Lots with chances but JAGWAR signed off a great novice chase campaign with success in the Plate over C&D in March and can build on his eye-catching reappearance third here to quickly resume winning ways. Booster Bob also has better days ahead of him and rates the main threat with the form of his Newbury victory having been well advertised. Last year's winner Moon d'Orange is another who could have a say along with Javert Allen, Boombawn and Uncle Bert in this cracking handicap.

About The Selections
Harry Allwood
Booster Bob Conditions will be in his favour and he's produced some strong form in handicaps. A further 9lb rise demands more, but it's unlikely he's finished improving yet.
Dave Nevison
Prairie Wolf Ran well on this card two years ago, and seems a consistent, and possibly much-improved, chaser. He looks a good each-way bet.
Martin Dixon
Donnacha With 12-1 on offer, Donnacha makes strong each-way appeal as he has been running extremely well in defeat this season.
The RaceiQ Tip
Jagwar His data at Cheltenham - jumping, finishing speeds and stride pattern - make for agreeable reading and his latest effort here needs marking up as he raced in rear in a race where the first two home were always prominent

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: The pace doesn’t look like being overly strong here and Javert Allen should still be served best by being ridden prominently: Booster Bob might not benefit from being ridden as far back as usual for all the gallop is likely to be a reasonable one.
Individual Price Hint: Hurricane Bay has traded at more than 2 times Betfair SP twice when winning during its last 5 starts: Boombawn traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP 3 times on 4 of its last 5 starts.
