An interesting start to proceedings but there should be plenty to come from JACK FROST now he tackles hurdles. The Queen's gelding won his bumper here in May and made a winning reappearance under a penalty at Fakenham. But he may not have things entirely his own way as Navanman and Go Odee Go both have experience on their side. The former can only improve on his hurdling debut at Taunton but the latter disappointed at Worcester last month. Ink Master also needs more but Father Edward is another hurdling debutant worthy of a mention while Shareni showed promise at Wincanton last season.
