JOHNNY’S JURY looked a good prospect when getting off the mark in this sphere at Exeter on his debut for Jamie Snowden and is hard to side against here. Ayr scorer Kilnesare Flight also has better days ahead of him and is next on the list ahead of Knomorediamonds and Matching Energy who can fight it out for minor honours.

NETYWELLtook a step back in the right direction when fourth at Ayr 18 days ago and, with conditions looking set to be in his favour, he could be ready to take advantage of his reduced mark. Hardy du Seuil ran well back over fences behind a trio of last-time-out winners at Haydock on his latest outing and isn’t taken lightly, with Grain d’Oudairies also in the mix.

PLAY SMARTER
French recruit HE’S ON FIRE should be hard to beat on his first run for Willie Mullins. The longer trip should suit Johnny Moonshine so he’s put up for the forecast spot unless the betting vibes are strong for Tom Ellis point winner The Dog Thief.

Cases can be made for a few of these but the vote goes to UPFORDEBATE, who made it 4 wins from his last 5 starts at Sedgefield recently and Patrick Neville’s 7-y-o is fancied to defy another chunky rise in the weights. His main threat may emerge from Saint Davy, who ran up to his best on return at Windsor recently and could well step up on that here. Ayiko showed aptitude for chasing when runner-up at Haydock and completes the shortlist.

PLAY SMARTER
Fairly useful Flat performer AZAHARA PALACE showed plenty in her first two starts over hurdles and she can improve now handicapping. Soldier’s Leap won twice in the autumn and gave his all in more competitive company at Newbury last time, while Swinging London wasn’t ideally placed at Kempton where the pace held up but can do better eased slightly in grade. Two Auld Pals and Russian Virtue are others to note in a competitive race

MAURA JEANNE arrives in form and Ian Duncan is among the winners so there are reasons to be hopeful about her prospects. Keppel Queen is a potential big threat if she can cut out the mistakes which compromised her chance at Plumpton. It’s Maisy is also respected stepping back up to 3m+.
