Formscan - JET OF STARS, who swapped hands for 230,000 pounds after he won his sole point-to-point start, looked an exciting prospect when he won a bumper by almost 10 lengths on his Rules debut at Ayr in March. This seems a perfect time to reintroduce jumping to the equation and the Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore-trained gelding is the most intriguing option. Uttoxeter winner Chicker was highly tried last season and must be feared at this level, while Gambino is respected but he has the double penalty to cope with on his hat-trick bid.
