JACKPOT CASH - 3.40 Southwell (NAP)
JACKPOT CASH looks a really interesting contender back over timber in the two-and-a-half-mile handicap hurdle at Southwell. He was shaping with some promise in novice and maiden company last season and while it hasn't worked out for him since switching to fences this time around, he's now changed yards and joined James Owen from Evan Williams. A mark of 97 looks more than manageable based on the pick of his efforts from around this time last year and Alex Chadwick looks decent value for his 5lb claim at the moment.
FORTUNATE MAN - 2.50 Carlisle
FORTUNATE MAN may be 10lb higher in the ratings than when narrowly denied over Carlisle's three miles in early-December but he has since won at Aintree and was runner-up to Planned Paradise at Windsor last month when seemingly still in good form fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Open to further improvement as a lightly-raced six-year-old from a leading yard, there's every chance he can resume winning ways on Monday.
LAYLA LIZ - 6.00 Wolverhampton
LAYLA LIZ was evidently on an upward curve in three starts towards the end of 2024 and now goes handicapping for the first time at Wolverhampton. An opening mark of 87 is no gimme but she looked a bright sprinter going places when defying the penalty over this course and distance on Boxing Day and it would be no shock to see her shrug off the burden of top weight on her return from a 53-day break.
