2023 Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase Tips
Petticoat Lucy was sent off as the 11/4 favourite to win a handicap chase at Exeter towards the end of October, with the horse duly obliging by two lengths in this two mile, three furlong encounter. This came after previously succeeding at Newton Abbot when achieving a bigger margin of victory over two miles and five furlongs.
Plenty Of Time was also successful last time out, with the Syd Hosie-trained runner bidding to complete a double in this race. Sent off at odds of 12/1 in the Challenger Mares' Novices' Handicap Chase, the horse was able to win by two and a half lengths over two miles and four furlongs, with more potentially to come from this charge.
Huelgoat hasn’t been in the winners’ enclosure over the past few races although there was a respectable fourth-placed finish in a big handicap at Worcester towards the end of September. Paul Nicholls trains a runner who has enjoyed a spate of experience although the wins have been few and far between.
Volkovka could be an interesting runner and hasn’t been seen at a track since running at Ludlow in early April. A second-placed finish in a Mares’ Handicap Chase stands the horse in good stead, although Another Crick is another viable contender and much depends on whether the ten-year-old can defy a massive weight allowance.
