Blue Cove²⁶⁵

Age: 13| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 67

100/1

Long-standing maiden of just modest ability - copes with cut in the ground but needs everything to go his way if he's going to get off the mark at the 37th time of asking.

Form: 00833-P

Jack Devine^t1⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin

5/4

Consistent in point-to-points and shaped with promise here last time out. The extra distance is in his favour and, with the application of a tongue tie, there may well be a good bit more to come.

Form: 121-152

Luckime²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Deutsch⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 114

8/13

Not achieved much so far but has untapped potential over this trip and, given his yard excels with its stayers, this fellow would be dangerous to ignore.

Form: 2-5753

Forecasts

Luckime (8/13), Jack Devine (5/4), Jaunty Flyer (13/8), Blue Cove (100/1)

The step up in trip is likely to be ideal for JAUNTY FLYER, who coped well with the undulations of this course last month and will hard to master if taking a further step forward. Luckime is also likely to be suited by the extra distance and, as he gets weight from the selection and the assistance of a skillful 3lb claimer, the six-year-old looks the best alternative. Jack Devine coped well with 3m in point-to-points and makes more appeal than Blue Cove on this occasion.
