Verdict
Second in maidens at Down Royal and Navan in his two runs to date over timber, Jimmy Chou Pecos AA will be hoping to make it third-time lucky here but faces no straightforward task. Chase A Fortune landed the odds at Catterick in February but was turned over when even shorter in the betting at Sedgefield last month and doesn’t look one to rely upon. BALLYPOREEN is also penalised but bolted up on his first run for Donald McCain at Musselburgh and may have more to come.
