A potentially-informative hunter chase with Jett sure to be popular having made an impressive start in this sphere at Kelso last week. He gets 4lb from likely market rivals Soldier Of Love and DOLPHIN SQUARE but the latter also easily landed the odds at Lingfield eight days ago and a first try over this longer trip should bring about further improvement. Oldgrangewood may need this and is better over shorter trips while Le Breuil hasn’t won since landing the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham three years ago.
