Verdict
French import Jassas is not given a stiff task on his first run in this country and may well make a winning start for James Ewart. Hello Fellas hinted at ability on his first run over timber at Carlisle but Inniscastle Lad has been beaten a total of 76 lengths in his two runs over hurdles. HIDDEN REBEL will have her stamina to prove but she did win five times on the Flat and has a chance of lasting home as long as the going doesn’t get any softer. Alastair Whillans’ mare gets a tentative vote.
