BoyleSports Becher Handicap Chase Betting Favourites
King Turgeon
Odds
The favourite for the 2024 BoyleSports Becher Handicap Chase is King Turgeon at odds of 4/1 for trainer David Pipe and owner Somerset Racing.
Form
The 6-year-old gelding is the more lightly raced of the two favourites with 18 races on the track. The horse is similarly consistent though with 4 victories, 5 runner-up finishes and 1 third-place result from the 18 races.
The horse most recently ran in the Aintree Grand National where it ran over the 2-mile and 5-furlong trip, beating 12 other horses including runner-up Vintage Fizz by 3.25 lengths to win its second successive race since returning from Wind Surgery last August.
Verdict
King Turgeon got the better of Gaboriot last time out though the trip for this race will be longer at odds of 4/1 he remains a value bet to win the BoyleSports Becher Handicap Chase.
Gaboriot
Odds
The 9/2 second favourite to win the BoyleSports Becher Chase is Gaboriot for trainers Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero and owner G C Myddelton.
Form
The 8-year-old gelding has a consistent career record of 10 wins, 6 runner-up finishes and 4 third places from 31 races. Most recently the horse ran in the Aintree Grand National last month where it finished third and 4.25 lengths back of winner King Turgeon.
Verdict
Gaboriot last time out was returning from a 164-day break from the track and could come on further from that run. Before that break the horse had won two successive races and a return to similar form could have Gaboriot going close in this race.
Chianti Classico
Odds
The third favourite to land the BoyleSports Becher Handicap Chase is Chianti Classico for trainer Kim Bailey and owners Sir Francis Brooke & R A Pilkington at odds of 5/1.
Form
The 7-year-old gelding is another one who has a consistent career record with 8 wins and 2 runner-up finishes from 13 races. The horse most recently ran at Ascot earlier this month over the 3-mile distance and after 204 days break from the track he came 3 lengths clear of second placed Highstakesplayer.
Verdict
Another very likely winner in this race if running at best form.
Iron Bridge
Odds
Slightly further out in the betting is Iron Bridge who is priced at 8/1 this time for the well-known partnership of trainers Jonjo & A J O'Neill and owner Hemmings Racing.
Form
The 8-year-old gelding has a career record of 5 victories, 3 runner-up finishes and 2 third-place runs from just 14 races on the track. The horse most recently ran at Carlisle last November where it finished third in a 10-horse field coming 4 lengths back of winner Val Dancer.
Verdict
Last time out was the horse's first outing in 197 days, but it will need to find several lengths if going to trouble those at the top of the market in this race.
Cruz Control
Odds
Cruz Control is priced at 13/2 for the BoyleSports Becher Handicap Chase for trainer Tim Lacey and owners F Green And J Chinn.
Form
The 7-year-old gelding has a career record of 6 victories and 4 runner-up finishes from 17 excursions on the track. The horse most recently ran at Aintree last October where the horse finished a disappointing 7th out of 9 horses 27 lengths back of winner Kamsinas.
Verdict
The horse’s last run was disappointing though it was returning from a 176-day break, the horse has ability but this race might be a bridge too far on current form.
