The Helmsley Novices' Handicap Chase at Wetherby today looks a fiercely-competitive affair, in which chances can be given to all five contenders. However, this should not deter punters, and Foundry Lane is the one to have in your corner.
Mary Reveley's useful stayer has been a reliable servant on the Flat for some time and has looked an exciting recruit to the chasing game this season. He finally broke his duck over fences at Wetherby last time out, hammering Independent Grey by 15 lengths.
Since joining the Reveley stable last year, Jowoody has shown dramatic improvement, starting when winning at Market Rasen last month. She has since been successful at Ayr and Newcastle. She should now be the one in the Hoechst Roussel Panacur EBF Mares' Novices' Hurdle.
Corals have opened their book on the London Clubs Trophy for the leading rider at the 1999 Cheltenham Festival, with last year's winner Tony McCoy heading the market.
McCoy is 13 to 8 favourite to retain the Trophy. In-form Norman Williamson is the next best at 11 to 4, with Richard Dunwoody a 7 to 1 chance.
Charlie Swan is rated a 10 to 1 shot despite only riding in hurdle races this year because of his strong hand in the Champion and Stayers hurdles.
