Salley Gardens^p,t⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: J Coulson| OR: 114| D

9/2

Won twice in small-field chases earlier this year but below that level in 4 starts for current yard. Has been cut some slack by the handicapper. however, and booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye.

Form: 1-1P754

Cartonne^t¹⁸²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 110

7/1

Found improvement sent chasing in 2023, winning 4 times at this sort of trip. Proved inconsistent since, though, and doesn't have a great record fresh.

Form: 4U2PP3-

Midnight Jewel^p¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 110| C

9/2

Likeable front runner who returned to winning ways at Fontwell last month. Ran too badly to be true at Huntingdon since and is very much the type to bounce back.

Form: 17731P

Juggernaut^t³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 105| BF| C

1/1

Dual winner over hurdles who made a promising start in this sphere when second of 4 in handicap chase (10/11) at Newton Abbot (16.3f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Likely more to come yet, particularly over this longer trip.

Form: 731-322

Mix Of Clover^p²²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 102

8/1

Wouldn't be the most reliable overall but managed to get his head in front twice over fences last year. Recent efforts have lacked sparkle, however, and makes limited appeal here.

Form: F-32736

Forecasts

Juggernaut (1/1), Salley Gardens (9/2), Midnight Jewel (9/2), Cartonne (7/1), Mix Of Clover (8/1)

This can go to JUGGERNAUT, who should have learnt plenty from his promising Newton Abbot chase debut. Salley Gardens is becoming well treated and may provide the chief threat.
