Jaboune looks to have been found a simple opportunity to complete a second victory over chase fences in Novice company. The presence of Alan King's charge looks to have frightened off any serious opposition and he is confidently predicted to confirm the favourable impression he created at Hereford. The Staggery Boy has had the "pleasure" of chasing home decent types in modest races in the past. He looks set to fulfil that role again. Mr McDuff, Viva Bingo and Hidden Pearl are plenty exposed and are difficult to make cases for.
