3/1
Notched 5 victories over fences on heavy ground in 2023/24. Winless since but turn may not be far away judged on 2 runner-up efforts this season, though needs to shrug off a below-par run at Hereford 19 days ago.

3/1
Not the most straightforward (finds little) but proved consistent last term and it's hard to pick too many holes in this season's efforts, stamina the obvious excuse at Windsor last time.

10/3
Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who left chase bow well behind fitted with this headgear when runner-up at Taunton 4 weeks ago, deserving some extra credit having probably raced closer to the pace than ideal. Needs considering.

8/1
Sporadic form but easily best effort over fences when third of 5 at Uttoxeter 2 months ago, likely to have been in the thick of things had he jumped better. Change of headgear and down in trip.

22/1
Fairly useful winner over fences for Richard Bandey and made a respectable return at Leicester but underlined his inconsistency for current connections when running poorly next 3 starts.

13/2
A fair 2m chase winner in France in May. Offered something to work on both starts for this yard but not enough to warrant serious interest.

13/2
Reliable sort who won for the fifth time in this sphere here (20f) on Boxing Day. Respectable third next 2 starts and back down in trip having finished tired at Sedgefield 10 days ago. Change of headgear.

Forecasts

Royal Mer (3/1), Joe Cotton (3/1), Jack Black (10/3), Raffles Hermes (13/2), Begin The Luck (13/2), Better Off Alone (8/1), Wewillgowithplanb (22/1)

Verdict

JACK BLACK responded well to this headgear when second at Taunton and remains unexposed. Royal Mer had been knocking on the door before his latest run, while Better Off Alone's latest effort at Uttoxeter was encouraging.

  1. Jack Black10/3
  2. Royal Mer3/1
  3. Better Off Alone8/1
