JEWELLERY has won twice over hurdles in the last couple of months and has already been successful over fences between the flags. The switch to chasing shouldn't be a problem for Victor Dartnall's mare, who can get the better of Isthereadifference. Neil Mulholland's grey has made the frame in six of his nine starts over the larger obstacles but has only managed one victory. Famousandfearless is another who has won a point-to-point and he's probably been marking time over hurdles. David Pipe's gelding could easily prove better than these in the future.
