10/3

In first-time hood, off the mark over fences for Lucinda Russell at Ayr last March. However, didn't offer much in 3 starts for Dan Skelton this season and (with hood/tongue tie left off) well held on stable debut last time. Revival needed but he's on a dangerous mark.

Lucky Lugger^t³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: R Patrick| T: M Sheppard| OR: 108| D

9/4

Runner-up at this C&D on first 2 starts over fences and deservedly gained a first victory when scoring easily at Uttoxeter in February. Again ran well when second of 4 at Leicester (15.9f, heavy) last time, so he's a likely contender once more.

Form: 23F312

Jet Of Dreams^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Brendan Powell| T: W Greatrex| OR: 104| D

5/2

Opened account at Hereford last spring and has won twice more since, cruising home in a match at Taunton in November. After 4 months off, found less than looked likely when second of 3 at Newcastle (16.3f, good) 3 weeks ago, but he could be thereabouts again.

Form: 113212

Boston Joe^p1,t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 101| D

9/2

Won a pair of handicap chases at Ffos Las in first of half of season and runner-up over hurdles at this course in November. Below form on his last 2 starts, back over fences at Bangor 2 weeks ago, but he's capable on a going day with cheekpieces added.

Form: P812P5

Dj Pete²⁰

12/1

Made the frame both starts in bumpers, but only modest form over hurdles and fared no better making chase debut when well-beaten third of 5 in handicap at this C&D (good) 20 days ago. Major improvment required.

Forecasts

Lucky Lugger (9/4), Jet Of Dreams (5/2), Salamanca Bay (10/3), Boston Joe (9/2), Dj Pete (12/1), Jack Sparrow Grey (25/1)

LUCKY LUGGER has shown improved form sent chasing this season, getting off the mark at Uttoxeter in February before travelling best at Leicester last time, so he is taken to continue his good run and resume winning ways. He can see off the challenge of Jet of Dreams, who has won 3 of his 6 starts this season, while Boston Joe could fare better with headgear applied.
