THE JUKEBOX MAN (3) finished runner-up in G1 company at both the Cheltenham and Aintree Festival over hurdles last season. Made successful chase debut in the G2 John Francome Novices' Chase at Newbury last month. Can continue to progress over fences and can remain unbeaten in this sphere. HYLAND (1) may pose the main threat after two impressive wins over fences at Cheltenham including in Listed company. MASACCIO (2) can give a good account following his runner-up effort behind the main selection in the previously-mentioned G2 at Newbury. The improving WHITE RHINO (5) cannot be ruled out.
