Verdict
Father Of Jazz is clear at the weights though has disappointed the last twice having shown promise at Huntingdon on his earlier hurdling bow. AVILES looks a safer bet having found only Polyphonic, now rated 113, too good at Fontwell on Boxing Day. Greatness Awaits disappointed back in maiden company at Warwick but Highland Frolic posted a better effort here a fortnight ago and Breaking Cover makes his hurdling debut with a tongue-tie applied.
