The Great Escape²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 104

11/2

Didn't show much on debut in a bumper on New Year's Eve, but has subsequently improved with each of his 3 starts over hurdles, most recently finishing third in an 11-runner novice here (2m, good to soft) last month. Interesting now moving back up in trip for this handicap bow.

Form: 8-323

Janworth²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 103| CD

11/8

Progressive since returning from 11 months off in May, winning handicaps at Sedgefield and over this C&D, either side of a final-flight fall at Southwell (had the race sewn up when departing). 8 lb rise for latest success looks manageable and she's a big player.

Form: 4/27-1F1

Mr Yeats^t1¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 100

12/1

Winless since 2022 and while he shaped well prior to falling 2 out on return/debut for new yard at Carlisle in April, a bounce back is needed following a low-key display over this C&D recently. Tongue strap applied.

Form: 33F-547

Nathanael Greene^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph| OR: 90

33/1

Dual winner on the Flat, but no impact in half-a-dozen starts over hurdles to date and readily passed over.

Form: P/04P-5P

Boskill Borden^v¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: D A Rees| OR: 87

7/2

Just the one win to his name from 18 starts overall and that breakthrough success was gained for previous connections in Ireland almost 2 years ago. On the upside, he produced his best effort for a while when second in a first-time visor (retained) over C&D recently. Couldn't rule out.

Form: 884-572

Pooroldmackley³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 83| D

15/2

Landed back-to-back handicaps over fences/hurdles in April and ran creditably in hat-trick bid from much-inflated mark when third at Ludlow (21.2f, good to firm) in May. Another decent effort over the larger obstacles last month and he's in with an each-way shout.

Form: 7311-34

Pacific^p⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Freddie Keighley⁽¹⁰⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 78

17/2

Bits and pieces of decent form since joining this yard last spring, albeit without suggesting that she'll be quick to repay the 50,000 gns current connections paid for her. May well pick up more minor place money if backing up her latest Huntingdon (20.7f, good to firm) third.

Form: 2350-63

Forecasts

Janworth (11/8), Boskill Borden (7/2), The Great Escape (11/2), Pooroldmackley (15/2), Broomfield Gale (8/1), Pacific (17/2), Mr Yeats (12/1), Little Miller (25/1), Nathanael Greene (33/1)

JANWORTH is unlucky not to be 3-3 since returning from an 11-month absence and an 8 lb rise for her latest success over this C&D may not be enough to stop her from going in again. Handicap debutant The Great Escape is feared most ahead of Pooroldmackley, while Broomfield Gale and Boskill Borden should also be on the premises.
