In depth
Verdict
Hayjack stepped up on his debut effort to win at Hereford in January and looks sure to be in the firing-line here. But he may struggle to give 7lb to THEMILANHORSE, who didn't get the best of runs in what looked a hot bumper at Warwick but stayed on well inside the final furlong. He'll know more today and Paul Nicholls has a 50 per cent strike rate with his runners in bumpers here. Flyit Flora was still in contention when she slipped up on the home turn at Wincanton on her debut and is also worth a second look in a race in which few can be given a serious chance.
