13/2

11/4

Two wins from 6 runs in 2020. Off 5 months, 15/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 22 days ago, not settling. That should have blown the cobwebs away and he's a player.

Jackhammer²⁷³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 72| CD

18/1

Won 4 times in 2019, including over C&D. Seen just twice last summer and probably best watched after 9 months away with all usual headgear left off.

Form: 1121/42-

Paddy Elliott¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 64

10/1

Modest maiden. Off 19 months and 33/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 14 days ago, needing stiffer test.

Form: 44245/5

Forecasts

Challet (11/4), Lion Tower (7/2), Qasbaz (9/2), Bringitonboris (5/1), Asdaa (13/2), Paddy Elliott (10/1), Jackhammer (18/1), Markazi (22/1)

CHALLET should have come on plenty for his Redcar return and could resume the winning thread back down in grade. Newcastle-winner Lion Tower and Asdaa are a couple of others to consider in an open handicap.
