Journeyman was beaten by two more experienced rivals on his racecourse debut at Worcester in the spring but there is just a question mark over the value of that form, the fourth having been well beaten in subsequent starts, and there are a few well-bred newcomers among the opposition here. Oscara Dara should be interesting when tackling hurdles and Lucy Wadham's Wiesentraum comes from solid German stock. But we like the look of HAYJACK, who is out of the prolific Celtic Native who was a useful bumper performer in her own right.
