Jimmy's Jet^v1²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Craig Nichol| T: A M Thomson| D

4/1

Cheap purchase but landed a bit of a touch on debut at Ayr in October. Changed hands after and swerved and unseated his rider back there 3 weeks ago. Visor replaces tongue tie. Probably worth another chance.

Form: 1U

Barley Breeze¹⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby

25/1

Similar form in a brace of bumpers during the autumn and much more needed here.

Form: 64

Barnards Green³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland

3/1

Showed plenty of ability when third at Southwell on debut in December and having seemed amiss there a month later, he got right back on track at Doncaster last month. Respected.

Form: 303

Gun Runner Cash

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: S Bowen| T: G Elliott

11/8

Jet Away gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful chaser Tardree and fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Ballinsker, stays 23f. Hood fitted and he's a noteworthy newcomer for top yard.

9/2

Champs Elysees gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/smart hurdler Indefatigable and bumper winner Litigate. Dam unraced. Strong in the betting but in need of the experience starting out at Catterick.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Music Drive (6/5), Gun Runner Cash (11/8), Barnards Green (3/1), American Land (10/3), Major Fortune (7/2), Jimmy's Jet (4/1), Split The Bill (9/2), Glorious Oscar (13/2), Barley Breeze (25/1), Blame Rose (80/1), Couldntgivamonkeys (80/1)

GUN RUNNER CASH is very interesting on debut and could be the way to go. Jimmy's Jet is worth another chance fitted with a visor, while Barnards Green also has claims.
