FONTAINE COLLONGES can win the Peter Marsh Handicap Chase (A Limited Handicap) (GBB Race) (GBB Race) (2.40pm) at Haydock Park on Saturday afternoon – if the meeting passes a precautionary inspection at 8am in the morning.
With freezing conditions proving costly for the majority of National Hunt racing in Britain this week, Haydock’s seven-race card could be the latest casualty – although officials at the track are hopeful as long as temperatues don't dip too severly overnight. If the Merseyside track gets the green light Venetia Williams’ eight-year-old mare looks to have a big chance of landing the Grade Two feature.
Fontaine Collonges has won three of her six chase starts including over course and distance in the Best Odds On The Betfair Exchange Handicap Chase in November, just getting the better of The Big Breakaway – who advertised the form when a fine second in the Coral Welsh National at Chepstow over Christmas.
