The Jam Man has won 11 times in his career and had been racing in top handicap hurdles before returning to the Flat with a good run at the Curragh, though that was over 2m. Stellium started favourite here last month on the back of a placed effort over this trip at the Curragh but ran a shocker. DOLLAR VALUE was in superb form on the Flat and over timber last summer and looked right back to his best when landing a Downpatrick handicap hurdle by 25 lengths last month so looks the one to beat in receipt of 12lb from Ebendi. Joseph O'Brien's charge reappeared with a two-length defeat by Beamish, who remains unbeaten after landing a Roscommon Listed race.
