1st Jun 2024 Heavy 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner at around 3m on good/good to soft; good second over fences at Sedgefield in November (3m3f, soft); pulled up last two starts; returns after wind surgery; conditions suit. |

17th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins over hurdles but 0-4 chasing; clear of remainder when second at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft) in November but pulled up either side of that and it's difficult to know how he'll perform here. |

Returned to form with a creditable second off this mark at Haydock (3m1f, soft) last month but that took his overall record to 1-29 and his sole win was in December 2020; others preferred. |

30th Mar 2024 Heavy 3m 1f 125y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
11yo who has won just one of his 28 races and was tailed off at Ludlow latest; however, the blinkers adopted then are replaced with his usual cheekpieces, in which he was running well previously; form of January's Plumpton fourth (3m4f, soft) has worked out very well; he's one to consider. |

20th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Had wind surgery last August and is 4-4 for his new yard since; first three of those were over about 3m-3m2f on good to soft but he coped admirably with a move up to 4m1f on heavy in the Eider at Newcastle last time, confidently ridden to challenge three out and to overcome an error two out by getting up close home; up another 8lb but remains capable of better and may well extend his winning sequence. |

24th Feb 2024 Heavy 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Had wind surgery last August and is 3-3 for his new yard since; edged it in a fine duel over 3m2f at Carlisle on first occasion, followed by two wins at about 3m and he drew 11l clear from four out when a heavily backed favourite at Musselburgh on latest; all those were on good to soft but he did well on soft to heavy in Ireland early in career; up another 11lb and markedly in trip too, but he's a rising force and may well have more in the tank. |

12th Apr 2024 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |

Three wins this season, the second over C&D in December (good to soft); disappointing when pulled up on good ground at Ascot last time; could bounce back. |

Three chase wins against own sex this season, the latest at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in January; not discredited when fourth over 2m7f there last month but faces a tougher task against males here. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Too good for dual subsequent course winner One True King when scoring over C&D (soft) in February, his third chase success this season; needs to bounce back from a poor run last month and would appeal more on slower ground, but still enters calculations. |

24th Mar 2024 Good 2m 5f 8y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Benefited from Hurlerontheditch's last-fence fall when scoring on seasonal/chase debut at Warwick (3m, soft) and has added two further chase wins since (2m5f, good/3m, soft); would appeal slightly more on slower ground but might still be on the upgrade and features prominently in calculations. |
11/2 |
Verdict
Jacks Touch going up in trip is an appealing proposition but preference is nevertheless for SPECIAL ACCEPTANCE who has been staging something of a revival and finished his race off with verve over C&D last time. Motion In Limine is third on the list, given that Rockinastorm was flattered to win on his chase debut.[Richard Austen]
