Chasing looks to be the name of the game for
Kerry Lee's DEMACHINE and after few
hurdle runs last season, he has his attention quickly switched to the larger
obstacles. A fine, athletic specimen to look at he struck me as an embryonic
chaser last year and even the way he jumped his hurdles suggested he would
appreciate a fence. His hurdle form may not match up to what some of his rivals
today achieved over the smaller obstacles but chasing is a different game
entirely.
Having
said that, his hurdle form wasn't devoid of promise and I'd also say he would
appreciate the better ground he will encounter at Ludlow today so could take a
big step forward by just running on this surface. At around 12/1 he looks a
good each way poke in an open race.
