HIGH JINX makes a belated introduction over hurdles, which probably implies that his connections believe that he has little else too offer on the Flat. However, his ability isn't in doubt (Group 1 winner at Longchamp in 2014), and he should have conditions in his favour here; 2m4f on a flat track on decent ground. If he takes to obstacles well, he will have far too much ability for the recent course winner (2m2f) Calix Delafayette. The James Ewart trained gelding has done all of his racing thus far on soft to heavy ground.
