Verdict

Tonyx, rated 85 on the Flat and a winner over 1m2f on Tapeta, is an interesting newcomer to hurdling while Jayaaah was up against a potentially-useful novice when second at Carlisle but we are going to stick with BAREBACK JACK. Donald McCain’s winning pointer made a smooth transition to hurdling at Musselburgh and can only improve further. Mickyh was last of four at Sandown and beaten a long way.
