Verdict
BANTISS JACK has not been beaten at all far in a couple of handicaps since joining Olly Murphy from the Hogan yard in Ireland and this drop back into maiden hurdle company can see the gelding notch a first career success, especially with Fergus Gregory claiming a useful 5lb. Hediddodinthe's form figures are slightly misleading and he'll need to improve to feature, whereas Moans Cross is improving with each run over timber and looks a key player in an ordinary contest. Scottsdale has been disappointing under both codes this year and Diamond Reggie is far better shortlist material after shaping with distinct promise for the Bowen team latest.
