The Jigger started favourite at Warwick last month but only beat one home. He is surely capable of better but Nicky Henderson has a trio of nicely-bred newcomers in the line-up with most interest likely to centre around STEAL A MARCH. The Queen’s gelding is out of a bumper winner and is bred to be quicker than most of these, though stablemate Kaymar has a nice jumping pedigree and is worth monitoring. Rough Terain should also make a jumper.
