Scord over 2m5f here in March and backed it up with a good second of 10 in handicap hurdle here (21.8f, good) 18 days ago. Not ruled out reverted to fences with cheekpieces replacing a visor.

Shaped well when fifth on his chasing bow over 2m4f at Southwell but kept to 2m since, sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Worcester 19 days ago. Very much one to consider back up in trip with cheekpieces added.

Vastly improved since sent chasing and fitted with cheekpieces/tongue strap, scoring twice over C&D this spring. Had plenty in hand last time so big shout in his hat-trick bid despite a 7 lb weights rise.

C&D winner but pulled up in handicap chases at Exeter and Huntingdon on his last two runs for Chris Gordon. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence.

Modest maiden hurdler but he comes here on the back of a good third of 9 in handicap at Newton Abbot (21.6f, heavy) 36 days ago, left with lot to do. Much respected starting out over fences.

Returned to form from out of the blue in 10-runner handicap chase over C&D 30 days ago. Needs to back it up now from a 3 lb higher mark.

Course winner but it's now 14 runs since that victory and he came in a below-par third of 5 to Jack Sparrow Grey in handicap chase over C&D 18 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Made a winning start over fences at Plumpton in April 2023 but hasn't managed to add to that in 7 subsequent starts. 3 lb out of the handicap too so others are preferred.

Gained a first win over fences at Newton Abbot last summer. Hasn't been able to match that form since and is 6 lb "wrong" in the weights here.

Forecasts

Jack Sparrow Grey (11/10), Summer In Milan (9/2), Mister Upton (13/2), Electric Jet (7/1), Gorcombe Moonshine (14/1), Noah's Light (14/1), Bredon Hill Dart (22/1), Millies Mite (25/1), Pleasure Garden (28/1)

Verdict

JACK SPARROW GREY hasn't looked back since sent over fences and a 7 lb hike in the weights for his impressive recent C&D victory doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from going 3-3 in this sphere. Electric Jet is next on the list now he reverts to his optimum trip, with in-form hurdler Summer In Milan and chasing newcomer Bredon Hill Dart also in the mix.
