Verdict

JORDANS CROSS created an excellent impression when quickly switched to fences at Aintree last month and is fancied to make light of a 6 lb rise and follow up that impressive victory. Joseph O'Brien's new recruit Kim Roque rates a big threat though on his winning French form, while chasing newcomers Jig's Force and Queensbury Boy bring lots of potential and could also have a say in a fascinating contest.
