4.43 Fontwell – ELECTRIC JET (1pt win – 6/1 generally)
JACK SPARROW GREY has won his last two starts over course and distance since fitted with cheekpieces, but today’s slower ground is not necessarily ideal, and the form of his latest win has been let down by the runner-up. I’d rather take a chance on ELECTRIC JET for in-form Charlie Longsdon. The six-year-old finished well beaten over 2m at Worcester on his latest start but is back up in trip today and Sam Twiston-Davies, on board for February’s half-length second at Ludlow, takes over from David Bass. The first-time cheekpieces could also bring about improvement, as his trainer is 31 from 199 with this headgear (15.6% strike-rate) for a profit of £9.33 to a £1 level stake at SP (expected winners = 23.55, A/E = 1.32). If we omit the hurdlers from the stats his record with first-time cheekpieces becomes 21 from 96 (21.9%) for a profit of £48.60 (expected winners = 13.19, A/E = 1.59).

This heritage handicap has often been a springboard to Group-race glory, as we can see from the…
