8/13

Good Fontwell chasing second in first-time blinkers but only third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, soft) 21 days ago. Back chasing and sets a good standard lowered in grade.

5/2

Went backwards from his chasing bow when only fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (16.5f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Up in trip. Worth another chance.

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Bryan Carver| T: C Honour| OR: 81

Scored over fences at Newton Abbot last May but off 7 months since pulled up over hurdles there last time. Back chasing with more required.

66/1

It's now 19 runs since last win in 2021 and he came in last of 7 in handicap chase (50/1) at Huntingdon (16.5f, heavy) 15 days ago. Others appeal more.

100/1

Remains a maiden after 18 runs. 150/1, last on the Flat at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 35 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Jerrash (8/13), Ingennio (5/2), Shortcross Storm (11/2), Torrent Des Mottes (66/1), Fast Deal (100/1)

A weak seller in which JERRASH is the only one in the handicap proper here and hard to oppose reverted to fences. Ingennio appeals as the one to chase home Gary Moore's 7-y-o ahead of Shortcross Storm.
