FormscanBy Alan Magee - THE NAMES JOCK is a progressive sort on the Flat winning three times and, while failing to add to that tally this year, has run with plenty of credit notably when runner-up to Ever Present over 1m7f at Leopardstown. He looks a nice recruit to hurdling and is sure to be well schooled for the job. Glan showed useful form in bumpers winning twice and was third in a Grade 3 mares’ event at the Punchestown Festival. She’s bred for jumping as the dam is a half-sister to the smart Foreman. Dixie Flyer made all in a Down Royal bumper for Stuart Crawford before joining Henry de Bromhead and filling third spot in a maiden hurdle at Killarney in May. Galway bumper winner Gordon Dai Dai and two-time Flat winner Malbas are others to consider.
