Verdict

It remains to be seen if JUKEBOX JOKER will build on his improved reappearance success at Warwick but the fact that he still has low mileage offers hope in that respect. The 6-y-o gets the nod ahead of Getaway With You and Thank You Blue.

6	Failed to measure up to market expectations in handicaps at Chepstow and Ffos Las on final 2 starts of last season but looked an improved model when striking on recent reappearance at Warwick (19f, soft). Major claims up 5 lb if able to build on that. 1st Pick 6 Jukebox Joker (Ire) Jockey: Isabel Williams Trainer: Evan Williams J: Isabel Williams T: Evan Williams	100	-	-	-	36%

2	Thrived since a tongue strap was combined with cheekpieces, landing a quickfire hurdles hat-trick at Lingfield in December. Ponderous jumping proved costly when second at Fakenham (23.4f, soft) recently but he's usually pretty efficient in that department and is of strong interest back down in trip. 2nd Pick 2 Getaway With You Jockey: Nick Slatter Trainer: David Killahena & Graeme Mcpherson J: Nick Slatter T: David Killahena & Graeme Mcpherson	98	-	-	-	20%

1	Dual winner of handicap hurdles off higher marks than this last spring. Hasn't really threatened since but he has won round here in the past and will be a serious player if back to something like his best. 3rd Pick 1 Thank You Blue Jockey: Lewis Stones Trainer: Jennie Candlish J: Lewis Stones T: Jennie Candlish	99	-	-	-	23%
