Jolly Boys Outing set to outpace Roi De Garde in Betfair Boost Prize Money At Towcester Handicap Chase
Jolly Boys Outing was pretty impressive in his appearance at Towcester in March. The 9-year-old is expected to repeat the show in the Betfair Boost Prize Money At Towcester Handicap Chase, scheduled to take place on Tuesday,
May 22nd.
After a few below par efforts, Jolly Boys Outing unchained the shackles in late March. The Towcester audience saw him seizing the top place in the Bet In Play At Ladbrokes Handicap Chase. It was a comprehensive win for Rosemary
Gasson’s trainee, who defeated Craiglands by 11 lengths.
After a convincing win at Towcester, the Mrs Rosemary Gasson-owned continued his good form at Exeter last month. Molson Coors Marathon Handicap Chase saw him securing the runner-up place behind Sea Saffron. He ran well enough
to make everyone believe that he can retain his good form.
Therefore, the bookmakers will not be reluctant to give him the highest starting price today. Among his opponents are: Roi De Garde, Like Ice, South O´the Border, Craiglands, Referent, Magical Treasure, Witch´s Hat, Or Sing
About, The Wee Midget, Kiama, Overton Lad and Ahwaak.
Roi De Garde is another major player. The 6-year-old performed poorly on his seasonal debut in mid February. After a lacklustre show, the bay gelding improved his work to a great extent, grabbing the runner-up place at Towcester.
In the Haygain Hay Steamers Clean Healthy Hay Handicap Chase, Chris Bealby’s trainee locked the spot by 17 lengths. He maintained the standards, when ran at Market Rasen earlier this month. Under Mr M T Stanley, the rampant
runner sealed the top position by staggering 25 lengths.
Like Ice has been consistent over the past couple of months, but needs plenty of luck to do well today. Similarly, Craiglands requires something different to upset the proceedings.
The stats suggest that there is going to be a hard battle between Jolly Boys Outing and Roi De Garde. The former gets our nod, because he has a better track record at Towcester. Let’s see who enjoys the party today. Good luck
to everyone.
