JACKMEISTER RUDI is expected to give his rivals weight and a beating in the Cazoo Handicap (4.51) at Bath this afternoon.
On the back of a seventh at Chelmsford City, a fifth at Lingfield Park and a second at Wolverhampton during the winter, the son of Churchill moved from Jamie Osborne to Dave Evans with a British Horseracing Authority rating of 64.
Gelded before a last of nine at Kempton Park on his debut in the sphere, Jackmeister Rudi, dropped 2lb in the weights, showed plenty more with a third to Go Razzmatazz over this course and distance in the middle of last month
His chance compromised by a slow start, Gina Mangan’s mount then found trouble in running on the approach to the final furlong but rattled home to take a length-and-three-quarters third to the Robyn Brisland-trained winner.
Off the same mark, Jackmeister Rudi can go two places better.
At Beverley, AL QAASIM should be happier back at a mile as he takes on nine rivals for the Brian Dixon Memorial Handicap (3.51).
David O’Meara’s son of Free Eagle got mugged late over 10 furlongs at Ayr last Tuesday but is fancied to make the most of a quick return to the fray before he goes up in the weights.
