GENERAL JACK has showing been pace over longer trips on the Polytrack at Lingfield. He has a bit more scope than some of his likely market rivals and can make it third-time lucky. Javelin attracted plenty of support on her debut at Thirsk last June but only managed fifth. However, she should have strengthened up over the winter and looks a danger. Little Boy Blue carries a penalty courtesy of his victory at Lingfield in December but has yet to finish out of the frame and Rossa Ryan takes off 5lb. White Feather is starting to look exposed but Dan's Dream has only had one run and is open to improvement.
