Verdict

JANNAS JOURNEY wasn't seen to best effect in a small field at Hamilton last time and remains well treated on last season's peak course form. Class-dropping David O'Meara pair Theoryofeverything and Walsingham are interesting at the top of the weights. Military Leader's consistent record this year suggests he's also likely to be on the premises.
