FormscanBy Alan Magee - This looks a good opportunity for JAPERS JACK in a race for horses that have not won over hurdles or fences. The Philip Fenton-trained gelding has plenty of placed form over hurdles including when beating all bar favourite Sir Argus in a Cork maiden last Easter and made an encouraging start over fences at Galway earlier this month when third to Perceval Legallois on testing ground. Ideal Du Tabert also has a list of placed runs over hurdles including when third at Kilbeggan last month while Silent Approach picked up black type over hurdles when third to Shecouldbeanything in a Killarney Listed event back in May. Potters Party and the Gordon Elliott-trained pair Malton Groove and Zettabyte are others to consider.
