FormscanBy Tom Weekes - JUKEBOX JIVE has disappointed on his two Irish handicap hurdle starts but might prove good enough to win. A smart flat performer for both Jamie Osbourne and his current trainer, he disappointed in two handicap hurdles last November and December but has recently shown some spark in hot staying handicaps. He is well suited by today's trip and having won a hurdle in the past, from just four runs, is open to some progression over jumps. No Memory has been progressive and while she now competes from a career-high mark, is very much proven at this trip and on testing ground and might uphold Wexford placings with runner-up Owenacurra Lass. Beyond The Law, a non-runner at Thurles on Thursday, is a previous course chase winner and can get involved despite hauling top weight while Slippery Serpent wasn't beaten too far on his reappearance run at Galway and has his chance. Internal Transfer is rated 25lbs lower over hurdles than fences but was well held on his latest handicap hurdle start while Rebel Waltz is lightly weight and has some place claims. %0A
