Verdict

A smart performer in bumpers, TWINJETS wasn't seen to anything like best effect on his return/hurdles bow at Cheltenham in October and, well worth another chance, he gets the nod to come out on top with progress anticipated. Cuthbert Dibble has shown promise in bumpers and is feared, along with Hidden Beauty. Gardener is another to keep an eye on.
