2024 Rowland Meyrick Handicap Chase Betting Odds at Wetherby racecourse

2024 Rowland Meyrick Chase Tips

There are two seven-year-olds heading the betting for the Rowland Meyrick Handicap Chase at Wetherby on Boxing Day, with Cruz Control the favourite to win an encounter over three miles. It’s been a tricky start to the season for a horse who opened with a fourth-placed finish out of twelve runners at Punchestown back in April.

The horse also fell short when finishing seventh out of nine runners at Aintree at the end of October, although the runner has previously been successful at the Merseyside course back in April and there was also a success at Newcastle in March. Some might feel that there are bigger-priced alternatives worth backing instead.

Tahmuras runs for Paul Nicholls and it was an underwhelming performance at Haydock when finishing fifth out of six runners, with the horse finishing well off the pace in the Betfair Exchange Graduation Chase. Last Boxing Day, there was an impressive win at Aintree and perhaps another festive success could be on the cards.

Fontaines Collonges runs for Venetia Williams and was in the winners’ enclosure in his previous encounter, with the nine-year-old scoring at Haydock Park back in November. It was an impressive twelve-length success over three miles, one and a half furlong. A repeat of that performance could be enough to land the spoils and he looks a good each-way wager.
