Le Mercurey puts a question mark over Denman Chase form

>>Uttoxeter was only declared fit for racing after four inspections and it was gruelling stuff. None more so than in the 2m handicap chase, in which Master Jake was backed at 1.05 on Betfair when clear after two out. However, he soon started treading water and was worn down by Rock On Rocky, who was done at 1,000 (£23 traded).

>>I'm not reading too much into the Denman Chase at Newbury. It shaped like a training run, seemingly confirmed by the fact Le Mercurey, who is better over shorter, being backed at 2.66 when briefly travelling best in the home straight.

>>The first two home in the Betfair Hurdle are going to be worth following, even back up in class. Ballyandy finally came good to land a bit of a gamble, although Movewiththetimes, who was matched at even money, pushed him all the way.
