Side with Shannon

SHANNON’S PRIDE is fancied to open his account for the season in today's catterickbridge.co.uk Handicap Chase at the North Yorkshire track.

He was successful over fences once last term but despite running some good races so far this season, he has failed to get his head back in front.

Beaten just over six lengths behind Hakim at Aintree last month, he followed that with a bitterly disappointing effort on heavy going at Wetherby last time out, dropping tamely away from five out.
