Jelski has won twice over hurdles this year and probably ran as well as expected when second on his chasing bow at Cartmel. Velasco is more exposed over fences and requires improvement but Green Vault looks a chasing type and warrants respect. Robin Des Fox should also make a better chaser than hurdler but JET FIGHTER is equally unexposed and he will have learned plenty from his second last month at Market Rasen.
