Lee 'Bazza' Jenkinson Memorial Handicap Chase

Big improver with cheekpieces added when winning four times over hurdles (2m4f to 3m) in the spring; last success was off only 1lb lower but he struggled in his last hurdle run and was pulled up on chase debut at Sedgefield (40-1) last month.

C&D winner who is on a dangerous mark but he's lost his way and looked reluctant before being pulled up behind Mcgregors Charge at Perth in August; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.

Overall record of 0-21 but he was placed behind Ballydangan over C&D in June and wasn't beaten far behind two of today's rivals here in August; still lightly raced over fences and he could be in the mix.

Winning pointer but he's generally struggled under rules including in three hurdle runs at Ayr (3m/2m4f) early this year; still lightly raced and now goes handicapping over fences but he needs improvement after 209 days off.

Record of 1-9 over hurdles; made low-key start over fences at Cartmel in July but he's justified support over C&D (Killybegs Jet Lady second) and at Perth (3m, good) in two subsequent runs; has a penalty for his win last Thursday but he's on a roll and is open to more progress in this sphere; key player.
