Caribean Boy²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: D A Jacob| T: N J Henderson| OR: 154

4/5

French import who has quickly made up into a smart chaser for present stable, showing a good turn of foot to defeat Fiddlerontheroof in Newbury Gr. 2 (19.8f) last month. Interesting with more to come

Form: 692/31-1

Dashel Drasher²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott| OR: 143| C| D

11/2

Likeable, multiple hurdles winner who ended last term with success in 4-runner Haydock novice chase (21.5f). Very fresh on return/back of wind op at that venue in November and likely to be sharper now

Form: 11/2U1-3

Itchy Feet²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: G Sheehan| T: O Murphy| OR: 155

15/8

Smart over hurdles and even better over fences last term, winning Grade 1 novice at Sandown. Ran well in Old Roan/Grade 2 Ascot event this campaign but he does need to keep the errors at bay.

Form: 411U-32

Forecasts

Caribean Boy (4/5), Itchy Feet (15/8), Dashel Drasher (11/2), Commanche Red (8/1)

This may well develop in to a match between CARIBEAN BOY and Itchy Feet. The former took another step forward and showed a good turn of foot when doubling his chase tally at Newbury last month, his jumping again looking an asset. The latter could do with sharpening up again in that department and is a player if doing so. Dashel Drasher should come forward for his Haydock return recently.
