8/15

Had wind surgery before bagging a pair of novice chases at Cheltenham (Grade 2 on latter occasion). Ridden too agressively when third to Edwardstone in Henry VIII at Sandown and can bounce back here.

Form: 464-113

Do Your Job^t³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: M Scudamore| OR: 142| D

7/2

Made a successful start to his chase career in 2m Warwick novice and bettered that form when second to Edwardstone in Wayward Lad Chase at Kempton 33 days ago. May do better still, so much respected.

Form: 422-1F2

For Pleasure⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 137| D

4/1

Scored 4 times over hurdles last term, and he easily opened his account in this sphere in 3-runner novice at Plumpton (17f) 47 days ago. This is tougher, but he's no forlorn hope.

Form: 035-F31

Third Time Lucki (8/15), Do Your Job (7/2), For Pleasure (4/1)

THIRD TIME LUCKI lost his unbeaten record over fences at Sandown last time but wasn't seen to best effect behind Edwardstone there and can quickly get back to wining ways despite conceding 5 lb to both his rivals. Do Your Job appeals as the one to chase home Dan Skelton's smart novice.
