Fast ground is a bit of an unknown but Trixster has been in good form lately. Danny Whizzbang was a promising novice chaser two years ago but recent efforts have left much to be desired. MASON JAR should be approaching peak fitness again after a couple of outings following an enforced lay-off and is 5lb lower than his last victory. He gets the nod ahead of To Be Sure, who seems best at Ffos Las, and Ballintubber Boy who has become disappointing.
