Verdict
Jaunty Thor is still seeking a first victory over fences but was just beaten off this mark at Perth last month and went one better a day later over hurdles at the Scottish track. He remains on a fair mark and it would be no surprise if he shed his maiden tag over the larger obstacles today but NOTONEBUTTWO was in front and still travelling strongly when falling two out at Sedgefield in May on his first run for Sue Smith. A winner over course and distance last year, he is getting 23lb from the Elliott runner taking into account his rider’s claim. Dun Faw Good, Rock On Barney and Cash Again could all figure if in the mood.
