Bumper winner Benny's Secret will need to improve his jumping having finished a well beaten fourth at Ayr on his hurdling bow. Absolute has yet to figure over timber and the remainder with hurdling experience are even harder to fancy having shown nothing so far. MASTER JAKE is a dual point to point winner having his first start under Rules. A chance is taken Dan Skelton's charge is good enough to make a winning debut and he gets the nod.
