JACKDAY is taken to follow up on his recent success with both Abstract Folly and Baan worthy of mention. The selection confirmed his well being after winning over course and distance last time out. He is an out and out stayer and with conditions in his favour he will be difficult to oppose off only a three pound higher mark. Abstract Lady is winless in a long time but ran right back to her best after finishing an eye catching second to Bollin Judith at Redcar last time out. She is only one pound higher in the weights for her troubles so is sure to be in the shake up once again. Baan landed back to back victories at Yarmouth and Thirsk during the summer and was not beaten far at Pontefract last time out. He still looks potentially well treated so any market moves should be noted. Jackday is a course and distance winner who has conditions in his favour and is worth staying on the right side of for the time being.
