A winner at Wincanton on his hurdling debut, JEREMY PASS looked ill-at-ease on soft going at Ascot next time and was pulled up. But he was back on song when third at Doncaster last time and only half-a-length behind Riggs, who finished second in a Grade 3 at Sandown subsequently. Get Prepared is held on that form and Paul Nicholls’ six-year-old should be winning this. Champagne Mystery may be having a confidence-booster over hurdles but can’t be ignored and makes more appeal than Press Your Luck and Mistersister.
