No chance with the winner, but still a fair run from Oliver's 6 year-old. Original quote: "Jersey Bean has been a very consistent staying hurdler so far and finished a well beaten runner-up of 3 runners on his chase debut at Perth, which was a fair effort. He jumped well that day but we think he was had a busy season and was just feeling that. He's had a good break since and has schooled well recently. He loves good ground so that's a help and his experience - albeit one run - over fences will also be a plus. A tight little race, and we'll have to see if he's good enough at level weights but has gone well fresh in the past - has in fact won first time out for the past two seasons - so hoping that's a good omen."
