Johnny's Jury
Jamie Snowden's new recruit JOHNNY'S JURY gets the vote on the back of his promising debut effort at a similar time last year. Best Trump beat a recent bumper winner when winning his point early last year and would rate a danger if the betting speaks for him. Pourquoi Pas Papa holds an entry at Taunton on Thursday but would be the one to beat if showing up here instead.

Promising second in newcomers hurdle at Clairefontaine in June and, following a €200,000 sale from David Cottin yard, again offered plenty when runner-up in a 2m juvenile hurdle at Sandown (soft) on stable debut last month. Leading claims if turning out (due to run 2.00 Taunton Thursday).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1m 7f 216ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle2/8Clairefontaine2m 198yVery softHurdle2/12- 3Best TrumpJ: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.T: Jonjo & A.J.

Smart pedigree and beat subsequent bumper winner Canty's Cove in a 2-finisher Irish point last February. It'll be very interesting to see what the betting makes of him.- 7Johnny's JuryJ: Gavin SheehanT: Jamie Snowden3-Age 63/17/210/3

Good pedigree and made an encouraging start to his career when third in Ffos Las maiden hurdle last January for Nicky Henderson.

Runner-up sole start in Irish points in April 2024. Chased home the now very useful hurdler/chaser Moon Rocket on that occasion but it's taken a long time for new connections to get him to the track. The betting should help guide to expectations.- 1A King Of MagicJ: Liam HarrisonT: Paul Nicholls3-4Age 514/114/116/1

Produced a promising first effort behind a couple of useful prospects when third of 13 in Chepstow bumper (2m, soft) on debut in November.

Second in 4-y-o event at Fontainebleau on hurdle debut last February but 14/1 and faded to finish well held in Wetherby introductory hurdle in November on his first start for Dan Skelton. Still very early days but probably best watched here unless the betting hints that better is expected now.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWetherby2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle8/9Fontainebleau2m 1f 142yVery softHurdle2/14Moulins1m 3f 205ySoftBumper6/7- 6Eton MesJ: Jack TudorT: David Pipe35-944Age 525/1

Modest in bumpers.

Showed a lot more than on hurdle debut when runner-up over 21.5f here in October, albeit it's only modest form. Well-held fifth when dropped to around 2m at Wincanton in November.
