Don't dismiss Jack particularly if he goes back over hurdles

Mystical Clouds
Fourth, 2m bumper, Lingfield, Tuesday, December 5
Mystical Clouds endured a nightmare passage. Close up on the inner, the four-year-old grey was trying to gain a clear run up the far rail but there was never enough space to allow him to stride on.

This talented son of Cloudings had clearly improved on his Worcester debut and should have little trouble winning soon, especially as a step up in trip over hurdles will bring bundles of improvement.

Just Georgie
Unseated rider, 2m7f handicap chase, Haydock, Wednesday, December 6
Just Georgie was well backed on this step up in trip and may well have rewarded his supporters but for departing five out.

Without success on his previous 13 attempts under rules, Sue Smith’s seven-year-old had finished an encouraging second at Bangor three weeks earlier after an absence.
