KAP JAZZ (NAP) won in a hack canter at Carlisle 10 days ago and a penalty is unlikely to prevent a follow up here. He jumped like an old hand at the Cumbrian track having fallen on his reappearance at Lingfield and looks to be several steps ahead of the handicapper. Some Are Lucky will be winning over fences once he is eased in the weights and the ground dries out and he’s preferred to Colin's Brother, pulled up when favourite on his hat-trick bid at Hereford and now looking in the assessor’s grip. Vote Of Confidence is making his chasing debut in decent company after a four-month break and is best watched.
