In depth
Verdict
Jazzy Lady has been winning in Jersey but has yet to win elsewhere over hurdles. VOLPONE JELOIS is preferred given Paul Nicholls’ charge been placed in a couple of handicaps since winning a maiden hurdle here in December and also ran well on the Flat recently. Beau Du Brizais remains 7lb higher than when scoring over track and trip but Agincourt Reef has won over fences since scoring over timber at Wetherby on Boxing Day and can figure.
