1/4
Reportedly held in highly regard by the stable and won two of his first three outings prior to disappointing when well beaten fourth at Kempton in December. Returns from over three months off here and likely to prove hard to beat.

4/1
Winner off a mark of 108 in a handicap over an extended 1m7f at Towcester in November. Well beaten off much higher marks the last twice and likely to find at least one too good in this.
Dual point-to-point winner in Ireland but well held in three outings under rules so far. Best performance came on sole start for previous yard over 2m4f here in November but interesting in cheekpieces on debut for a new trainer.

10/1
Best effort in five outings so far came when finishing a 27L third at Chepstow in January. Disappointed over this trip at the same track last time out and unproven on predicted going today.
5
Horse silk
20/1
Beaten a neck when runner-up at Plumpton over 2m (good) in November but pulled up and beaten 42L in two subsequent outings and likely to fair better once tackling handicaps.
7
Horse silk
50/1
Beaten 11½L when finishing fifth of 15 on debut at Exeter in a bumper in February. Well beaten in two novice hurdles since and has blinkers added to the tongue tie (worn last time) for this.
8
Horse silk
80/1
Well beaten in two hurdles outings to date including on good ground at Chepstow last week. Likely best watched here.
9
Horse silk
100/1
Maiden after 13 career outings and best effort for this yard came when third in a seller over 1m4f on the Flat in December. Pulled up on hurdling debut last time out.

Forecasts

Jenkins (1/4), Peruvien Bleu (4/1), A Bold Move (9/2), Big Chip And Pin (10/1), Bubsy Burbidge (20/1), Looksabitlikebrian (25/1), Virginia Chick (50/1), Timely Gift (80/1), All Dolled Up (100/1)

Verdict

JENKINS can get his career back on track following an odds-on reverse at Kempton in December. Nicky Henderson's charge was touted as a possible Cheltenham Festival contender earlier in the season but has been absent since that Kempton defeat. Of the selections rivals here Peruvien Bleu was a winner over hurdles in November and can claim second ahead of A Bold Move who had some useful point-to-point form but has failed to reproduce that under rules so far.
