Joe Tizzard will be more than happy with how his horses have been running of late and JPR One can continue the hot streak at Exeter on Friday.
The seven-year-old was an exciting novice chaser last season, winning well at Newton Abbot and Lingfield and being desperately unlucky to part company with Brendan Powell at Cheltenham when clear at the last.
Things got a bit too hot in the Arkle at the Festival but starting out this term on a mark of 149 gives him scope to pick up a nice prize in the Bet MGM Haldon Gold Cup Handicap Chase before going back up in class.
JPR One is built to carry a big weight and this race has been a happy hunting ground for the Tizzard family, with Joe scoring with Elixir De Nutz 12 months ago after father Colin had prevailed with Cue Card and Eldorado Allen.
Kim Bailey is another trainer in cracking form and Brendas Asking is backed to follow up last month's Ludlow success by taking the ICL, Impact For A Sustainable Future Challenger Mares Handicap Hurdle.
The six-year-old was not disgraced in some hot novice contests last term and there was a lot to like about her return triumph, when the winning margin would have been more significant but for a stumble at the final flight.
Coco Mademoiselle went down by just a head on her seasonal reappearance at Worcester and can go one better in the Haldon 'Challenger' Stayers' Handicap Chase.
That was a very promising debut over the bigger obstacles for this unexposed mare and many of Dan Skelton's string have just needed that first outing.
Jamie Snowden has a nice bunch of young prospects and Laurens Bay can give him another novice winner in the Broadsword Building Success Maiden Hurdle at Fontwell.
The five-year-old son of Youmzain beat Electric Mason in a bumper here in March and lost nothing in defeat when second to the more experienced Vocito on his jumping bow at Stratford.
Helsgetaway can take advantage of having less on his plate in the At The Races App Form Study Maiden Hurdle at Hexham.
Lucinda Russell's charge showed ability in bumpers last season and should benefit from the experience of competing in a hot Wetherby novice first time out over timber.
On the Flat at Newcastle, Lima Sierra looks to be going the right way after a staying-on third on her all-weather debut at this venue.
With an extra furlong to travel, she is worth following in the Boost Your Acca At BetMGM Nursery Handicap.
Volenti has taken well to the Gosforth Park surface and built on a couple of solid placed efforts by justifying strong support to score recently.
Although only getting home by a head, the runner-up Tasever quickly went one better next time out and that pair pulled more than five lengths clear of the rest of the field. - Press Association
