      Verdict

      Petite Jack, a Listed winner on Polytrack, is interesting having only his second run over hurdles. Five-times Flat winner Esprit De Baileys was a bit unlucky not to make a winning start over timber at Huntingdon and will know more today. Mach One was third in a Plumpton maiden while Lunar Jet has hinted at ability. Emma Lamb would have won a Sedgefield bumper in October had she not swerved and unseated her rider but we’ll stick with NEWTOWN BOY, who won a Hereford race last month which is working out well.
