Jerrash¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 130

1/5

Showed plenty when third in an Ascot bumper and confirmed promise of that run when landing 21.6f novice hurdle at that venue in January. Similar form upped in grade last time and has more to offer.

Form: 313

Make My Day¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

7/2

Useful on Flat for Ralph Beckett in 2020 and showed a fair level of ability when seventh on his hurdling debut at Newbury 15 days ago. Likely to come on from that but Jerrash has achieved more.

Form: 7

Merchant In Milan^t⁴⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: Mrs H R J Nelmes| OR: 72

66/1

Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs and is well and truly out of his depth in this company.

Form: 56/6-U56

Forecasts

Jerrash (1/5), Gelino Bello (4/9), Make My Day (7/2), Merchant In Milan (66/1)

The Gary Moore-trained pair JERRASH and Make My Day both have plenty of potential, but the former has achieved quite a bit more in just 3 starts to date, and will be hard to beat. Merchant In Milan will need that pair to underperform by a long way if he's to have a say.
