The Jukebox Kid
There was lots to like about THE JUKEBOX KID's chase debut success at Carlisle and he can make light of a 9 lb rise with further progress highly likely. The surge which briefly took Zertakt clear between the last 2 fences on his Newcastle reappearance suggests he's on a good mark and he can give the selection most to think about ahead of Nicky Henderson's Southwell runner-up As The Fella Says.

This former point scorer was always likely to really come into his own over fences and he impressed when making a successful reappearance in a Carlisle novice handicap chase last month. Reopposing First Confession was 10 lengths back in third. Even a 9 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCarlisle2m 4f 198yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/12Ayr2m 4f 100yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle3/3Uttoxeter2m 3f 207yGood to SoftHurdle1/9- 6ZertaktJ: Charlie DeutschT: Venetia Williams/3342-2Age 79/29/24/1

French hurdle winner. Still a maiden over fences bit boasts some decent handicap form, including second on 3¾m Newcastle reappearance, looking in control in slowing going into the last. There was enough in that performance to think he can win off this sort of mark soon.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle3m 5f 190yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/9Newbury2m 7f 86ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/5Windsor3m 4f 162ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase4/11Newbury2m 6f 93yGood to SoftChase3/8Windsor2m 4f 42yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/9- 3First ConfessionJ: Brendan PowellT: Joe Tizzard171P-33Age 65/15/111/2

Successful on 2 of his 5 starts over hurdles last term and this point winner has shown even better form in defeat switched to handicap chases this season. Was 10 lengths behind reopposing The Jukebox Kid at Carlisle on the first occasion, though.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park3mGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/7Carlisle2m 4f 198yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/12Cheltenham2m 7f 213yGood to SoftHurdlepu/20Ascot2m 3f 58yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/4Newbury2m 4f 118yGood to SoftHurdle7/7- 7Risk De PluieJ: Tom BellamyT: Ben Clarke4/322-2Age 66/115/213/2

Winning pointer who displayed fairly useful form when runner-up on his first two starts in maiden hurdles last winter. Things didn't go to plan on his final 2 outings but he bounced back with a promising second on 20.5f Southwell chase debut/reappearance.

Point/bumper/maiden hurdle winner who completed the set when seeing off 12 rivals in a 25f Fontwell handicap chase at Ffos Las in October. Good second of 8 at Uttoxeter since.

Pretty useful hurdler who should strip fitter for last month's return from a long absence at Windsor. Switches to fences on the back of that (every chance when late faller in point at start of career) with Harry Cobden a positive booking.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWindsor3mGood to SoftHurdle3/5Ayr3m 70ySoft (Good To Soft In Places)Hurdle7/10Haydock Park3m 58ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/12Plumpton3m 217yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/7Cheltenham2m 5fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle7/20- 4HillcrestJ: Sam Twiston-DaviesT: Henry Daly4PU3-3Age 1022/122/120/1

Useful novice hurdler in 2021/22 season but off for 2½ years after and hasn't hit the same heights over fences since. Didn't see his race out on 3m Warwick reappearance and likely vulnerable up against a bunch of much younger rivals.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWarwick3mGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/5Warwick3mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/3Ffos Las2m 3f 83ySoft (Heavy in places)Chaseur/6Cheltenham3m 1f 56yGood to SoftChasepu/9Haydock Park2m 5f 127ySoftChase4/6
