6/1

Much improved when switched to fences last season, completing a 4-timer at Kelso (21.6f, good to soft) in March. However, ended the campaign with poor efforts at Uttoxeter/Perth and stopped the slide only partially back at aforementioned track on reappearance. Drops in grade.

13/2

Resumed winning ways in a first-time visor at Hexham in March, responding well to a positive ride. Went close on return at Carlisle, an uncharacteristic late error arguably costing him the win, and shaped similarly back at that venue last time, still in front when mistake 2 out. Not taken lightly.

4/1

Fair winning hurdler who offered something to work on sent chasing when fourth of 5 in minor event at Carlisle (15.9f, soft) on debut over fences 11 days ago. Step back up in trip in his favour and open to improvement.

Choose A Copper^t²⁶¹

12/1

Successful Rules debut in a Hexham novice hurdle in October 2023 and also hit the target starting out over fences there on his reappearance last term. Struggled thereafter (has undergone another breathing op since latest run in March), but he's down to a good mark and evidently goes well fresh.

4/1

Got off the mark over fences at Musselburgh in February and held his form well in defeat thereafter, briefly looking in control before collared run-in at Perth (23.8f, soft) in April. Had undergone a breathing operation prior to another respectable effort at Wetherby on reappearance.

11/4

Won 2 of his 5 starts over hurdles last season but was beaten by more than his 6-month absence when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, heavy, 4/1) 51 days ago, dropping away approaching straight. Makes chase/handicap debut.

20/1

Back on track when second over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2½m, good to soft) in June. Not in the same form back there later that month but she showed an aptitude for chasing back from a break at Carlisle 31 days ago.

Form: 330-285

Trac^b²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 101| C| D

14/1

Course winner who followed a creditable effort with a poor one when fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, heavy) 23 days ago. Blinkers on for 1st time. Needs to bounce back.

Forecasts

Truckers Cruising (2/1), Ailt An Chorrain (11/4), Joecooker (4/1), One More Stroke (4/1), Walk On Quest (6/1), Jet Legs (13/2), Choose A Copper (12/1), Trac (14/1), Gilbertina (20/1), Dream Jet (20/1)

JET LEGS has looked back in top form this autumn, an uncharacteristic late error costing him any chance at Carlisle 39 days ago. He's selected down in grade, while Choose A Copper reappears on a handy mark and is evidently capable fresh. Joecooker is another to note now handicapping in this sphere.
