Whizzaar likely to strike victory in Royal Devon Yeomanry Open Hunters´ Chase at Taunton
Whizzaar is geared up to display another fascinating performance at Taunton on Monday, March 12, 2012. R. M. Woollacott’s trainee will be seen in the Royal Devon Yeomanry Open Hunters´ Chase, scheduled to commence at 16:50 (GMT).
The 2m7f110y event has attracted six quality runners. Their names are: Whizzaar, King Cyrus, Armoury House, Novi Sad, Henri Prends Garde and Petitjean.
The going is good for the class-6 meeting, which holds a winning prize worth £1,976. Bettor.com presents an exclusive preview in order to help those interested in betting.
Whizzaar will be tough to beat in today’s race. The 12-year-old is making his seasonal return after staying out of action for more than a year.
He made his last outing in March last year, sealing top place in the Richard Williams Memorial Hunters' Chase at Taunton.
So far in his career, the veteran gelding has registered four Chase victories. The bookmakers are also acknowledging his talent, giving him the highest odds for today’s crucial race.
The champion sprinter is likely to be given a hard time by King Cyrus. The 10-year-old is also returning after a long break, as he made his last trip in May 2011.
He was a bit rusty in his previous race, finishing fourth on the table. However, nobody can take anything away from him.
Ms Emma Oliver’s trainee will be determined to resume his journey on a winning note. Although it will not be a straightforward outing for him, one cannot overlook his chances at any cost.
Another gelding with fair chances of winning is Armoury House. The 11-year-old will be back in action after a gap of more than 10 months.
In his last two races, the gelding performed decently, sealing second and first position respectively. His last triumph came at Taunton, where he outplayed his rivals in the Ronnie Wallace Hunters' Chase in April last year.
Prediction
With most of the contestants making a return, it is very difficult to make a prediction. Whizzaar is in strong position to display a thumping performance.
However, he cannot take anything for granted, as King Cyrus and Armoury House will fancy their chances.
