Verdict
Pass It On, Monsignor Jack and Here's Johnny are the three to look at here and Pass It On is the selection. Philip Hobbs saddles Monsignor Jack and the yard is set to have a good campaign and although this is his debut he is respected. A son of Aahsaylad, Monsignor Jack is out of a dam who won over nine furlongs so hopefully should be able to see out the trip. Any market move would be interesting. Here's Johnny is a dual bumper winner and has been placed in a novice hurdle at Newbury. He handles testing ground and looks sure to go well. Following some promising efforts last season, Pass It On was made a long odds on favourite to score at Carlisle on his re-appearance. He won, but had to be hard driven to do so. He is expected to see out the trip well and will have come on for the run. Pass It On can be given the responsibility of the selection here.
