Formscan By Stuart Howden - Having built on his debut seventh over course and distance when finishing a close-up second at Tipperary earlier this month, JACK THE BACHELOR could be poised to open his account. Stephen Thorne's colt found only a smart rival too strong and this contest looks slightly easier. Namiid was behind the selection in third and isn't taken lightly, although a bigger threat may emerge from recent Naas runner-up Howd'yadoit.
