9/4

Likeable sort who displayed a willing attitude when adding to his tally over fences at Worcester in July and exploited a lower hurdles mark under an attacking ride here in September. However, well held next 2 starts and out of luck in a couple of weak points since.

15/2

On a long losing sequence under Rules, but managed to score between the flags in March (also chased home a promising one last time) and he could have a part to play now venturing into hunter company.

6/1

Failed to get competitive on hunter debut here in January but bagged a point on his latest appearance in March and he's dangerous to discount.

Forecasts

Jeffery's Cross (5/6), My Gift To You (9/4), Slipway (6/1), Peaches And Cream (15/2), Myth Buster (10/1)

It was a pretty competitive hunter chase that JEFFERY'S CROSS bagged at Newbury and, with this stiffer test no problem at all, he is taken to enhance his fine record in this sphere. Peaches And Cream is second choice ahead of Slipway.
