Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (15/2) at this C&D 21 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not without hope in an open contest.

Latest win at Southwell in October. Good second of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, evens) 6 days ago. Looks the one to beat if in the same form.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at this course (8f) 16 days ago, inadequate test. Could do more upped in trip.

14/1
Twelve runs since last win in 2022. First run since leaving Gerard Keane when creditable third of 9 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Could build on that, so not a forlorn hope.

11/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Has a bit to prove and needs headgear to perk him up.

Forecasts

Come On John (11/10), Jujubella (9/2), Treasure Storm (8/1), Triple Force (11/1), Inspiring Speeches (11/1), Violeta (14/1), Blackstone Cliff (14/1), Dragons Will Rise (25/1), Fifty Sent (33/1), Tiger Trap (40/1)

Verdict

COME ON JOHN is in excellent form and, for all he found one too good again last time, he was clear of the remainder, and this doesn't look as strong, so he gets the nod ahead of Jujubella, who should benefit from the step up in trip. Fifty Sent is another one to consider.
