2.40 BetVictor Champion Chase (Grade 1) 3m

Affordale Fury: Runner-up in the 2023 Albert Bartlett won a Galway beginners’ chase on his first start in this sphere that October, but absent for 438 days after hanging and jumping right on next start. Two solid starts in 2025 since, including last time over a likely inadequate two and a half miles when second to Western Fold. Should appreciate getting back up to this trip but does require a clear career-best effort.
