JARVEYS PLATE has found some form since his chase career was put on temporary hold. He beat a decent field at Newbury before finding the ground too quick when only second in a four-runner race at Exeter last time. Encore Champs started favourite at Cheltenham last month but never figured and finished distressed. Skandiburg has gone up 5lb since finishing second at Doncaster in March but there are possibilities about South Terrace back in a handicap off a low weight.
