A cracking renewal, with the vote awarded to JASMIN DE VAUX, who was one of the very best bumper performers around last season and with his opening hurdles win under his belt, there's plenty more to come over this trip. The Yellow Clay finished behind the selection at Cheltenham but has garnered plenty of experience over obstacles and can boast a superb attitude. He's a big threat, along with Butch Cassidy.
