JASMIN DE GRUGY (5) looked like a staying chaser to follow when making a winning debut over fences at Southwell in November. Stepping up to 2m7 1/2f can bring about further improvement and can defy a 12lb hike in the weights. SOUND AND FURY (2) won recent Uttoxeter handicap chase. Has a useful claimer on board to negate the harsh rise in weight. NEW ORDER (6) is hard to ignore following a comfortable success over fences at Warwick 34 days ago. SUPPORT ACT (8) looks well-handicapped on the pick of his hurdling form and warrants a market check on chasing debut.
