What Odds Double Joy for Geraghtys? In the space of not much more than an hour today, the Geraghty family could have good cause for a double cross-channel celebration. Of course man in the news, Barry teams up with the strongly fancied Native Scout for Donie Hassett at Ascot, whilst his dad Tucker later saddles What Odds in the Tote Classic Chase at Warwick.Davy Russell takes the mount on What Odds in the Class A Handicap, where the son of Torus will compete from seven pounds out of the handicap. A former top hunter chaser, the eight-year-old graduated successfully to this sphere back in late November at Punchestown. A well-supported favourite on that occasion, the Mike Futter-owned gelding made every post a winning one to take the Porterstown Chase in convincing style.Futter’s Grand National hero, Monty’s Pass also began his career in the point-to-point fields and in such high-profile ownership, What Odds is likely to be one of the market-leaders despite a strong field going to post for this #63,800 prize. Winner of the Aintree spectacular in 2002 and most recently triumphant in the Welsh equivalent, Bindaree is sure to be a leading fancy, whilst Akarus, a faller in that Chepstow highlight is the forecast favourite.
