Pundit corner

Pundit pick: Jack Owen Jack

Jack Owen Jack showed real promise on his hurdles debut at Listowel, reaching the frame 4l third despite struggling with his jumping throughout — an experience that should yield significant improvement on his second start. Latopix is the most dangerous rival on form, having produced her best effort under rules when runner-up at Punchestown, while Open Approach also caught the eye as a strong stayer when fourth at Downpatrick. Jack Owen Jack is the selection.
