4:50 Fri 17 Mar MRS PADDY POWER MARES CHASE Distance: 20f 127y Age: 5yo + Prize: £120,000 Going: Gd/Sft
A fascinating clash between 2 young chasers who could be very smart. IMPERVIOUS really impressed when claiming the scalp of Journey With Me at Punchestown in January and is narrowly preferred to Allegorie de Vassy, who has been a very easy winner of her 2 starts over fences. Jeremys Flame looks best of the rest. |

1. ALLEGORIE DE VASSY (FR) J: P. Townend T: W. P. Mullins, Ireland |
6 11-5 |
|
|
|
|
|||||
| Arrives unbeaten in 4 starts since joining Willie Mullins, bolting up in Grade 2 mares' novice chases at Limerick and Thurles this winter. Her tendency to jump right at the latter track is a slight concern now switching to a left-handed course but she's a hugely exciting prospect. | |||||

|
2. ELIMAY (FR) J: L. P. Dempsey T: W. P. Mullins, Ireland |
9 11-5 |
|
|
|
|
|||||
| Edged out Pink Legend to win this race last year but her 2 runs this winter have been underwhelming. No big surprise were she to revive in first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) but Allegorie de Vassy has to be considered the stable number one. | |||||
3 |
|
3. IMPERVIOUS (IRE) J: B. Hayes T: Colm A. Murphy, Ireland |
7 11-5 |
|
|
|
|
|||||
| 3-3 over fences, taking her form up another notch stepping up to 2½m for the first time in this discipline when proving ½ length too strong for Journey With Me (won since) in Punchestown Grade 3 last time. Likely there's even more to come. Leading claims. | |||||
4 |
|
4. RIVIERE D'ETEL (FR) J: Jordan Colin Gainford T: Gordon Elliott, Ireland |
6 11-5 |
|
|
|
|
|||||
| Smart chaser who won her first 3 outings over fences last season. Respectable reappearance fourth at Navan in November but ran poorly when a remote last of 4 in a Carlisle listed event a fortnight later. Given a break since. | |||||
5 |
|
5. DOLCITA (FR) J: D. E. Mullins T: W. P. Mullins, Ireland |
8 11-2 |
|
|
|
|
|||||
| Bounced back to best to win 9-runner listed chase at Clonmel (20.5f, heavy) in November. Very good 4¾ lengths second of 5 to Scarlet And Dove in Grade 3 at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day but even that leaves her with a bit to find here. | |||||
6 |
|
6. JEREMYS FLAME (IRE) J: Keith Donoghue T: Gavin Patrick Cromwell, Ireland |
9 11-2 |
|
|
|
|
|||||
| Improved performer this season, making it 3 wins in last 4 starts when seeing off the reopposing Zambella by 6½ lengths in 2½m Huntingdon listed chase 7 weeks ago. That form doesn't leave her too much to find with market leaders here. | |||||
7 |
|
7. MAGIC DAZE (IRE) J: Rachael Blackmore T: Henry de Bromhead, Ireland |
7 11-2 |
|
|
|
|
|||||
| Showed a really good attitude when posting a smart effort to win a 2m Naas listed event last month, forcing pace and finding extra when tackled after 2 out. Stamina isn't assured stepping back up in trip. | |||||
8 |
|
8. PINK LEGEND J: Charlie Deutsch T: Venetia Williams |
9 11-2 |
|
|
|
|
|||||
| Beaten ½ length by Elimay in this 12 months go. A 3m Exeter listed win last month shows she arrives in good form again but it looks a stronger race this year. | |||||
9 |
|
9. ZAMBELLA (FR) J: Daryl Jacob T: Nigel Twiston-Davies |
8 11-2 |
|
|
|
|
|||||
| Has bagged listed chases at Carlisle and Doncaster this winter but Jeremy's Flame proved too strong for her at Huntingdon last time. Fourth in this last year and suspicion she'll find a few too good again. | |||||
|
Betting Forecast : 5/4 1.25 ALLEGORIE DE VASSY, 9/4 2.25 IMPERVIOUS, 8/1 8 JEREMYS FLAME, 16/1 16 MAGIC DAZE, 28/1 28 ZAMBELLA, 28/1 28 RIVIERE D'etel, 33/1 33 ELIMAY, 40/1 40 DOLCITA, 50/1 50 PINK LEGEND |
