Verdict

There was lots to like about THE JUKEBOX KID's chase debut success at Carlisle and he can make light of a 9 lb rise with further progress highly likely. The surge which briefly took Zertakt clear between the last 2 fences on his Newcastle reappearance suggests he's on a good mark and he can give the selection most to think about ahead of Nicky Henderson's Southwell runner-up As The Fella Says.
