Evan Williams’ veteran gelding, Tempting Paradise, is expected to grab a fabulous victory at Leicester racecourse on Tuesday, February 28. He is among the six horses who are geared up to participate in Captain Machell Handicap Chase.
The Class 4 contest of 2m distance has big prize money worth of £3,249. Tempting Paradise’s competitors include Coolbeg, Le Reveur, Somewhatinevitable, Kercabellec and Western Pride.
As the race is just a few hours away, we present here a betting preview highlighting those runners who have higher chances to thrive along with Tempting Paradise.
Tempting Paradise
The 31-race experienced runner has won 4 out of his total 31 starts so far. He started his career in March 2006. The gelding’s last victory came in April 2010. Since then, he has been struggling hard for success which is likely to come in today’s contest.
The nine-year-old runner is returning to action today after a gap of almost six months. He last race in August 2011 and finished 4th.
Tempting Paradise is ready to show a big run at Leicester. His chances to win are as high as 85 percent.
Kercabellec
Since his a couple of consecutive victories during March 2011, John Cornwall’s gelding has been failing badly. During this period, he has got pulled out for two times in a row.
The J R Cornwall-owned runner finished 6th at Leicester track on January 10, 2012. As a whole, the veteran gelding has 8 triumphs to his credit.
In today’s competition, Kercabellec is likely to run well and grab at least second spot.
Coolbeg
Since making his debut in November 2010, Tom George’s black gelding has been winless to date. He has run for seven times totally. In his last outing on November 26, 2011, the six-year-old finished sixth.
The gelding is supposed to run confidently today and get at least third position in the competition.
Conclusion
None of the other three hounds possesses enough talent and stamina. Thus, the Handicap Chase will be a clash among the favourites. Let us see who gets what. Good luck to all the runners.
