Verdict

The pick of several plausible candidates is YOUNG JACK, who ended last term on a downer over hurdles but he made a very bright start to this season when runner-up on chase debut at Kelso. Jipcot performed with credit on his latest start in this sphere and needs considering off an attractive mark, while Captain Butler should improve on what he showed on his first start over fences at Aintree. Junker d'Allier also has claims and chase debutant Big John Wayne needs a second look, too.
