Saint Jaguen^t⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien

5/2

Showed ability in bumpers and made a promising hurdling debut when third of 7 in novice over C&D. Will need further than this to fulfil potential but still looks main threat to the favourite.

Form: 5-43

The Scan Man⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

20/1

Doyen gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 2¾m) Couleur France. Unplaced in a point bumper and looked short of pace when sixth of 10 in bumper at Hexham (16.2f, good, 15/2) on NH debut 42 days ago.

Form: 6-6

Forecasts

Rock On Harry (8/11), Saint Jaguen (5/2), Calvic (5/1), The Scan Man (20/1), Gold In Doha (25/1), Horizon Dove (50/1), The Tiger Tank (50/1), Cape Cornwall Rose (50/1), Lark In The Dark (100/1), Straitouttacompton (100/1), Le Bayou (125/1)

ROCK ON HARRY was only just denied on his handicap bow at Worcester and this looks an excellent opportunity back in a maiden. Saint Jaguen can follow him home in a weak affair.
