3-time winner over hurdles who has essentially performed with credit in trio of starts in handicaps this term, fourth of 9 in C&D event 3 weeks ago, despite not seeing things out fully. Rider takes off handy 7 lb and her mark is steadily easing.
|
Fair bumper winner who is lightly raced for his age and comes here following a good second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17f) 4 weeks ago, no match for a well-treated sort but nicely clear of remainder. Definite claims with a repeat returned to class 5 company.
|
Little impact in bumpers but showed more on his second start over hurdles when a close third in novice at this C&D in May, albeit in a steadily-run race. Down the field all 3 starts since though, latterly back from 3 months off/on debut for new yard here 3 weeks ago.
|
One-time fairly useful chase/hurdle winner in France. Eased plenty in weights and more encouraging signs (following wind op/refitted tongue tie) when rallying third in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Task is to build on that here.
|
Promise in bumpers and left previous exploits over hurdles in his wake switched to handicaps/equipped with blinkers when second of 5 in handicap at Catterick (15.7f, soft) 2 starts back. Not in same groove back up in trip at Musselburgh 16 days ago but not one to write off.
|
Offered little in novice/maiden hurdles but showed improved form to make a winning handicap debut at Southwell (15.8f, heavy) 16 days ago, caught out when pace lifted but finding plenty to lead dying strides. Can do better again on that evidence, with 2½m also likely to suit.

Forecasts
Geordies Dream (5/4), Beat Box (10/3), Polisud (9/2), Wotyoudunnow Buddy (13/2), Call Me Jack (17/2), Monty Nevett (50/1)
GEORDIES DREAM cemented his positive start in handicaps following a lengthy absence when chasing home a well-treated sort at Carlisle 4 weeks ago and he could be the way to go operating from the same mark. Call Me Jack, a winner at Southwell 16 days ago, is less exposed than most and feared, along with Beat Box.
- Call Me Jack17/2
