Accumulus
Despite the fact that Flying Award is yet to register his first win this year, the bookies are rating him highly. His latest performance was quite impressive, as he finished second in Braceys The Friendly Builders Merchant Novices' Handicap
Chase at Ffos Las.
Following the recent good performance, his fans have pinned up a lot of hopes on him. Although there are many strong contenders in the line-up, Flying Award looks in good position to dominate the proceedings.
Sarika is also likely to display a fine show on Monday afternoon. The six-year-old sealed third place in the Bathwick Tyres Midsomer Norton Novices' Limited Handicap Chase, held at Wincanton last month.
Without a doubt, it was an ordinary show by Nick Williams’ trainee, but that does not take anything away from him. The French gelding demonstrated a fantastic show at the dawn of this year, seizing first position in the Bathwick Tyres Taunton Handicap Chase
at Exeter.
Another participant who has decent chances of thriving is Deep Pockets. Considering his wonderful track record at the venue, the punters are showing keen interest in the 13-year-old horse. The veteran’s previous two outings were not impressive
at all, but his defeats seem not to have changed the bookmakers’ views about him.
Ballinhassig cannot be taken lightly as he is stepping into this clash after a classy win. The seven-year-old will be full of high spirits after an excellent performance.
Final Prediction
Flying Award is likely to enjoy the highest odds for this high status race. However, he cannot take anything for granted, as
Sarika and Deep Pockets will take a real test of his abilities. Turbulance and Ballinhassig might come up with a surprise, but their chances to upset the favourites are not bright.
