Paul Ferguson's Jumpers To Follow Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:49 | Winning time: 5m 21.02s

Delpotro^h,t⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Daire James McConville⁽⁷⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 110| BF

6/1

Free-going front runner saves his best for Segdefield, seeing out a longer trip under an energy-conserving ride when winning there last month (19.3f) and running as well as ever when second at the track (16.4f) last time. Back up in trip/away from his favourite track here but respected nonetheless.

Form: 32-1P12

Jackpot Cash^h¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: James Owen| OR: 109| BF| D

7/2

Has thrived following a switch to this yard, scoring for fourth time (over hurdles/fences) in 2m5f chase at Sedgefield in May. Shaped as if still in good form on a couple of starts following a break and could be poised to resume winning ways back over fences.

Form: 11-21U6

Noble Park¹⁹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 108

7/5

Lightly raced maiden shaped well on handicap debut when 5½ lengths second to Almuhit (form franked subsequently) but underperformed in a valuable Punchestown handicap (19.4f) subsequently. Stoutly bred and may have more to offer now sent chasing by top yard.

Form: 60U220-

Imac Wood^t¹¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: James Bowen| T: Deborah Cole| OR: 108| CD

11/2

C&D winner wasn't beaten far when fifth in a 2½m handicap at Uttoxeter in July (had won the race the previous year) but has been absent since. James Bowen aboard for the first time and has the form to be competitive if ready to roll on reappearance.

Form: 136P-55

Mix Of Clover^p²⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 106| D

16/1

Inconsistent veteran was twice a winner last year and bounce back to justify support when winning a 5-runner handicap chase at Stratford (20.9f, good) 24 days ago, capitalising on a reduced mark. Up 4 lb here and not guaranteed to be in the same form.

Form: 327361

The Magus³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Conor Ring| T: Evan Williams| OR: 104

10/1

Low-mileage 5-y-o made a winning handicap hurdle debut at Chepstow (19.5f) last season but looked rusty over the same C&D on his return last month. Quickly sent chasing (bred to suit) and market should guide expectations on first start over fences.

Form: 5421-0

Mahler Moon^t,p³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 100

16/1

Has multiple breathing operations. Let down by his jumping on second start over fences over C&D last season but did break his duck in a Newbury handicap hurdle in March. Needed the run on reappearance last month but remains to be seen if he's closer to form returned to fences with headgear back on.

Form: 34315-P

Dark Soldier⁴⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 85

40/1

Runner-up in a maiden point in March 2024 (unplaced other 5 starts) but well beaten at long odds on his 3 runs under Rules (all over hurdles), showing a bit more on qualifying run at Uttoxeter in July. Upped in trip for chase debut but hard to confident unless market speaks in his favour.

Form: 2P6/886-

Forecasts

Noble Park (7/5), Jackpot Cash (7/2), Imac Wood (11/2), Delpotro (6/1), The Magus (10/1), Trapista (14/1), Mahler Moon (16/1), Mix Of Clover (16/1), Dark Soldier (40/1)

JACKPOT CASH has already won four times since joining James Owen and arrives in better heart than his last couple of form figures suggest. He can resume winning ways back over fences, with course winner Trapista feared most from a handy mark, if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect. Noble Park is an interesting chase debutant for a top yard if the betting indicates he's fit enough to do himself justice.
