Thatchers Handicap Chase
Tuesday, 23 June 2026
Markedly slow — usually heavy ground or an attritional race.
“Raced prominently - poor jump 6th - pushed and went to the front 3 out - asserted 2 out - clean jump at last - margin trimmed towards the finish but comfortably holding rivals”

No — the AI top pick (Jetty May) finished PU.
Top finishers: 1. Edgewell (IRE) (10.00), 2. Honey I'm Good (IRE) (9.00), 3. Benny Baloo (GB) (9.50).
The winning time was 6m 42.07s, 21.07s slower than standard.
Jetty May won over hurdles at Newton Abbot from a lower mark and, while well beaten when tried at a longer trip last time on the same mark, comes back to a more suitable distance in first-time cheekpieces; the course-and-distance form is a key asset. Edgewell is the most likely danger, having won off a higher mark than today and now back to a workable level, though he races lazily and needs careful placing. Hatos would likely have won but for a fall last time and remains a live threat if he completes the course, while Honey I'm Good is better suited by fences. Jetty May is our selection.
