2023 Red Rum Handicap Chase Tips
Although Third Time Lucki only finished fourth last time out, it was a solid showing at the Cheltenham Festival in the Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Challenge Cup Handicap Chase. Out of nineteen runners, the Dan Skelton-trained charge produced a fine performance when finishing behind eventual winner Maskada along with favourite Dinoblue and Global Citizen.
Previously to this, the eight-year-old won a handicap chase at Sandown Racecourse, although this is definitely a race for the each-way punters. Red Rookie runs for trainer Emma Lavelle, with the horse successful at Warwick at the end of March when obliging under jockey Tom Bellamy over two miles on soft ground.
Calico has raced plenty of times this season and the latest victory came in early March when touching off Pay The Piper at Doncaster Racecourse. There was also some smart form at Warwick when finishing just five lengths behind Jonbon in a two-runner race and we have to respect that sort of pointer, although the handicapper has had his way.
Douglas Talking is a seven-year-old with genuine each-way claims, with wins occurring at Sandown and Ayr after a successful wind operation. In early March came a victory in a four-runner handicap chase where the horse produced a thirteen-length win and that came after a victory in Scotland which certainly gives punters food for thought.
