JUNIOR JACK came in for significant support at Southwell last month but probably still needed the run, only his second since returning from a lay-off. He's given a final chance to come good in a weak-looking affair despite conceding weight to recent course and distance winner Daneva. Brimham Boy, Mister Wiseman and Peak Seasons could all play a part but Diamond Eclipse continues to disappoint and Queen Of Mantua needs to brush up her jumping.
