Pull Together continues to suggest he's going to land a modest maiden hurdle sooner or later and this could well be his day but JUMPING JACK (NAP) makes enough appeal to receive the vote instead. Chris Gordon's four-year-old receives a healthy 6lb age allowance from his elders, has been a model of consistency all season long and arguably ran his best race to date only a week ago when fourth at Ascot in the competitive juvenile hurdle won by the talented Malaya. A repeat of that run would be sufficient here. Snowy Oscar is a potential improver and Gary Moore's pair - Airtight and It's Got Legs - have shown enough to get involved but need to improve again.
