In depth
Verdict
RED JADE made a winning start over timber at Southwell last month. Twice a winner in soft ground on the Flat, Alexander Voy's claim cancels out most of a penalty and he's just preferred to Crackentorp. Tim Easterby's charge also made a winning debut over hurdles at Market Rasen and he should be in the firing-line once again along with Amtired, who landed a maiden hurdle over C&D in October. Others to note include War Poet, who showed improved form at Doncaster last month and bumper winner Swaledale Lad, who makes his hurdling bow here.
