Jarob is looking progressive and was impressive over timber here three weeks ago. He's won between the flags and likes fast ground so he should get into the frame. Benemeade probably came up against a very talented performer in Security Breach at Listowel and also when behind Devils Bride on his chasing bow at Roscommon. He's an obvious threat to all but could again be facing a useful prospect in RAWNAQ. A decent handicapper on the Flat, he's rated 140 over hurdles after scoring three times and being placed in a Grade 3 handicap at Cheltenham in November. This is his debut over fences and he can make a successful start. Winning point-to-pointer Manor Court has been badly out of form.
