Reliability and predictability aren't labels that can be associated with too many of these horses, so this looks a golden opportunity for JUMP FOR DOUGH to follow up his recent C&D success despite racing from a 6lb higher mark. He appeared to relish the switch back to hurdles, and jumped impeccably throughout, winning in the style of a horse with plenty more to offer. Thomas Willmott retains the ride, with his 10lb claim an invaluable asset, so another bottle of Edinburgh Gin looks likely to be heading the way of Kinross based trainer Lucinda Russell. Apachee Prince can fill the forecast spot if bringing his 'A' game to the table.
