Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 130| C

6/5

Fairly useful hurdler. Good start to chase career when third in Carlisle handicap last autumn. Not seen again until well held over hurdles last month but retains potential as a chaser.

Sir Sholokhov^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: D A Jacob| T: H Whittington| OR: 127| D

7/4

Winning Irish pointer who, after a couple of goes over hurdles, has looked useful when winning handicap chases at Sedgefield (2m) and Newton Abbot (21f) this spring. Up in trip. More to come.

Form: 1/3411-

Landsman^t,v¹²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 120

18/1

Reached the frame in pair of novice chases in autumn 2019 but it's hard to get excited by what he's achieved over hurdles/on AW Flat in a light career since.

Form: 0323/00-

Jen's Boy^b¹⁹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 115| BF

4/1

Fair winning hurdler who has stepped up on that form without getting the job done over fences, finishing runner-up 3 times early last season. Off since pulling up at Cheltenham in October.

Form: 42/222P-

Forecasts

Back On The Lash (6/5), Sir Sholokhov (7/4), Jen's Boy (4/1), Landsman (18/1)

SIR SHOLOKHOV can make light of a further 4 lb rise and stretch his unbeaten chase record to 3. Back On The Lash could be sharper for a recent outing over hurdles and can provide the chief threat ahead of the returning Jen's Boy.
