COURT JURADO is 6lb higher than when a cosy winner over course and distance in November but a run in a jumpers’ bumper should have blown away any cobwebs and he should be winning this with Theo Gillard’s claim taking care of the weight rise. Khanisari was well ahead of Cagliostro when runner-up here last month but still beaten 19 lengths. Veteran Red Inca finished tailed off returning from a break at Taunton but should strip fitter here and he makes more appeal than Game In The Park.
