All of JET MASTER’s hurdle wins have come around here and he ran well over fences last time when 11lb higher in the weights. Nick Alexander’s veteran looks the one to beat on that form ahead of the hat-trick seeking Jester Jet, though Late Date is a danger as he certainly wasn’t winning out of turn over course and distance last month and Joe Wright is able to claim the full 7lb today. Maraweh is another course specialist and 5lb lower than when landing this 12 months ago while a return to 3m is likely to suit Irish raider Dubai Devils, though he’s still a maiden. It’s more than two years since Un Noble last ran over hurdles but he’s well treated on the pick of his chase form.
