JILAIJONE’s losing run is mounting up but there was no shame in being readily brushed aside by the thriving Double Power at Fontwell on his most recent outing, especially with that one extending his winning sequence in a competitive Cheltenham handicap last week, so David Pipe’s 5-y-o is well worth another chance from an easing mark. Solar System and Baskerville head up the opposition in an interesting affair

Denis is sadly missed by his family and friends.

BARLOVENTO added to his bumper success when getting up in the nick of time to make a winning hurdles debut at Carlisle and he’s fancied to defy a penalty at the chief expense of useful bumper performer Ma Shantou, who could improve markedly with hurdling experience now under his belt Rubber Ball made a promising enough start in a Cheltenham bumper last month and should have a future over jumps.

With Jack Hogan in the saddle, THE FLIER BEGLEY has proved strong at the finish when winning his last 2 starts, successful over C&D on the first occasion, and he can go on to land the hat-trick in his current form. Ballycamus could be the main danger

COPERNIC DU MAZET took a big step forward on his fencing bow at Bangor and looked the probable winner when coming down 2 out so is fancied to make amends here.

Chris Cool has his jumping issues but is very dangerous if keeping the mistakes down, with Butler’s Brief likely to be on the premises, too.
