    Verdict

    Jazz King was beaten only a neck at Ffos Las on his reappearance and hurdling debut. He has every chance on that form but bumper winner FLEMENSTIDE is expected to improve now hurdling. The latter’s dam is a half-sister to the high-class Master Minded and Paul Nicholls’ charge gets the vote. Nicky Henderson has won two of the last three renewals and Go Sacre Go is fitted with a hood on his return having also undergone a wind operation along with The Strap Man, who debuts under Rules having placed between the flags.
