Swift Chap lives up to his name

New members enjoying a week of free horse racing tips collected on a 11/1 winner yesterday at Wincanton as Swift Chap came home in the handicap hurdle over two and a half miles.

Darren O´Dwyer, assistant to Philip Hobbs, said,

The step up in trip has helped Swift Chap. He wouldn´t want the ground heavy and may have a break over the winter.

The race was a modest but competitive start to the meeting. The pace looked sound. Swift Chap finished in front of Calico Rose last time (extended 2 miles at Chepstow) when cheek-pieces were refitted, but was unproven at this distance and was weak in the market. However, he got himself into contention despite needing to be pushed along and ground out a pleasing success.
