Veteran has a fine record at this course and while well beaten in couple of starts this season, both those performances are easily explained. Reasonable to expect a better effort down in grade.

4/1
Point winner hasn't stood much racing but shaped like a chaser in the making when running to a fairly useful level over hurdles. Tough ask over an inadequate trip on reappearance/chase debut last month and he can make more impact here.

11/10
Value for extra when off the mark in a slowly-run 2½m Ffos Las maiden on heavy ground last month. More needed on chase/handicap debut but this low-mileage 7-y-o is in excellent hands and could improve for fences.

Progressive when winning three of his first 4 start over fences in 2023 but had a significant lay-off prior to finishing well held in pair of handicap hurdles here this winter. Questions to answer back over fences.

Off mark at second time of asking over fences in 2m handicap here this time last year. Ran creditably without bettering that form subsequently and likely needed his comeback here in November. Off further 114 days since but is capable when fresh.

9/4
Likeable second-season chaser with form figures of 2221 over fences here, well-suited by truly-run 2m when winning her last month. Step back up in trip no problem and likely to be in the mix again if his jumping holds up.

Won 2m handicap chase on final start for Dan Skelton and step back in right direction on first start over fences for new yard here last time. Remains with stamina to prove on soft ground over 2½m, though.

Forecasts

Jaccours (11/10), Tommy Combats (9/4), Big John Wayne (4/1), Dubai Days (14/1), Dance Thief (16/1), One Mill Harbour (40/1), Don Occhetti (40/1)

Verdict

BIG JOHN WAYNE remains with potential as a chaser and looks well worth another chance following a forgivable chase debut here. Tommy Combats merits plenty of respect given his fine record over fences at this track, while Jaccours could improve on handicap/chase debut.

  1. Big John Wayne4/1
  2. Tommy Combats9/4
  3. Jaccours11/10
