KEPAK Handicap Steeplechase

Jasko Des Dames arrives here with experience over today's trip and going, and our rating of 137 puts him clear at the head of this field. A second five starts back underpins his quality, and 22 days between runs suggests he comes here fresh; he's winless in recent starts, but this is the one to beat.

Ma Jacks Hill won two starts back and was third three starts back, showing he retains the class to threaten at this level, and has experience of today's trip and conditions; the chief concern is a trainer firing at just 2% in the past fortnight.

A winner two starts back but unseated last time out, and that jumping frailty is the obvious concern for A Law Of Her Own; she has run over today's trip and going, and 159 lb is no easy task, though her form profile gives her every right to be competitive.

Winless in his last five starts and part of a trainer mired at 0/25 in the past fortnight, Intense Approach nonetheless ranks second of eight on our figures and has run over today's trip and going — the main risk is that elusive recent form simply continues.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked seventh of eight on our figures, Mickie Angel looks hard to fancy here; he has run over today's trip and going before, and a third last time out plus second two starts back show some consistency, but 156 lb is a stiff burden to overcome.
