Verdict
Jubilee Express is penalised for winning at Hereford in March on his hurdling bow and TWIN POWER can make the most of the weight concession. He’s undergone a wind operation since disappointing last time but has leading claims on an earlier second at Wincanton and Paul Nicholls’ yard is in top form. Mister Who made a promising hurdling debut at Fontwell and is preferred to Wind Of Fortune with winning point-to-pointers Grey D'alco and Hilnamix debuting under Rules.
