FormscanBy Mark Nunan - One of a number of winning chasers who are running off lower hurdle marks here, the locally-trained JACOVEC CAVERN might bounce back to form at the track where he gained his only win so far. That victory came in November and he looked set to win a handicap hurdle when a final-flight faller at Cork last March. He’s come back down the ratings since then and the refitting of cheekpieces may help. Themanintheanorak has made a good start to his handicap career and trip and ground will suit. Course winner Grimaud looks a bit exposed but has been running consistently, while Laxxio could be on a nice initial mark and stepping up in trip looks a plus for him. %0A%0A
