TWENTYTWO'S TAKEN (NAP) is likely to be a short price for this but should open his account over timber at the first time of asking. She's joined David Pipe since chasing home a well-regarded Willie Mullins' hot-pot in a Listed bumper at Navan in November and will have had plenty of schooling. Midnight Jazz was highly tried last time at Newbury following her second at Stratford in October and should chase home the selection as dual bumper winner Tambura disappointed on her hurdles bow at Fontwell. Sweet Summer was beaten a long way when fourth at Catterick and looks moderate but Glenariff has hinted at ability.
