RACE SUMMARY

A few with chances, but CAPTAIN COBAJAY is fancied to get back in the winning groove now he reverts to fences given he still figures on a winning mark. Veteran Away For Slates rates the obvious threat under a 7lb penalty for his recent Plumpton victory, with in-form duo Cawthorne and Cousin Oscar not taken lightly either.

RACE SUMMARY

BLUEUE AWAY has shown only modest form under Rules to date but her latest effort over hurdles was more encouraging and she scored easily on both outings between the flags earlier in her career, so she’s worth taking a chance on switched to chasing after a break. Pardon Me and Makety are both formidable dangers.

RACE SUMMARY CALVINIST is in the form of his life right now and a 6lb rise for Uttoxeter may not be enough to prevent the hat-trick. Pagero has contested much warmer handicaps than this on his last two starts, so he’s a threat, as is Shetland Bus if none the worse for a slip up at Kelso last week.

RACE SUMMARY GOLFE CLAIR was well on top of a subsequent winner on his yard debut at Sedgefield last month and looks capable of defying a penalty. Roque It could get back on track following a break/wind operation and is feared most, while Renardeau can also have a say if seeing out this longer trip.

RACE SUMMARY The vote goes to LONDON EYE, who has taken well to hurdling and the manner of his C&D novice success suggests that he has more to offer. The 5-y-o may have most to fear from Burristo and Hackbridge, both of whom are also making their handicap debuts in this sphere.

The latter has been knocking on the door on the Flat of late and he is second choice.
