Form & Verdict

Progressing well since switching to handicaps, having finished second and then completing a hat-trick; escapes a penalty for his latest wide-margin win in a 0-130 at Aintree on Sunday, which suggests it will be very tough to deny him a four-timer.

J: Jonjo O’Neill Jr

Has come a long way in a short space of time, as it was a low-grade Cartmel 3m1f handicap he won in late August (heavy) and yet he now bids for a five-timer after bolting up in three further handicaps at about 3m on good ground; penalised accordingly now in novice company but will surely have an edge in fitness and he'll be ridden positively as usual.

Inconsistent sort who got off the mark, following a couple of runs over fences, at Hexham (3m, good) in June in first-time blinkers; he dropped out tamely in the same headgear at Perth last month and a first-time visor now goes on; difficult to predict.

Justified support when winning on handicap debut at Ludlow (2m5f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in April and backed that up with a good second off 7lb higher the following month at Sedgefield (2m4f, good); failed to match that level when a beaten favourite latest but has had wind surgery since and again enters calculations.

Drew clear to win by 20l at Market Rasen (3m3f, good) last summer but did not get competitive at Cheltenham (3m1f) in the autumn or when returning from layoff in 2m4f hurdle last month; needs to get back on track and will probably be of greater interest when moving back up in trip.
