A sharp track like Plumpton might not bring the best out of JURANCON (2) however he does maintain solid form. Beat a good horse hurdling at Chepstow in November and can return to winnings ways adopting first-time tongue-tie after finishing second at Exeter last start. SOLE SOLUTION (7) receives 8lb from the main selection and is an obvious danger following a maiden hurdle second tackling this trip at Leicester. ILLEGAL D'AINAY (1) won a good-ground maiden hurdle here during May and might get involved after decent efforts at Windsor and Ascot. Stablemate MINELLA KAISER (5) rates next best.
