Settings
Selected odds by:
Hurdles winner in France who has placed several time over fences in Britain without winning. Below par when fourth in 2m handicap at this course in May but this more his trip. The yard also runs Sir Jack West.
|
Dual hurdles/chase winner but yet to get seriously competitive for this yard. His mark has come down a long way but others are still preferred.
|
Won 3 claiming chases in France. Yet to scale same heights for new yard but latest 2m course second shows he's down to a mark he can be very competitive from. Back up in trip. Player.
|
Hurdle winner for this yard. Given a considerate introduction to chasing when fourth of 5 at Uttoxeter 18 days ago and may do better now.
|
C&D winner last August and added to tally at Leicester in December. Off 5 months, held when unseating 2 out at Fontwell 3 weeks ago. Needs to have come on for the outing.
|
Winning handicap hurdler who did too much too soon when a remote fourth at Fakenham last time. Switches to fences for the first time now.
|
Hurdle winner for Mark Walford but well held on all starts for this yard, including 2m course reappearance 14 days ago.
|
C&D winner in 2023 but not seen since finishing second at Hereford in October of that year. Given a chance by the handicapper but the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations after such a long time off.
|
Remains a maiden. Runner up at Warwick (2½m, good) in March but has failed to complete twice since, pulling up at Market Rasen latterly.
|
Unreliable type who has pulled up over hurdles on both starts this season but did win this race under Sean Bowen last year. No surprise were he to bounce back to form with a bang.
|
Fontwell winner in August 2023. Below that successful mark now and latest C&D fourth was respectable.
|
Placed both starts between the flags early in 2022 but has shown little under Rules to date, finishing a remote third over 23f here last time. 11 lb out of weights.

Forecasts
Jac Jumper (4/1), Jaipaletemps (4/1), She Has Notions (7/1), Sir Jack West (7/1), King Of The Story (15/2), Henry Box Brown (9/1), Catboy (12/1), Mersey Street (14/1), Zacony Rebel (14/1), King Of The Hill (14/1), Raindance Queen (28/1), Pennant Legacy (33/1), Fenna's Loss (50/1)
JAIPALETEMPS can build on last month's course second and gain a first success in Britain. Last year's winner She Has Notions is taken to bounce back to form and provide the main threat ahead of Catboy.
