Dual bumper winner MR JACKMAN was only beaten a head by subsequent Listed winner Formal Order at Punchestown on his hurdling debut and Gordon Elliott’s charge is preferred to stablemate Crackaway. Gibberwell ran well enough over 3m at the same Punchestown fixture without threatening the winner and can figure but the remainder with experience are harder to recommend. Globetrottersivola cost €50,000 as a half-brother to several winners over hurdles and makes more appeal than Saga Aravis of the newcomers.
