JESTER JET (NAP) has come up against smart novices in her two runs to date over fences and looks the one to beat in this mares’ Listed event. She looks a sound jumper and has nothing to fear from All Currencies on Bangor running. Atlanta Ablaze was third in this grade at Market Rasen when on a hat-trick but she’s already run seven times over the larger obstacles and others have more scope, though she did beat Rebel Yeats at Hereford in October and that one was well ahead of Graceful Legend at Huntingdon. Mrs Lovett has won her last two in Ireland and would not have travelled unless Gordon Elliott thought she was up this task while a switch to fences could bring about further improvement in Belle Empress.
