JETS Richard Davis Awards Handicap Chase

Winless since 2022 but he was placed at Chepstow and Aintree this spring. Well held both starts in the summer, however, so needs to bounce back.

Shaped as if amiss on his final start last season but had a good campaign over hurdles otherwise. Will make a chaser (won sole outing in Irish points) so claims can certainly be made.

Low-mileage 8-y-o who tasted success over hurdles and improved when opening his chase at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) on return on New Year's Day. However, gone backwards since so something to prove on comeback.

Opened chase account at Warwick a year ago. Mixed record since but went close at Newton Abbot. Let down by jumping at Worcester next time but not dismissed for in-form yard.

Back on the scoresheet when accounting for 5 rivals in a 2½m Uttoxeter handicap chase (soft) in July. Stamina seemingly stretched upped to 21.4f at Market Rasen back from a 10-week break last month and better expected now.

Low-mileage 6-y-o who has already won twice over fences. Excuses both starts last month after 4 months off so not taken lightly with tongue strap applied.

Strong in the betting after 10 weeks off and got off the mark over hurdles at the fourth attempt in Sedgefield maiden over this trip last month, knuckling down well. Quickly switches to chasing and this expensive point winner is very interesting on handicap bow.

Dual winner in first campaign over fences but not so consistent last term. Enhanced good record fresh when second at Huntingdon but remains to be seen if he's able to build on that.
