Jumpandtravel only won a seller over hurdles and she fell last time at Leicester. But she has won a point-to-point and makes more appeal than fellow chasing newcomers Major Ridge and Higgs Boson. Rupert Bear ran a bit better over 2m here last time but the extra half-mile may stretch his stamina. Wakhan was joint favourite at Catterick eight days ago but got no further than the fourth fence and has become expensive to follow. OSCAR LATEEN will handle conditions better than most and the Ayr second has a good chance to open his account today, even though he still looks a couple of pounds too high.
