In depth
Verdict
Jayas will be suited by a return to the minimum, but he has plenty to prove at present. Flahive's First will find this easier than when tackling better company on his two previous starts and this winning hurdler can get off the mark over fences. Gaynor starts her chasing career at a lowly level and if she puts in a clear round, she will be a danger to all.
