It’s a very long time since Jetstream Jack showed any worthwhile form, though is a huge drop in class. Regulation might be a more reliable proposition and is the only previous course winner in the line-up, though nearly all of his form is on much quicker ground. LET’S SWAY won a novices’ claimer at Ludlow earlier this month and the second has since won in handicap company. Only four, she’s only once finished out of the frame over hurdles and can record victory number three today. Minella Fiveo has a chance at the weights but Stolberg and Hollywood All Star may need this.
