103 Expert View: Pulled up in a handicap chase here latest where keen and went too fast; off a short-break; effective 2m5f, acts on good; hurdles winner here, likely capable of better over fences.
94 Expert View: Pulled up in a handicap chase here latest where never travelled; off a short-break; effective around 2m4f, acts on soft, good; frustrating type but player on best recent form.
91 Expert View: Yard won this last year; scored by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Market Rasen penultimate start; flattened out after late error, ran to form last time; effective 2m1f-2m5f; may remain ahead of mark judged on point form.
95 Expert View: Back on last winning mark, returned to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Perth last time; stays 3 1/4m, acts on good to soft, suited by sound surface; needs to build on latest.
Verdict
JETTY MAY did too much too soon failing to settle on her chase debut earlier in the summer but she should be capable of much better judged on her strong Irish point form. She was a hurdles winner at this venue over a similar distance so will appreciate the drop in trip and can defeat Mcgregors Charge who returned to form last time having dropped back to his last winning mark. Hatos was disappointing last time but he had proven consistent previously. He has a poor strike rate so is vulnerable for the win but could gain a place on the podium.
