Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 82| C| D

13/2

On a losing run but he caught the eye off a reduced mark when fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to firm) 37 days ago, finishing well having been hampered 3 out. Interesting with Brian Hughes back in the saddle.

Forecasts

Tropical Talent (9/2), Jet Of Dreams (11/2), Clean Getaway (6/1), Mordred (6/1), Getaway Jewel (13/2), Royal Max (7/1), Natural Ability (17/2), Sadies Diamond (10/1), Dr Sanderson (11/1), Melvich Bay (12/1), Check My Pulse (12/1), Shuil Donn (20/1)

A few with chances but Micky Hammond's veteran GETAWAY JEWEL is fancied to build on the promise of his recent Market Rasen fifth now reunited with Brian Hughes and capitalise on a reduced mark. Course winner Mordred heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Tropical Talent, Jet of Dreams and Clean Getaway in this open handicap.
