Despite the presence of several unexposed types from powerful NH stables, JABULANI (NAP) sets the standard in this on last month's third at Cheltenham having only found one too good at Warwick on his hurdling debut. First Assignment, from a yard in cracking form, and Glen Rocco are both points winners and Voie Dans Voie was placed twice in that sphere in Ireland. Potters Hedger and Buckby Boy have form in bumpers.
