Jack The Savage

Had dropped to a good mark and finally exploited it with a head success at Hereford (3m1f, good); that was a weak race but he's only 2lb higher and should give some less exposed rivals plenty to think about.

Form & Verdict
Back to form when 5l second at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) last month, and the way he stayed on suggests this longer trip should be well within his range; interesting candidate in first-time headgear for in-form yard.

Ten-race maiden but, the Ffos Las blip in January aside, he's acquitted himself well in defeat this season and his recent form at staying distances has shown clear progress, taking another step forward at Hereford (3m2f, good) last time with the addition of cheekpieces, coping well with the quicker ground; leading contender.

Maiden who has inconsistent chase form (P2P3) but looks one of the likelier players provided he backs up latest effort, namely creditable third at Warwick (3m); runs off the same mark.

Pulled up in two of three chase starts, the latest at Bangor after some guessy jumps; had run well when runner-up at Hereford (2m5f, good) in March, however, and should do better at some stage; tongue tied this time.

Has won two of five handicaps here, hurdles and fences (C&D; good), but he hasn't yet found his form since back from an absence and now tackles fences for the first time since pulling up twice at the end of 2024; below latest winning mark but questions remain.
