10/1
Showed aptitude for hurdling on debut in that sphere at Plumpton last December. Has failed to build on that in 3 subsequent starts, including on recent return from a break in Sweden where he was a well-held second, but it's possible that this former point winner will do better now sent chasing.

Ended losing run in a Worcester handicap chase in July, but his 'good days' are become increasingly scarce and he's suffered 3 heavy defeats since.

Pulled up on chase debut in January, but left that (and his bumper/hurdles form) well behind when making all over this C&D during the spring. Has followed that with a series of respectable efforts in defeat and he's one of the more appealing candidates.

Not seen out under Rules since pulling up in a Newton Abbot handicap hurdle in October 2023 and she was safely held when last of 3 on chase debut in July of that year. Has proved consistent between the flags since, but it's hard to know what to expect of her now back under Rules.

Hurdles winner for Tom Symonds who opened chase account for this yard at Uttoxeter in July. Below par in this sphere and over hurdles since, but has edged back to that Uttoxeter winning mark and will be a threat if able to get back on track.

Some fair hurdles form to his name, albeit without managing to hit the target from 9 attempts. Record in this sphere also stands at 0-9 and he'll probably come up short once again.

9/2
Belatedly doubled his tally over fences when taking a good-ground 21.6f Fontwell handicap last November. Form dipped thereafter and his reappearance display at Stratford wasn't at all inspiring, but he would have a real chance if staging a revival.

No worthwhile form to speak of following half-a-dozen appearances overall and he's very difficult to make a case for here.

Forecasts

Jimmyjeroo (7/4), Lelant (4/1), Boys Of Wexford (9/2), Greenways (6/1), Zacony Rebel (10/1), Clearisthewater (10/1), Designer Destiny (14/1), McGrath From Clune (25/1), Megascope (125/1)

Verdict

JIMMYJEROO's sole previous visit here resulted in an all-the-way C&D success in April and, likely to come on for his recent return from a 12-week break at Market Rasen, he looks the most solid option. Irish point winner Clearisthewater could be a threat if taking to fences at the first attempt, while Greenways and Boys of Wexford are both capable when in the mood.
