Jetstream Jack is up to this class at his best though he's had his jumping problems and hasn't run since April. His stable companion General Principle won a Grade 3 at Limerick a year ago and has been competing at a high level in handicaps. This is a drop in grade and he can get into contention. Just if front of him the last day on this track was UNCLE DANNY, who ran the race of his life and would be very difficult to keep out of the frame with a similar level of form. Drumconnor Lad hasn't had much experience and makes his handicap debut but he's been mixing it with some smart performers and has to be respected. Killaro Boy completed a double over fences last spring and was returning from a very long break when down the field over hurdles at Gowran in January so he's one to keep an eye on.
