Verdict

Hijack may do better over hurdles having a well-backed favourite for a Fakenham bumper in October. One Fine Man has similar credentials but Dogon has become expensive to follow. Plumpton fourth No No Maestro hails from a yard in cracking form and is a likely improver but GARRY CLERMONT was a cosy winner ahead of stronger opposition here last month and should be good enough to defy a penalty.
