12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has very modest 1-31 career strike-rate but was clear second to a big improver on last month's seasonal/stable at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) and is also suited by this C&D; leading contender. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
The final leg of his four-timer for Brian Ellison two winters back was this race off 4lb lower than today; never fired on all cylinders last term but reappeared for new yard in November with a sparkling win, employing new tactics as he made all at Carlisle to come home 9l clear; back up 8lb, so needs to be back at his very best, but he's one for the shortlist. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Has had a patchy campaign and was pulled up in the Midland National last time; however, he showed some spark at Musselburgh (3m7f, good to soft) in February and is just 1lb higher than when winning the Eider at Newcastle (4m1f, heavy) last season; not ruled out now back down in trip/grade. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Three-time winner over regulation fences but has struggled since returning from a break and was well behind two of these last time; now has tongue-tie fitted. |
8/1 |
|

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Triple chase winner in 2023-24 season (once over C&D); 0-10 in points in first half of 2025 and returned to racing under rules with two underwhelming runs towards end of last year, latterly when remote second to Gazette Bourgeoise here last month; revival needed. |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Dual course winner (3m/3m1f); not beaten far when fifth of six in C&D (good to soft) contest won by Ballycamus in December and didn't run badly in competitive Windsor marathon last month; can't be ignored off this mark. |
6/1 |

7th 9 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 162y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Front-runner who won two in a row in late 2024 (3m1f/3m, good/soft), on the second occasion off today's mark, and he ran pretty well over 3m4f at Haydock last March; hasn't run badly on either outing this season but needs something extra this afternoon. |
20/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Dual chase winner towards end of 2024 (3m1f/3m); only third of four behind Regarde at Haydock (3m4f, good) in March but wasn't beaten far; resumes on a workable mark and with Patrick Mullins a good jockey booking. |
9/1 |
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]
