Having largely failed to deliver over fences last term, SPORTING JOHN got firmly back on track when making a winning return/handicap debut back over hurdles here last month, proving his effectiveness at 3m in the process. With further improvement on the cards, he gets the vote to follow up. First-time cheekpieces should help Botox Has so Gary Moore's charge is feared most, ahead of Ask Dillon.
