JAGWAR is already a much better chaser than hurdler and with his Bangor win and Uttoxeter third (when better than the result) both working out very well, he's a handicapper to keep on the right side of. Masaccio doesn't have The Jukebox Man to contend with this time and he seems sure to give it a good go, while Billytherealbigred, a stablemate of the selection, shouldn't be ignored in receipt of a handy weight-for-age allowance.
