8/13

Course winner over 6f here under this rider he did look a little quirky on that occasion and those quirks came to the fore last time. Basically threw a C&D handicap away off today's mark having travelled the best; capable but caution advised.

Jeopardy John¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 69

4/1

This will be his first try at the minimum trip having run with credit over 6f here last time off a 1lb higher mark. The handicapper looks to have him on a mark that's a little too high though and relief is needed before he's of interest.

Wotadoll²³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory| OR: 63| CD

11/4

This will be her first run of the season but she is a C&D winner having taken a 5f handicap on soft ground here last October. Now 7lb higher and giving race fitness away she looks to have quite a stiff task.

Special Code^h1,t²⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: George Wood| T: P Butler| OR: 46| D

66/1

Finished last on his final two starts of last season and now returns from a break having to run from 4lb out of the handicap. As can be seen from those last two starts he has very little to recommend him in this.

Form: 874/900-

Forecasts

Jack Taylor (8/13), Wotadoll (11/4), Jeopardy John (4/1), Special Code (66/1)

Not a strong race and ordinarily the antics of JACK TAYLOR last time out would be a worry but he’ll have to work hard to throw this much easier opportunity away. Jeopardy John needs some help from the handicapper if he’s to win a race whilst Wotadoll will more than likely lack the match sharpness needed to win a race of this nature on her first run of the year.
