Southwell Race 2

Rca Summer Jumps Championship Handicap Chase

Prize Money: $11,346

FRENCH SYMPHONY (1) hinted at potential in seven hurdling starts. Pedigree suggests he might be more effective over fences. Improvement anticipated. WE GOT YOUR BACK (3) finished second past three attempts. Creeping up the weights. Entitled to be thereabouts. ALSHADHIAN (4) had wind surgery ahead of chasing debut at Stratford. Unseated at the fifth fence so we didn't get to see the full extent of his potential. Dangerous to ignore. ENSEL DU PERCHE (5) is not getting any younger. Just 1kg higher than when winning at Catterick (3150m) in March and cannot be discounted.

Impressive in recent runs. Freshened for 31 days. Last start finished third in a small field at Hereford on May 9 over 3900m, 22 len behind Moonshine Man with 70kg at $3.80. The start before that; finished fourth of 10 starters at Fontwell Park on March 28 over 3500m, 14 len behind Boston Boy with 70kg at $8.50. Found his best form now. Terrific to break through.

Last start didn't finish the race at Bangor-On-Dee on May 17 over 3500m. Before that finished third of 10 starters at Warwick on April 24 over 3200m, 5.5 len behind Gwennie May Jem carrying 76kg at $21. Sure to improve again. Cannot be written off.

Recent form impressive for this race. Last outing finished second of 8 runners at Perth on May 15 over 4000m, 3 len behind Stumps Or Slips carrying 70kg at $10. Race before finished second of 7 runners at this track on April 15 over 4100m, 1.0 len behind Pep Talking with 71kg at $8. Best form over the jumps stacks up well.

Third-up today. Resuming finished fifth of 8 runners at Bangor-On-Dee on April 24 over 3900m, 64 len behind Rock Hurley with 73kg at $26. Second run from a spell lost his rider at Stratford-On-Avon on May 31 over 3400m. Can hit back hard here. Rates well and is a definite winning chance.
