Paul Ferguson's Jumpers To Follow David Whitaker Handicap Steeple Chase (gbb Race)

Third last time out, and pulled up two starts back, The Real Whacker arrives 108 days fresh but has experience over today's trip and going; yet to win in his last five starts, though our rating of 165 marks him as the one to beat under 168 lb.

No comments available for this runner.

Twice placed in his last three starts, with a win four starts back giving him a winning profile to draw on, and the trainer striking at 27% in the last fortnight adds potent support; the main concern is returning from a 140-day absence carrying 162 lb.

Tamarind Bay has winning form in his recent starts, with back-to-back victories three and four starts back, but he is ranked seventh of nine on our figures and carries a stiff 156 lb, making it hard to fancy him competitively here despite his experience over today's trip and going.

Boston Rover has winning form in his last five starts, landing back-to-back victories, but two pulled-up efforts since — including last time out — raise obvious stamina or soundness questions; the 32-day break and 152 lb burden make him a difficult proposition, despite having experience over today's trip and going.
