11/10

Better than ever and likeably consistent over hurdles and fences since joining the James Owen stable, bagging a fourth win for the yard in staying Sedgefield handicap chase 15 days ago. Up another 6 lb but looks hard to beat.

Forecasts

Ivane (11/10), Shantou Lucky (15/8), Jeffery's Cross (11/4), Moroder (20/1)

IVANE continues to thrive for James Owen and can garner a fifth victory for the yard on the back of his ready Sedgefield success. Neither of his opponents, thriving stablemate Shantou Lucky and Jeffery's Cross, can be ruled out.
