If he takes to fences at the first attempt INDEPENDENT JIMMY may well be capable of adding to his hurdles success at Bangor three weeks ago. Indeed, he produced a good front-running display on that occasion and this 4 lb higher mark doesn't look insurmountable by any means. Traveling Soldier lost little caste in defeat back from a two-month break here last time and he is greatly respected now moving back up in trip, while Whynotnowroy also enters calculations.
