Jamie Snowden's JACKSTELL was strong in the market last time at Ascot and didn't run badly behind one who got loose on the lead. The ex-Irish Military Alliance has to be of interest now with Harry Derham and he's feared most ahead of Golden De Coeur.[Alistair Jones]

Hooded the last twice; went off a bit hot when beaten under 4l in a 2m novice at Ludlow (soft) the last time; needs to settle down and perhaps best watched for now.
Four-time Flat winner and quite useful, so his second in a modest maiden hurdle at Plumpton was rather underwhelming (2m, good); could build on that but needs to.
The winner of two points; 15 defeats under rules split evenly between bumpers, hurdles and chases; has threatened in all those disciplines and should nick a race sooner or later, for all that he's twice been below par since a good run over fences here in January.
Irish bumper winner; has hit the frame in all three runs over hurdles and the winner at Ascot last time made the most of a gifted lead (2m3f, good); this 6yo was noticeably strong in the market that day after wind surgery; respected.
Went close in a 1m1f Leopardstown maiden (heavy) on debut but a well-held fifth over hurdles next time and didn't offer much in two runs back on the Flat; however, he has joined Harry Derham and that heightens interest.
Had plenty of racing on the Flat and won twice over 1m2f on soft ground; will need to run better than on his hurdling debut at Taunton (2m, good; 40-1).
