Bennys Mist geared up for 4th win of the season
Since the outset of this season, Bennys Mist has been at the peak of form. He is passing through the best patch of his career these days. Considering the way he has made hat-trick of victories, most of the sport analysts believe that the Venetia Williams
trained bay gelding will be able to seal the ace title of the Blue Square Bet Handicap Chase that is set to go down at Sandown racecourse on Saturday, November 10.
The Class 3 race of £6,882 will be run over the distance of 3 miles and 110 yards with the surface being good to soft. A dozen of runners will compete in the playfield that is likely to be full of hostility.
The six-year-old veteran horse has proved his class on multiple occasions. Since the dawn of the calendar year, he has made some classy podium finishes including three triumphs along with a runner-up rank and a third.
The talented Irish gelding is awash with confidence at the moment. He will definitely prove to be a tough runner today.
The son of Beneficial out of Dark Mist started the season by finishing third in the BetVictor Non-Runner No Bet For Cheltenham Novices' Handicap Hurdle that went down at Hereford on March 5.
He went on to seal the runner-up spot in the Lindley Catering Handicap Hurdle of March 10. Bennys Mist broke his maiden with the title of the Higos Insurance Braunton Handicap Hurdle, held at Exeter on May 1.
The Mezzone Family owned gelding brilliantly won 32Red Novices' Handicap Hurdle on May 5. He beautifully completed his hat-trick by winning the Mary King Beginners' Chase on October 11.
In his last outing entitled as Richard Davis Memorial Handicap Chase, the skilled horse finished 5th against 13 competitors.
These stats are a clear evidence of Bennys Mist’s inherent racing capabilities. Despite this, he will have to face the wrath of Pensnett Bay who elegantly finished first in a race each on January 28 and February 26.
Since his last race of March 17, the Jo Hughes trained chestnut gelding has been out of action. He may make a strong comeback today.
Let us enjoy the rip-roaring spar between the two geldings. Good luck to them.
