Jay Be Junior is certain to have many supporters and sets the standard with his recent Market Rasen win and looks set to follow up with Smiths Tribe and newcomer Yes Sir the likely main dangers. Jay Be Junior won as he liked on his debut and looked a horse with a future. Even with his penalty he looks a class above any of his rivals and his only danger will come from any unexposed newcomers. Yes Sir comes from the in-form yard of Peter Bowen and he is more than capable of readying a horse first time of asking. The market will play an important role here. Smiths Tribe was narrowly beaten into third place by Cornish Sett around Ludlow on his debut and with improvement likely will be threatening the judge again. A place with plenty of newcomers to lookout for but Jay Be Junior is taken to follow up his recent Market Rasen win.
