JAUNTY FLYER has run well in all three starts over hurdles so far and is the one to beat in this with trip and ground in his favour. The Sweeney is probably the danger as he was third behind a couple of potentially decent novices over course and distance last month though Jammin Masters, denied a run at Wetherby yesterday, wasn’t beaten far on his debut under Rules and is sure to improve for the experience. Just Don’t Ask and Subcontinent are other likely improvers.
