Forecasts

Jazeel (11/4), Aardwolf (10/3), Flight Of Fantasy (7/2), Hombre Casado (4/1), Dorella (6/1), You're Hired (10/1), Dream Machine (10/1)

AARDWOLF has been in good form over jumps since his most recent Flat outing and he can make his first start in this sphere since joining this yard a winning one by taking what looks a competitive handicap. Forecast underfoot conditions should suit the selection and he can take this with Hombre Casado, stepping up in distance cable of claiming the runner-up spot ahead of Flight Of Fantasy who is seeking back-to-back wins.
