Jaxlight finally got off the mark at Southwell last week but doesn’t appeal as the type to defy a penalty. Hurricane Rita weakened quickly at Market Rasen but Just Marvin was staying on at Worcester and Baron Von Chill just came up short at Bangor last month. Richard Johnson rides JOY’S GIFT (NAP) as the Irish mare has her first run in this country. She’s 0-17 over hurdles but came up against a well-treated rival at Down Royal 12 days ago and a similar effort here would probably suffice as Embole has been very disappointing and is not one of the big guns in the Skelton yard.
