Roa/racing Post Owners' Jackpot Handicap Chase

Yard won this race with a similar type last season, so has to be of interest that he takes his chance from the head of the weights. He is back on a winning mark despite a string of consistent efforts and may well improve for the extra demands being placed on his stamina this time around. The rider's claim helps with the burden at the weights.

Recent efforts have been a little hit or miss and needs to improve upon his latest performance at Doncaster where he was left a poor fourth when others faded away. Lacks experience over fences but does have scope improvement. One to keep tabs on from here.

Won well over 2m at Lingfield last month and, as he is still 2lb lower than his best mark over hurdles, he is still open to a little improvement from his revised higher rating. The extra distance shouldn't be too much of an issue, as he has stayed this trip well in the past. Drying ground would be more of a concern, so a check on an updated going report is advised before getting involved from a betting perspective.

Still only a seven-year-old, so has time on his side. But his recorded incident of bleeding at Fakenham has to be of obvious concern and, given that he posted a very poor effort when last seen out at Leicester, he is probably best watched for now.

Hints of only modest ability for her new yard and has yet to even be placed over fences. Her stable has had two winner from five horses sent out to contest chases this season, but this mare hasn't shown enough to suggest she can enhance the statistic just yet.

Has been kept busy of late and holding his form well at a modest level; raised just 1lb for winning over C&D tells it's own story about the handicapper's assessment of the worth of his achievements. However, he is respected as a consistent type that is more than capable of capitalising if a few of the others suffer misfortune in running.

Hasn't won since April 2013 and, at the age of fourteen, this veteran performer lacks any scope for improvement. He has, however, registered 23 placed efforts alongside his 6 wins, so has been a credit to his connections over the years. Still, he needs an awful lot of luck in running and is easy to oppose on recent form; sentiment aside, he is best left alone to run his race.
