Race Tip

JAX JUNIOR (4) has done nothing wrong in three fences starts. Rates a fascinating contender now among handicap company. The Lucy Wadham trained seven-year-old wasn't at his best when a held fourth in the Ascot G2 Noel Novices Chase so may do better eased in class following a wind-operation. Five-time chase winner ESCAPEANDEVADE (5) earns top marks for consistency and cannot be ignored after a good second in a handicap chase at Haydock recently. GUNSIGHT RIDGE (2) arrives two from four at this venue and might go well revisiting after a fair effort off 2lb higher at Cheltenham. DR T J ECKLEBURG (9) also makes appeal.
