Jaquoille to be Moore's National ace

The National Hunt bandwagon rolls on to Uttoxeter on Saturday afternoon and punters can top up any Cheltenham winnings by backing JAQUOUILLE (nap, 3.15) in the John Smith's Midlands Grand National.

The Irish raider looks to have had this extreme stamina test as his aim all season and I particularly like his last two runs, especially his effort two starts back at Leopardstown.

The 10-year-old chased home the highly-rated Point Barrow that day, finishing less than four lengths in arrears, and warmed up for this event with an eyecatching effort over hurdles.

Trainer Arthur Moore is a genius at preparing horses for handicaps and he has even booked crack conditional Adrian Leigh to reduce his charge's burden still further.

England should have sent Alan King and his Barbury Castle team out to the West Indies for the Cricket World Cup as they seem to be winning everything at present.

PAKTOLOS (Lingfield, 2.55) represents the Scottish handler in a tricky handicap on the Polytrack, but the four-year-old showed such a smart turn of foot to score at the track last time that he can be backed to follow up.

Nicky Richards sent out the Gold Cup third in Turpin Green yesterday and he may be able to go two better with CAMDEN BELLA (Newcastle, nb, 2.25) this afternoon.

The mare won well in a fast time on her latest start and her handler looks to have ensured she has a handy weight by also entering Paperprophet.

Alfadora is in great form, but has been kept very busy of late and could be worth opposing at Uttoxeter on the tacky ground (4.50).
