Verdict

FATHER OF JAZZ was a useful performer on the Flat and travelled with much more zest when scoring in a small field at Kempton earlier in the month. He's fancied to defy a 6 lb penalty and follow up here, though this a decent race of its type, with Gaius and VE Day also having made promising starts to their hurdling careers, albeit the latter needing to bounce back after a poor showing last time.
