Verdict

QUICK JACK was due to run in a premier handicap on the Flat here yesterday where he looked to have every chance following his victory at Newmarket. He can revert to hurdling on such a lowly mark that whatever happens he is given the nod. Dayrina gained her maiden victory at Down Royal and though that was on fast ground she can make her handicap debut on a fair mark so has to be considered. Luimneach Abu was headed right on the line by Formal Bid at Kilbeggan and looks certain to get involved while Not For Changing showed plenty of promise in novice company last season and should be winning soon.
