Back with a winner

After taking  a summer break from the chasing scene ,it was good to be back jumping yesterday.We advised just the one bet on the day Persian Gates in the 0-110 h'cap chase.Having pulled his way to the front with a circuit to go,he made light of the opposition winning with ease.It's likely the handicapper will react by raising him in the region of 10lb,however that may not be enough to stop him following up judged on yesterday's performance.From the first fence down the back,to the final fence ,Persian Gates was only 2.5 secs slower than Benny be Good ,who won the feature race off a mark of 143.Bearing in mind Persian Gates appeared not to be fully extended i've given him a provisional rating of 120-125.     Benny Be Good won the competitive 50k handicap,he'd impressed when winning back to back races at Sedgefield,and was given a favourable mention on our line from a handicapping point of view,however i was somewhat put off having watched his one previous try on a right handed track,when at Carlisle he jumped badly left handed.Yesterday he showed only a slight tendency to jump left,which didnt stop him landing the valuable prize.
