Jesuitique makes his chasing debut 4lb higher than his hurdling mark but should have a future over the larger obstacles. ANY NEWS is 0-10 over fences and often flatters to deceive but enjoys a huge turnaround in the weights than when beaten 17 lengths by Farouk De Cheneau at Fontwell in May and appears to hold Pull Again Green and The Bomber Liston on recent Uttoxeter running behind subsequent winner A Different Kind. The latter’s trainer runs Grey Skies but he’s been disappointing since a close second at Cartmel in May.
