National at Limerick. Le Musigny is totally unexposed at the trip.
