After a further 3 months off, JETOILE wasn't able to land the 4-timer but he travelled well for a long way when fourth at Cheltenham in January, so he is taken to build on that outing to resume winning ways. Heading the list of dangers is Grandeur d'Ame, who is worth another chance after an early exit last time, while Heltenham again looked on a good mark when runner-up a week ago.
