8/1

Winner at Haydock on 3-y-o return but below par after, last of 12 in handicap at Ayr (10f, soft) final start. However, starts new campaign only 1 lb above winning mark and can go well fresh.

Jackhammer⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 72| D

3/1

Won 4 times in 2019, including over C&D. Seen just twice last summer but good second of 8 in handicap (18/1) at Ayr (8f, good to firm) on return 5 days ago, just failing. Likeable type and considered.

Form: 121/42-2

Forecasts

Howzer Black (5/2), Jackhammer (3/1), Wild Hope (10/3), Delph Crescent (13/2), Arch Moon (8/1), Jump The Gun (12/1), Granite City Doc (25/1)

ARCH MOON starts the new campaign only 1 lb higher in the weights than for his reappearance success last year so could be worth chancing. The likeable Jackhammer only just failed off this mark at Ayr on his return on Tuesday and rates the main threat ahead of Wild Hope.
