FormscanBy Gary Carson - JIGORO should prove hard to beat here on his chase debut. The French-bred had some smart novice hurdle form before struggling in handicap company on his final two starts of last term. After winning on his second outing at Navan he was runner-up in Grade 2 company the following month in Punchestown and like a lot of the yard's horses will have been bought with chasing in mind. Caesar Rock has the chase experience in the book and he's the obvious danger. Drumgill was progressive over hurdles and is another to note on his chase debut.
