Mikhailovich^t⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 112

7/4

Made a winning start over fences in 2m5f handicap at Market Rasen in June 2024. Off 14 months later but found only one too good back hurdling at Worcester in August. Should have more to come as a chaser granted a clear run at things.

Form: 136P/1-2

Jet Smart²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Bryan Carver| T: D Summersby| OR: 110| C| D

4/1

Prolific between the flags and continued the good work back under Rules during the summer, winning 2½m handicap chases at Worcester and this venue. Not in the same form both subsequent starts at up to 3m and others more persuasive kept to this distance.

Forecasts

Another Lord (11/8), Mikhailovich (7/4), Fern Hill (11/4), Jet Smart (4/1), Golden Ambition (9/2), Impatient (9/1), Better Off Alone (12/1), First Lord De Cuet (16/1)

MIKHAILOVICH presumably hasn't been the easiest to train but this mark looks within his range back over fences so he's the call over the returning Fern Hill.
