        Verdict

        Jen's Boy is a £65,000 half-brother to three winning jumpers, including the useful Brigade of Guards. His stable won this two years ago and Caribert is from the yard that won it 12 months ago, though he was beaten 10 lengths under a penalty at Exeter. Market Rasen scorer Benny's Bridge also has 7lb extra but can’t be ignored. Alan King approaches this mob-handed and BRIGADE OF GUARDS looks the pick of his trio. He caught the eye running on late at Kempton last month and this more galloping track will be in his favour.
