Verdict

JET POWERED was mightily impressive in a C&D novice last month, leaving the impression that he could be something out of the ordinary. Indeed, the 5-y-o is already second favourite in most firms' lists for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham in March and can take another step towards a potential clash with Facile Vega and others at the Festival by landing this. The form of the bumper Inneston won in France now looks very good and he is second choice ahead of Klitschko and Palace Boy.
