JACKIES SOLITAIRE had clearly benefited from her first run over hurdles when winning at Chepstow. Anthony Honeyball's lightly-raced filly had a bit in hand that day and may well be capable of defying her penalty here. Hi Note won over C&D last month but was then well beaten at Market Rasen and this looks more competitive, while George Woolf and Guards Chapel need to improve again on respective victories at Newton Abbot and Wincanton to figure. Colebrooke has shown a bit of promise but has now had 13 runs on the Flat and over timber without managing to get his head in front and newcomer Parigino may have more scope.
