Finished runner-up on his two most recent outings including on good-to-firm ground over C&D last month. Races off the same mark and looks a leading contender in this contest.

Returned from a couple of runs over hurdles with a second to Four Kingdoms over 1m5f at Ayr (good-to-firm) two weeks ago. Has won over C&D in the past and looks set to run well once more.

Saw off Golden Jeffrey when winning over 1m5f at Ayr (good-to-firm) last time out. Raised 3lb for that success and interesting if his stamina holds out on just his second start over this trip.

Dual winner in bumpers last year but struggled in four starts on the Flat including on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m6f, good-to-firm) last month. Has had a wind operation since his most recent start.

Impressive 6L winner of a C&D handicap on good-to-firm ground earlier this month. Raised 8lb fort hat success and is seeking a fourth C&D success.

Forecasts

Great Fighter (6/4), Four Kingdoms (9/4), Golden Jeffrey (11/4), Scottsdale (11/1), Jan Smuts (20/1)

Verdict

GOLDEN JEFFREY looks capable of taking this handicap contest having finished a good second last time out. Trainer Iain Jardine is in good form at present (5/30) and his charge can take this at the chief expense of Great Fighter who can finish runner-up for the third consecutive time. Four Kingdoms who defeated the selection when the pair met here earlier this month can take third.
  1. Golden Jeffrey
  2. Great Fighter
  3. Four Kingdoms
