In the claimer, Fait le Jojo is selected ahead of Chockdee and Not Today Sir. Rated 130, Fait le Jojo stands out here if able to get back to anywhere near his best form of the end of last year. Chockdee has recently won in this grade and, even though that success came over a longer trip, he can go well here. Pro Dancer has recently competed well at this level, including over course and distance, and is another to consider, while Hunting Lodge can be given a shout based on his form of a year ago, and Atlantic Rhapsody has shown enough inside and outside of this company to make his way onto the list of possibles. Finally, Not Today Sir can be considered based on his Market Rasen selling win of August the 5th. Once again, though, the choice is Fait le Jojo.
