In depth
Verdict
Jack The Track is one of the least exposed and as such merits respect on his handicap debut as he is probably capable of significantly better than he has been able to demonstrate thus far. Style Dancer ran with credit in defeat last time in a similar heat at Doncaster but now looks a shade high in the weights while Locombe Hill was disappointing last time and will not find it easy to dominate this large field. Marginal preference in a tough event is for Mush who looks on the upgrade having won two of his last three starts and may find the necessary improvement to offset a 6lb rise while General Hawk is on a fair mark and is worth an each way consideration.
