11/10

Useful chaser who landed a couple of veterans' events in 2022 and shaped as if retaining ability after 18 months off in Catterick hunter 7 weeks ago. One to consider.

Form: 4/6117-5

Stratagem^t⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr D Maxwell| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 130| BF| D

11/4

Useful sort who made all in extended 3m Southwell hunter in May 2022 and shaped better than the distance beaten suggests after lengthy absence/another breathing operation there 7 weeks ago. Clearly retains ability and probably the way to go.

Form: P12/41-4

Forecasts

Jerrysback (11/10), Matts Commission (9/4), Stratagem (11/4), Shanroe Street (25/1), Dressedforsuccess (40/1), Glory (125/1)

STRATAGEM shaped better than the result back from a long time off at Southwell and could prove too good if building on that. Jerrysback is the danger for a bang in-form yard.
