The market is usually a good guide to these charity events and many of these have been performing over jumps. Thermistocles, a winner over hurdles last November, will be back over timber before long while Jazz Ranger has been in good form over hurdles this summer. Neverushacon was in very good form at this time a year ago and has only run three times this campaign while Tony The Gent won a claimer here in August though that was over 7f. AUSSIE VALENTINE has won twice here and is handed the vote as Dalileo, who is similarly weighted, has only won on the all-weather.
