Lexington Knight has failed to build on a course and distance success back in October while better was expected from Infinitive at Kempton. But JACKS PROFIT has won over hurdles since going close here in January under today’s rider and he gets the vote to go one better. Choral Work has also been hurdling having won a novices' race on the Flat back in 2020.
