It's now 14 runs since his last win in 2022 but he wasn't disgraced when fourth of 16 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20f) 22 days ago. Possibilities.

Forecasts

Crypto Currency (7/2), Blazing Court (9/2), Jac Jumper (9/2), Police Academy (13/2), Up For Appeal (13/2), Almost Gotaway (15/2), Walkingoneggshells (14/1), Fat Sam (16/1), Thank You Blue (25/1), Rathmacknee (33/1), Mix Of Clover (40/1)

Verdict

ALMOST GOTAWAY made a promising start over fences when third at Stratford and is taken to build on it here at the chief expense of Jac Jumper who was a resurgent runner-up over C&D last time. Police Academy is another to consider reverted to this sphere along with in-form pair Crypto Currency and Blazing Court.
