FormscanBy Tom Weekes - JUST JACOB shaped ok on his first run for 544 days at Downpatrick but should improve considerably from that run and reverts to fences, for his first handicap chase. A dual summer hurdle winner in 2022, he was well held in three hot beginners' chase runs later that year but begins rated just 99 in handicap chases, which is 7lb below his peak hurdles' rating and he remains a fraction unexposed. Prince Of Air disappointed on a recent Tipperary run but had previously won a similar race at Tramore. Jack Holiday debuts for a new yard and hasn't run since October but he is a capable performer at this level and is ideally suited by this distance and good ground.
