JETT finished a close-up third off a mark of 145 in a Doncaster handicap in December. A Grade 2 and Grade 3 winner for Jessica Harrington and eighth in last year’s Grand National at Aintree, he could be a money-spinner in the hunter chase ranks. Monbeg Chit Chat has won three times over fences and five times between the flags and is the only danger on paper.
