Hurricane Jack has been found a golden opportunity to follow-up his recent course and distance win in the 12.45 at Musselburgh and rates the best bet on the card at 2/1.
Lucinda Russell’s grey has taken time to getting his jumping together, but things finally clicked into place in no uncertain fashion when he made all to win easing down by six lengths here last month in a class 4 contest.
He attacked his obstacles with plenty of zest that day in the hands of useful claimer Grant Cockburn, and it’s good to see that the young rider keeps the ride today on the nine-year-old.
Although the handicapper has had his say and put him up 8lb for that effort, he was value for far more than the winning distance and this is a class 5 contest and a weaker race.
That should enable him to defy the rise and follow-up, and if her puts in a clear round this afternoon this looks his for the taking.
At 2/1 he looks outstanding value and gets the maximum 10pt bet treatment.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 10pts win Hurricane Jack (2/1 Boylesports)
