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.

2	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. 1st Pick 2 Big John Wayne (Ire) Jockey: Derek Fox Trainer: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore J: Derek Fox T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	96	-	-	-	34%

6	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. 2nd Pick 6 Tommy Combats (Ire) Jockey: Callum Bewley Trainer: Martin Todhunter J: Callum Bewley T: Martin Todhunter	100	-	-	-	34%

3	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. 3rd Pick 3 Jaccours (Fr) Jockey: Sean Bowen Trainer: Olly Murphy J: Sean Bowen T: Olly Murphy	95	-	-	-	50%
