JAZZY MATTY (8) landed this contest in dominant fashion as a novice last year and has been campaigned over hurdles with repeat successes in mind since. Arrives on the back of wind surgery with cheekpieces applied. Leading contender. BE AWARE (4) perhaps represents the class angle having placed 1L runner-up in the 2m G2 Lightning Novices' Chase at Windsor most recently. Twice placed over track and trip. Main danger if given an easy lead. VANDERPOEL (9) returns after two months break. Unexposed despite recording a 4. 5L success tackling 1m7 1/2f at Sandown on latest outing. Makes appeal. INTHEPOCKET (5) is a lightly raced former G1 winner who cannot be discounted following an eye-catching fifth contesting 2m1f among Listed company at Leopardstown.
