Claire Wills has already partnered MASSINI MAN to a couple of victories under Rules, most recently when the partnership landed a decent novice chase at Ffos Las earlier this month. The 11-year-old is penalised for that but his form looks a cut above his rivals here and he can complete his hat-trick. Rash Move held on well to win between the flags at Hetling last month and is probably the danger as Jump Jet is having his first race for almost a year and Which Pocket was soon back-pedalling on his reappearance at Charing.
