In depth
Verdict
JAMMIN MASTERS (NAP) was second to a decent novice at Carlisle on his chasing bow and then came up against a blot on the handicap in a Listed contest at Ascot. He should make it third-time lucky here though Debece will ensure that the Greatrex runner doesn’t have things all his own way as he was easy to back when second to a prolific and race-fit winner at Chepstow in October. Slanemore Hill was pulled up at Kelso after his third at Wetherby but winning pointer Iwasthefutureonce is interesting switching to fences.
