The Go North One Man Series Final Handicap Chase is a highly anticipated event that draws top-notch horses to compete for the £30,000 prize pool. As we have previously discussed the race’s specifics, let’s now take a closer look at some of the key contenders and their recent performances, which will undoubtedly add to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the race.

1. Gandhi Maker: Despite the heavy ground conditions, Gandhi Maker remains a strong contender. His wins in January and February were on soft and good grounds, and his runner-up performance at Kelso on good to soft ground indicates that he could adapt to the heavier going in this race.
2. Getaway Luv: Getaway Luv’s win at Catterick on soft ground last November and recent victory at Ayr suggest that he could handle the heavy going. His inconsistent season makes it difficult to predict his performance, but he shouldn’t be ruled out as a potential contender.
3. Going Mobile: Going Mobile has shown promise on good ground, but his ability to handle the heavy going remains uncertain. The return of cheekpieces and possible improvement from his recent performance at Sedgefield may help, but the heavy ground conditions could be a concern.
4. Netywell: Netywell’s win at Ayr on heavy ground in January demonstrates his ability to handle the conditions. If he can improve his jumping and return to his January form, he could be a strong contender in this race.
5. Rocco Storm: Rocco Storm’s previous wins on soft and heavy ground suggest that he could perform well on the heavy going. Although his recent performance at Ayr was disappointing, the wind surgery he underwent might help him bounce back with a strong performance in this race.
6. Tico Times: Tico Times’ form on good/good to soft ground raises concerns about his ability to perform on heavy ground. He will need to adapt to the conditions to be competitive in this race.
7. Travail D’Orfeuvre: Travail D’Orfeuvre has shown promise on soft ground, with a good second-place finish at Ayr last month. His respectable third place at Kelso on good to soft ground suggests that he could potentially handle the heavy going in this race.
8. Treshnish: Treshnish’s win at Hexham on soft ground last November indicates that he could potentially perform well on the heavy ground. However, his recent form has been less impressive, and he will need to raise his game to be a contender in this race.

Conclusion: The Go North One Man Series Final Handicap Chase promises to be an exhilarating event, with several key contenders vying for the top spot on heavy ground. Each horse brings a unique set of skills and recent performances to the table, making it difficult to predict the outcome. As the race day approaches, horse racing enthusiasts eagerly await the spectacle that this thrilling competition will provide on the challenging heavy ground.
