Verdict
Jatiluwih has won over fences in France and has been gelded since last in action. Philip Hobbs' new charge has been allocated a provisional rating of 132 and will go close if running up to that mark while Dario Naharis was narrowly beaten by a horse now rated 129 at Doncaster last month and can also figure. FALCO BLITZ was no match for One For Rosie when second at Warwick but the latter has subsequently gone close in a Grade 3 hurdle and Nicky Henderson’s charge gets the vote on the strength of that form. One More Fleurie is another likely improver and looks best of the rest.
