12/1
Five-time Flat winner who scored twice over hurdles in France back in 2018. Failed to win over hurdles for current yard but he did make a successful start to his chase career at Plumpton (17f) and followed up at Ludlow, both under this rider. Enters calculations.

Won at Haydock in April but was unsuited by the dash for home at Aintree before producing a rare poor effort at Market Rasen. Type to bounce back after a break.

Pretty useful hurdler who was placed twice in competitive Ascot handicaps during 2020/21 campaign. However, offered little in a very light campaign last season and made a discouraging start over fences at Worcester/here.

Seemingly much improved for a breathing op when winning at Wetherby in January and February. Well held on handicap debut at Sandown on final outing of the campaign but made positive start over fences when second at Southwell on return, clear of rest. Big player.

12/1
Built up a good strike rate over hurdles last season, gaining fourth victory in a Wincanton novice (15.2f) in February. Little to shout about over fences this term though, so he shouldn't be troubling the main protagonists.

Caused a surprise when taking 4-runner novice at Leicester on debut over fences in February. However, was beaten a fair way in a Sandown handicap in April and fared no better both starts this term.

Useful at his best but he's without a win since 2020 and pulled up last 3 starts. Has it to prove.

Made winning yard debut in juvenile fillies' hurdle at Ludlow in February and would have made a successful chase bow at Taunton on return if staying upright. Duly made amends at Southwell and likely to progress further.

11/1
Career best when winning 4-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon (19.9f, good to soft) 39 days ago but he'll need more racing from a 3 lb higher mark in this stronger-looking event.

Finally revived enough to take advantage of dropping so far in the weights in mares event at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago but more needed back in open company.

Forecasts

Our Jet (13/8), Ile De Jersey (7/2), Dame du Soir (6/1), Maninsane (11/1), Honneur D'Ajonc (12/1), Tap Tap Boom (12/1), The Hollow Ginge (18/1), Corran Cross (20/1), Arrivederci (25/1), Nelson River (28/1)

Verdict

OUR JET was fairly useful over hurdles last season but has the look of a better chaser judged on his good comeback second at Southwell and is taken to go one better. Ile de Jersey and Tap Tap Boom have both taken well to fences and rate the main threats.
