RussP's Big Field Jumps Handicaps

[RussP]

Will be posting my bets for jumps handicaps here. Have been following some criteria for a couple of months and, with some tweaking and own 'what I fancy' filtering could keep us in profit over the winter. All bets to be 10pts win or 5pts EW. The first 2 go today:- WITCH WIND (12.30 Kelso) 5pts EW @ 9/1 Betfred 2 poor opening runs this season but back to form lto with 2L 3rd at Ayr 4 days ago when looked set to strike until bumped coming over the last. Slight increase in trip should help, as should soft ground. On lowest ever handicap mark and a further 7lb being taken off from jockey. ATAHUELPA (12.40 Warwick) 5pts EW @ 16/1 Ladbrokes Beaten 11L lto by Overstrand who trotted up today in WH Handicap Hurdle (listed) at Sandown today. This horse is down from Cl 3 to Cl 4 today and, through the form line with Overstrand, must be in the shake up. Seems as though this horse is now ready to strike - on its lowest mark for over 2 years yet Atahuelpa seems to be hitting form, and should appreciate this slightly less testing ground.
