Jukebox Annie

10st 8lb

J: Ben Godfrey

T: Claire Hitch

Has made little impact since switched to handicaps and, though well supported at Taunton (2m, good) in January, failed to justify the money, struggling a long way out and eventually pulling up; off since and now 14lb lower than her opening mark but can only be watched at present.

4 yo Gelding

OR:

Form & Verdict
Two promising runs in bumpers at Worcester (good ground) in the summer but ran to a barely modest level when fourth on his 2m2f Exeter hurdle debut (good to soft) 23 days ago; lightly raced profile provides the scope for improvement but plenty more will be needed to trouble Tuxedo Junction.

Lokis Mischief

11st 12lb

J: Lorcan Williams

T: Chester Williams

Placed over hurdles; only his second run over fences when doing it fairly comfortably here two weeks ago (2m5f, good; fine on softer) and he promises to stay this far; every chance off a 6lb higher mark.

Lokis Mischief

12st 0lb

J: Lorcan Williams

T: Chester Williams

Placed over hurdles and again on his chase debut at Exeter when fitted in a first-time hood; that aid is missing here but stepping up from 2m3f looks favourable.

Form & Verdict
Ten chase wins since last seen over hurdles in 2020, the latest when digging deep at regular haunt Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in August; below-form fourth of five at Wincanton last time but still looks the main threat to Tuxedo Junction.
