FormscanBy Tom Weekes - JACKSONS GOLD is a ten-year-old-maiden fourth-season novice chaser but, almost contradictorily, appears unexposed and well handicapped. Some of his early hurdling form was good, defeating Easter's Irish National-fourth Frontal Assault to win at Thurles in 2020 while his recent chase form is also strong. In March he finished third to high-class Tactical Move and conceded weight to the useful runner-up, while at Tipperary in April he chased home Pinkerton, which subsequently won at the Punchestown festival. Bythesametoken drops in grade from the Aintree festival last month and while he isn't ahead of the handicapper and steps up slightly in distance,, had good form last year. Last year's winner Whatsafellatodo should strip fitter following a recent encouraging reappearance course run.
An extended handicap steeplechase for ten years old and upwards (130 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each steeplechase won.
