JACK N JONES (4) made a strong return from a layoff last time out in a bumper (3560m) at Plumpton, finishing second when partnered by today's rider Gavin Sheehan. Before that first-up run she went to the Jamie Snowden yard. Leading contender. CLAIM DU BRIZAIS (1) capable of taking this out. EASTERN SHORES (2) returns from a 366-day spell. Closed the last campaign impressively when lining up for just the second time, landing the cash in a point to point (4800m) at Curraghmore P2p. During her layoff the five-year-old has gone across to the F M O'Brien stable. Sure to be about the mark. MISS TINKERBELL (7) is going over the jumps for the first time. Finished 23 lengths away seventh at the latest appearance in a bumper over 3200m at Southwell. Sure to be well-schooled and is going to be prominent.
