Verdict

SIXTY PLUS looks to have been shrewdly campaigned by the excellent James Owen yard and can make a winning start in handicaps. Dubai Venture and Max Of Stars are feared most.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
1	Progressive 4-time winner over hurdles last summer. Caught the eye on qualifying run at Pontefract (66/1) earlier this month. On a very attractive opening mark given what he achieved over jumps. Should capitalise with cheekpieces on for first time in this sphere. 1st Pick 1 Sixty Plus (Ire) Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: James Owen J: Rossa Ryan T: James Owen	100	-	-	-	29%	5/2

4	Enhanced fine Pontefract record when readily landing a 0-53 handicap there last time. That's likely to prove solid form for the grade, and he looks capable of running a big race off 4 lb higher. 2nd Pick 4 Dubai Venture (Ire) Jockey: Tom Eaves Trainer: Tina Jackson J: Tom Eaves T: Tina Jackson	99	-	-	-	25%	3/1
Analysis Enhanced fine Pontefract record when readily landing a 0-53 handicap there last time. That's likely to prove solid form for the grade, and he looks capable of running a big race off 4 lb higher.
3	Free-going sort. Borderline fairly useful over hurdles. Sole Flat win came over C&D last autumn. Bettered that when runner-up at Ripon on the back of another breathing operation last month. Every chance if bouncing back from slightly disappointing hurdle run latest. 3rd Pick 3 Max Of Stars (Fr) Jockey: Harry Russell Trainer: Ollie Pears J: Harry Russell T: Ollie Pears	99	-	-	-	20%	4/1
