Verdict

The strong-travelling JACKPOT CASH should be well suited to the sharp nature of this track, and he can make it 2 wins from 3 starts for his new yard. Getoverthathill may be able to bounce back from a disappointing effort returned to a sounder surface, while Bobby's Fortune and Gloire d'Athon could improve for the step up in trip.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob
1	Showed promise in novice hurdles and over fences when trained by Evan Williams. Improved to score over smaller obstacles on stable debut (20.4f) and unlucky not to finish closer on best chase effort to date when runner-up at Bangor (17.4f) last month. May well gain compensation back over hurdles. 1st Pick 1 Jackpot Cash (Fr) Jockey: Ciaran Gethings Trainer: James Owen J: Ciaran Gethings T: James Owen	100	-	-	-	36%

6	Proved a different proposition sent handicapping after 7 weeks off when landing 22f novice contest at Fontwell (good) in November, travelling well and drawing clear. The soft ground might have been his undoing when disappointing back in trip subsequently and may get back on track on better ground. 2nd Pick 6 Getoverthathill (Ire) Jockey: Rex Dingle Trainer: Chris Gordon J: Rex Dingle T: Chris Gordon	96	-	-	-	20%

4	Prolific early in his chasing career (winning 5 of his first 6 starts) but has lost his way over fences and fared little better in two starts over hurdles this season, for all he may be sharper for his latest run which came after a 3-month absence. Others have stronger claims. 3rd Pick 4 Gloire D'athon (Fr) Jockey: Tabitha Worsley Trainer: Sarah Humphrey J: Tabitha Worsley T: Sarah Humphrey	95	-	-	-	7%
