Coral Pendil Novices’ Chase: Boothill and Datsalrightgino meet again

Boothill leads the Coral Pendil Novices Chase betting ahead of Datsalrightgino as they meet again at Kempton on Saturday.

Datsalrightgino suffered a narrow defeat at the hands of Boothill at Newton Abbot and the betting suggests the same result again, with Boothill the 13/8 favourite while Datsalrightgino is 5/2.

Jamie Snowden’s seven-year-old enjoyed the step up in trip when second to Stage Star on Festival Trials day and receives 5lb from Harry Fry’s Wayward Lad winner as they rematch over a longer distance.

“He’s a smashing horse who has progressed all season,” said Snowden.

“He did well to win over two miles but has improved for going up to two and a half as you saw the last day when he chased home Stage Star at Cheltenham – that was a good performance.

“Obviously he reopposes Boothill, who he took on at Newton Abbot earlier in the season and Boothill now has a 5lb penalty for winning the Grade Two over Christmas.
