ALPHA CAPTURE looked unlucky not to double his tally for 2026 when runner-up in a Chester claimer last time and can make amends off a lenient-looking mark now back in handicap company. Bell Shot took this contest in 2024 and is feared most on the back of a good Pontefract second, although in-form duo Tattie Bogle and Homestrait can also play a prominent role in this competitive handicap.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Of those forecasted with a better chance, Bell Shot could be most vulnerable in a race in which competition for the lead looks to be fierce: Such a hotly-contested pace as is on the cards here may be to the benefit of Alpha Capture who is likely to make a challenge late.
Individual Price Hint: Intervention has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
