Verdict

FERRET JEETER found only another in-form rival too strong when bidding for a fourth win over hurdles here last week and he will take some stopping off the same mark, granted a clean round of jumping on this chase debut. West Orchard has scored twice over these fences and looks the danger following a near-miss at Wincanton.
