Jaminoz

8st 12lb

J: Lexie Clarkson

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

4-27 at Hamilton, which has dominated his itinerary but he also has two wins elsewhere; made a respectable return to Flat over C&D two weeks ago under Lexie Clarkson and could build on that to get seriously involved.

Four-time course winner, most recently over today's trip (good to soft) in September; ended 2025 with two below-par hurdle runs, though, and would appeal more on ground slower than good.

Form & Verdict
Over three years since his only win (1m2f, good; in Ireland); slow start to the year but he shaped better when third of seven behind Ask Peter over C&D last week, keeping on in the closing stages; 2lb lower today and should give it another good go.
