JAMMIN MASTERS (NAP) should appreciate this step up in distance as he won over 3m between the flags. After going close at Wetherby on his debut under Rules, he failed to quicken over 2m4f here last time but warrants another chance in this company. Rocco beat Equus Flight five lengths in a Tinahely point-to-point in November. He was always being outpaced in a 1m6f Ludlow bumper last time and this is a much more suitable test. Mahler's First, Frankly Speaking and Trixster are probably against it at this stage of their careers.
