Jaunty Inflight was in good form prior to pulling up at Wincanton on Boxing Day. He hasn’t raced since, however, and all of his form is on ground with plenty of give. Fine Jewellery had shown nothing before finishing a close-up second over hurdles at Uttoxeter last July. He makes his chasing bow today so is best watched and neither Billy My Boy nor Cold Knight have dome much lately. POLO THE MUMM is 0-9 over fences but has been placed six times. He has won two hurdles and two point-to-points, however, and a race like this should be within his capabilities.
