SHANTOU LUCKY is another advertisement for the prowess of the James Owen yard when it comes to breathing new life into out-of-form recruits from rival stables. Indeed, the 8-y-o is unbeaten in three quickfire appearances for new connections and he is a sizeable step ahead of the handicapper here (officially 9 lb 'well-in') following his fautless display back over fences at Uttoxeter on Tuesday. Mcgregors Charge gets the nod ahead of Pooroldmackley for forecast purposes.

VerdictHas returned to form with a vengeance since joining James Owen and equippped with a visor, making it 3-3 for the yard with minimum fuss in a Uttoxeter handicap chase (2½m, good) on Tuesday, just a day after scoring over hurdles at Worcester. Hard to oppose under a penalty. - 3. Mcgregors ChargeJ: Ben GodfreyT: Ella PickardF: 2-8232413

VerdictProved pretty consistent at a lowly level since switched to chasing and, helped by the favourite's weak finish, finally opened his account under a positive ride at Perth (3m, good to firm) last month. Didn't do much wrong when third at Stratford next time and should give another good account.

VerdictWinning pointer who made it second time lucky over fences for Tim Easterby, landing a Market Rasen novices' handicap in good style on Boxing Day 2023. Best effort since when runner-up at the same course last spring, but subsequent absence is naturally a concern. One of 3 runners for her yard.- 5.

VerdictBack-to-back winner over fences/hurdles in April and added to his tally when accounting for 10 rivals in a Worcester handicap hurdle (23f, good) recently. Just 1 lb higher back over fences and should make his presence felt, granted a clean round of jumping (didn't jump well on latest chase start).

VerdictImmediate improvement with a visor enlisted last month, bagging back-to-back C&D handicap chases within the space of 9 days. Failed to deliver when bidding for the hat-trick at Fontwell recently, though, and now tried in first-time blinkers.
