Jarveys Plate²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 140

6/4

Looked better than ever when landing a decent Newbury handicap (24.2f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. 4 lb rise and should give another good account.

Form: 9F-5621

Ruthless Article^t¹⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 130

12/1

Hasn't shone in a couple of attempts over fences and while his strike rate in this sphere is good (3-9), he has a point to prove now.

Form: 116P-24

Cotswold Way^b¹²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 127| C

5/1

Best effort of the season so far when fourth of 10 off 1 lb higher mark at Kempton in November. Not in the same form at Cheltenham (3m, soft) since, but this is a less taxing assignment.

Form: 776540

Jersey Wonder¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Sherwood| OR: 120

6/5

Useful stayer on Flat for Jamie Osborne and duly improved on handicap debut in this sphere when scoring at Fontwell (21.8f, good to firm). 6 lb rise manageable and he remains open to improvement.

Forecasts

Jersey Wonder (6/5), Jarveys Plate (6/4), Cotswold Way (5/1), Ruthless Article (12/1), Nordano (16/1)

This further step up in trip should suit JERSEY WONDER, who did the job well when making a winning handicap debut in this sphere over 21.8f at Fontwell. He is confidently expected to follow up. Jarveys Plate is second choice ahead of Cotswold Way.
