THE JUKEBOX MAN (2) looks set to go well tackling fences this season with positive reports ahead of his return. Trained by Ben Pauling while barely put a foot wrong when landing the G1 Kauto Star Novices Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day last season so may come out on top granted a clean round of jumping. IROKO (4) will have other targets over further on his agenda this season. Cannot be ignored after undergoing a wind-op ahead of his first outing since finishing fourth in the Grade 3 (Handicap) Aintree Grand National. BUTCH (3) is very much unexposed with fences. Could make up into a useful performer this season. KNAPPERS HILL (1) heads the remainder.
