BARRANCO (5) made a winning return from a layoff last time out (3500m) at Bangor-On-Dee, partnered by today's rider Toby Wynne. Before that first-up run he transferred to the Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero yard. Fitter and sure to go well again. JAC JUMPER (1) resumes from a spell of three months. Started just once last preparation, finishing second in a steeplechase (3800m) at Doncaster. One of the major hopes in the race. JIMMYJEROO (2) has been going well. Scored in a steeplechase (4200m) at Hereford two starts back then finished second last time, beaten 3.5 lengths, in a steeplechase (3900m) at Fontwell Park. Worth considering. TRAVELING SOLDIER (4) returns from a 122-day spell. Hasn't raced since he was eased out of the race in a steeplechase (4500m) at Leicester. Yet to win over the obstacles from eight attempts. Sure to make his presence felt.
