J T Vobe Electrical Contracting Handicap Chase

Made a pleasing return to chasing earlier in the month when third at Sandown behind Rock on Rocky (1m7½f, good to soft). Will be interesting to see if he can build on that here, and he has place claims once again if so and appears to be on a fair enough mark.

Jumping can often be his downfall and did well to get away with as many mistakes as he did at Ffos Las two starts back when winning a five-runner race. Poor run when making errors again last time and may be best avoided until he shows signs his jumping has improved despite looking on a feasible mark.

Moderate Flat performer who put it all together over fences at Newton Abbott at the start of the season. Looks best suited to faster ground and Flat return at the start of the month may have been a prep run for this but he can make mistakes over his obstacles and not one to put a large amount of faith in.

Consistent sort but struggling to get his head in front in recent times. Back on his last winning mark but faster ground would be a slight concern when considering him for win purposes. Usually runs his race though and one of the more reliable sorts.

Largely out of form this season and still yet to win a race after 16 starts. Can make jumping errors and probably one to avoid.

Struggling to finish a race in recent times and shown nothing in two starts for this yard. Not finished in the places since 2015 and hard to fancy in current form.

Consistent performer despite his advancing years but handicapper looks to have anchored him again for now. Usually runs his race so may be able to collect a little prize money.
