8/1

Fairly useful winner over hurdles who didn't really take to chasing for former yard, so hard to make a case for despite a respectable debut in points last month. Tongue tie goes on.

Form: 7F7-503

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Sam Waley-Cohen| T: R Waley-Cohen| OR: 147

1/6

Didn't look the force of old for Jessica Harrington last season but put up a good effort when third in a handicap chase at Doncaster on sole outing for Olly Murphy 69 days ago. Should be too good.

Form: 8P068-3

50/1

Doesn't appear to retain much ability.

10/1

Unreliable sort who has returned to Rules with a couple of tame efforts lately.

Forecasts

Jett (1/6), Monbeg Chit Chat (7/2), Ferocious (8/1), Wonderoftheworld (10/1), Shantou Tiger (50/1)

JETT is the class act in this field and should make a winning hunter debut after a couple of months off. Monbeg Chit Chat, a reliable customer, is the obvious alternative if the selection fluffs his lines.
