Jilaijone Runs at Uttoxeter Today
The 2025 Cheltenham Festival is done and dusted but the good racing continues and today it is the Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter. We do not have any runners in the big race itself but we do have two there, Jilaijone and Phantomofthepoints. Jilaijone runs in the opening race on the card, the 2m3f handicap hurdle. He carries top weight so we decided to claim off him, Freddie Mitchell rides taking a handy five pounds off his back. Freddie was on board last time out when he finished fourth at Ascot and gave him a good ride. That was over 2m7f so he drops back in distance today and he was a course and distance winner on his penultimate start. There is some decent prize money on offer and it is a competitive 15 runner field. I see we are about 7/1 third best in the betting and I think he has a good each way chance. He is very consistent and he will like the ground.
