The may go the way of top weight BOSTON JOE (1) who landed a handicap chase by 20L when last sighted over course and distance. Now back off a 1lb lower mark and arrives having shaped nicely on reappearance hurdling here twelve days ago. JAIPALETEMPS (4) won on soft ground in France. Might prove the chief threat given he holds form to feature off this rating with Rian Corcoran taking off a further 11lb. OWL OF ATHENS (6) represents a local stable that does well at this track and could provide a bold bid making his chase debut based on form of his two decent hurdle efforts late last season. KING OF BRAZIL (2) completes the shortlist.
