Jack Ryan is fit from the Flat but AUDITORIA hasn’t been beaten far in both of her runs over hurdles so far and can make it third-time lucky getting 15lb from the penalised Blue Ribbon and Howdyalikemenow. Quicker going could be a problem for the latter, who will probably do better over further in the months ahead.

Jack Ryan (IRE) 8-1 (8-9) Held up in rear, not much room 2f out, soon closed, went 3rd from over 1f out, stayed on, 3rd of 10, 3l behind Broxi (9-4) at Yarmouth 7f hcp (5) gs in Oct.
