Petite Jack is a useful all-weather performer on the Flat but stamina could be an issue over this trip and he’s best on Polytrack. Lisa De Vassy only ran over hurdles at Exeter on Friday, finishing second again. Corrany has also had seconditis over timber so this looks a good opportunity for LONGHOUSE SALE to get back to winning ways. Unbeaten in bumpers, he won his first three over hurdles as well before finding Listed company too tough at Market Rasen and Kempton in the second half of last year.
