    Verdict

    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.
