Jungle Jack made a winning start under Rules at Sedgefield and there should be plenty more to come but he and Ffos Las winner Transfer Friendly, who has been racing over further, have a penalty to carry and there is likely to be plenty of interest in GEORGES SAINT. A winner twice over fences in France, Venetia Williams’ recent acquisition is a real mud lover and will have conditions to suit. Points winner Captain Broomfield will probably need further but Notlongtillmay and Urban Grit have placed in bumpers so should have the speed to cope. Moveit Like Minnie has won bumpers but was beaten 24 lengths on his hurdling debut.
