3/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 53 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Patrick Morris and, with record on turf standing at 0-11, he's probably worth taking on.

Below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (7f, good, 12/1) 36 days ago, doing too much too soon. First run for yard after leaving John Patrick Hayes and he could have a say.

Forecasts

Jackandthefox (4/1), Big Baby Bull (4/1), Sierra De Gredos (9/2), Sneddy Eddie (7/1), Mullacash Buzz (8/1), Navorrosse (11/1), James The Second (12/1), Drafted (12/1), Amanirenas (14/1), Gegenpressing (14/1), Shangar (18/1), Shuyak (25/1), Launch Time (25/1), Jungle Jungle (40/1), Petite Madame (50/1), Oreeda (50/1), Bella Mistiko (100/1)

Verdict

Though JACKANDTHEFOX remains winless following 18 attempts, he hasn't done a great deal wrong since switched to this yard and, with the step back to this trip a plus, a deserved first taste of success may well be on the cards for the 6-y-o here. Gegenpressing will be a danger to all if able to get back on track, while Sierra De Gredos and Sneddy Eddie also enter calculations, along with Mullacash Buzz and Navorrosse.
