Galway Jack only won a match on his reappearance at Wetherby but did win three times under Rules last year. Persian Snow was clearly in need of the run in a handicap at Lingfield and better is expected here but Grandioso was pulled up on his return to action at Leicester on Friday. BARRAKILLA looked a useful recruit to the hunter chase ranks when beating a subsequent winner at Bangor. Zac Baker keeps the partnership intact and he’s getting 4lb from his rivals.
