We said3rd of 5, beaten 4 at 11/2
ICE JET 4/1
ICE JET at 4/1, Dan Skelton and Harry Skelton, is the one I want to be with. He won by 18L (~18lb), raised 15lb — 3lb in hand and comes from a yard in good heart at 27%.
I was really impressed with the way he went off in front and attacked his fences last time. He is a bold jumper who gets into a rhythm when he is allowed to get on with things, and if Harry Skelton can get the fractions right he could be difficult to catch.
The dangers are GLEN TO GLEN at 25/1 (went close off this mark) and BOWENSONFIRE at 11/10.
