Handicap Chase Tips

Our Handicap Chase tips will be added to the site as final declarations are in for the races.  Check out the race pages for all our tips.

We will have a tip for all races shown on ITV which we will send to all VIP members on the morning of the races.  If you are not yet a VIP member, please join VIP for free.

The benfit of a recent run combined with a low weight and aged between 7 and 9 appears to be the key here this gives us a shortlist of CAPTAIN DRAKE, KILFILUM CROSS and CLOTH CAP.

How did we do?

CAPTAIN DRAKE and CLOTH CAP were both declared to run.

Keith's Tip on the day:

CLOTH CAP 13:50 Cheltenham 9/1 each way – Well handicapped, stays forever and handles soft / heavy going. What more could you want.

CLOTH CAP was declared a non-runner before they went to post.

CAPTAIN DRAKE didn't handle the desparate going and pulled up when well beaten 3 out.
