22/1

Dual hurdles winner but very lightly raced of late and fell 5 out (still in touch) in 2m4f Bangor handicap chase last month. More needed back in this sphere.

Form: 2310-0F

Velasco^p,t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 115| D

18/1

Thrived towards the end of last season, winning three times, and shaped as if needing the run after 6 months off when fourth of 8 in 23f Hexham handicap 19 days ago. Can take a step forward.

Form: 711P1-4

Skyjack Hijack⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 113| D

2/7

Arrives very much on the up and he impressively completed a hat-trick in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Aintree (24.7f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Escapes a penalty for that and he's the one to beat.

Form: 232111

Steps Match^p¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: D Bourke| OR: 108| D

28/1

Resumed winning ways over hurdles at Perth in September but pulled up in handicap chase at Sedgefield (26.3f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Not ruled out though back in this sphere.

Form: 55813P

Del La Mar Rocket^p1²⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: H McMahon| OR: 108

150/1

Landed a Ffos Las maiden hurdle in February 2022 but largely held back by his jumping over hurdles and fences for Ben Pauling since. First outing for new yard after 9 months off with lots to prove.

Form: 58P/P6P-

Jeteye^t,v²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 99

7/1

Got off the mark at Hexham in June and posted a good fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle there (23.3f, good) 27 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: P71974

Mrs Tabitha^p1,t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 87

12/1

Unreliable sort but was running well off the back of a wind op when ran out 2 out in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f, good) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now up in trip.

Form: 071-24R

Forecasts

Skyjack Hijack (2/7), Jeteye (7/1), Mrs Tabitha (12/1), Velasco (18/1), Herewegohoney (22/1), Steps Match (28/1), Del La Mar Rocket (150/1)

SKYJACK HIJACK is impossible to oppose given he can race off the same mark as when a facile scorer at Aintree only four days ago. Jeteye appeals as the one to chase home Jennie Candlish's improver ahead of Steps Match.
