Serjeant Painter²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 98

11/2

Barely modest over hurdles but much improved over fences, beating a subsequent winner when completing hat-trick at Stratford last month. Remains one to keep on the right side of.

Getaway Jewel²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 98| CD

6/1

Finally got off the mark as a chaser over C&D (good, 9/1) and followed up when beating Go As You Please here 4 weeks ago. Respected in current mood.

Form: P-22411

Trumps Benefit^p,t³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 92| D

5/2

Finally took advantage of his much-reduced mark at Stratford under this rider last month, suited by the drop back in trip. Remains on a fair mark up 3 lb.

Form: 34-45U1

Obey The Rules^p⁸⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: J J Burke| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 89| D

13/2

Has taken well to fences, bagging handicaps at around 2m at Hereford and Sedgefield in November. Creditable second at Wincanton in April but next 2 starts were poor. Needs to bounce back.

Captain Cobajay²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 79| CD

9/2

Bagged 17f handicap chases here (this race off 4 lb higher) and Stratford last summer. Hasn't clicked in 4 starts for a stable which usually does well with new recruits but his mark has dipped further.

Form: 2759-46

Strong Team^v⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Callum Bewley| T: C Grant| OR: 79| D

28/1

Back-to-back hurdles winner last summer and better for return when 12¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Getaway Jewel on belated chase bow over C&D 6 weeks ago. Needs to step up on that.

Form: 586P-04

Uncle O^t³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Benjamin Poste| T: C Hobson| OR: 77| CD

12/1

Gained his breakthrough win at Market Rasen last year and made a solid return to action after 7 months off when a close third at Southwell. Might have found next run coming too soon.

Form: 3583-3P

Rann Of Kutch^p1²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 73

25/1

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser. More needed in first-time headgear.

Form: 44/2-P47

The Garrison¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: James Davies| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 72

15/2

Hasn't shown his form in a long time and not much promise on yard debut/return.

Form: P8P3P-6

Fast Deal¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Daire Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 66

80/1

Poor maiden. Firmly up against it from out of the weights.

Form: 465-8P8

Forecasts

Trumps Benefit (5/2), Captain Cobajay (9/2), Serjeant Painter (11/2), Getaway Jewel (6/1), Obey The Rules (13/2), The Garrison (15/2), Go As You Please (8/1), Uncle O (12/1), Rann Of Kutch (25/1), Strong Team (28/1), Fast Deal (80/1)

SERJEANT PAINTER has proved a revelation since sent chasing and claimed his hat-trick success at Stratford in the style of a novice open to more improvement, so remains one to keep on the right side of. Trumps Benefit was suited by the return to this trip when ending his losing run at Stratford and is next best ahead of the in-form Getaway Jewel.
