Verdict
Global Jackpot completed a hat-trick over hurdles in minor company before beaten a long way in a novices' hurdle at Bangor in October. He's making his debut over fences and the experience of STOWAWAY FOREVER may prove too much for him. Patrick Dempsey's charge has had 10 starts over fences without winning but he's been placed in handicaps and has also run well here. Henry De Bromhead's Or Jaune De Somoza made his chasing bow in November when narrowly beaten into third at Navan. He couldn't handle Grade 3 company back there the following month and this should be more to his liking. My Manekineko is let down by his jumping more often than not and the remaining pair have plenty to do.
