Formscan - JET PLANE bounced back to form with a victory at Sandown last month following a string of disappointing efforts. Dan Skelton's gelding, whose previous success had come over 3m2f at Newton Abbot in October, is likely to relish stepping back up in trip and gets the vote to handle a 2lb rise from the handicapper. Georges Saint finished third at Wincanton when attempting to land a hat-trick and is respected along with Kestrel Valley, who should find this easier than the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham.
