In depth
Verdict
Several of these have pedigrees for Flat racing including Jawbox, a half-brother to 1m3f Listed winner Kilimanjaro. Big Jim Dwyer is a half-brother to a winning miler while Back O' The Net is by Nathaniel out of a winning miler. Kamikaze Kid and Train Hill have more conventional jumping pedigrees but could find the ground a bit lively unless there is further rain so the vote goes to ELUSIVE SPECIMEN, a brother to a Flat and hurdles winner and out of a mare who won over 1m2f.
