The interesting one here has to be Flownaway, who makes his debut for the Howard Johnson/Graham Wylie partnership. Although there are dangers aplenty and it will not be plain sailing for the five-year-old. Archais, a middle distance winner on the Flat in Germany, could be anything and is one to monitor in the betting. Whilst: Culcabock, Outside Investor and Kids Inheritance are all very much respected and look capable of winning races somewhere along the line. However, Flownaway was a capable performer for William Jarvis when campaigned over middle distances in the other code, and can he be expected to have been attentively brought along at home for this his hurdles debut. The record of his owner's runners bough from the Flat speaks for itself so far and Flownaway, although lacking the scope of Inglis Drever, can add to the fun Mr Wylie has already attained from his runners.
