There was plenty to like about JAX JUNIOR (2) providing a chase debut second behind the Welsh Champion Hurdle winner of last year at Uttoxeter in October. The Lucy Wadham trained six-year-old was a hurdle course and distance winner and may appreciate going back up in trip with that run under his belt. JORDANS CROSS (5) returned from 301 days off making a successful start to fences at Aintree. In the mix off a 7lb higher mark if handling this track. JIG'S FORGE (3) was by no means disgraced when sixth in the G1 Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival last season. Warrants respect making chase debut. QUEENSBURY BOY (4) also merits consideration.
