5/6

C&D winner who cashed in on a falling mark when accounting for his two rivals at Fontwell (25.7f) in May. Has remained in form since, third of 5 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20f) 18 days ago. Should give another good account with rider taking off handy 7 lb.

10/11

Lazy sort but pretty consistent on the whole and having got his head back infront at Newton Abbot (later demoted for causing interference) he continued good work in typical fashion when successful at Huntingdon (25f) 7 days ago. Another with claims under a penalty.

Forecasts

Jersey Wonder (5/6), Presenting Yeats (10/11), Honor Grey (15/8)

Sound claims can be made for all three with the narrow vote in favour of JERSEY WONDER. He's been largely consistent since landing a similar affair at Fontwell in May, and his mark is steadily easing so, with his rider taking off a handy 7 lb, he could just be the answer. Presenting Yeats is going through a good spell and may emerge at the chief threat.
