WHO'S JEFF attracted support on his debut at Wincanton but pulled much too hard and could only stay on at one pace. He'll have come on for the experience and looks the one to beat as the remainder with a run under their belts look moderate. Henry Daly has two entries, both bred to be stayers over jumps. Go West Young Man may prove better than Croston at this stage as he is by Westerner out of a mare from a high-class jumping family.
