MR JACK can win his fourth race from five outings this season with a victory in the Aldiss Furnishing Stores Handicap Hurdle (4.00) at Fakenham.
The nine-year-old has a special place in the heart of trainer Andy Irvine.
Mr Jack was the last winner of his late wife Zoe Davison’s life - she succumbed to cancer the same day - when he scored at Plumpton on January 3.
And he was Irvine’s first success, after taking out the licence of Shovelstrode Stables near East Grinstead, when he followed up at the East Sussex track 22 days later.
After a second at Hereford in February, Niall Houlihan’s mount hit the bullseye over course and distance 11 days ago, and a 5lb rise for his three-quarter-length supremacy over Lostnfound may not stop my selection from going in again.
Earlier on the Fakenham card, COURT JURADO should live up to his favourite’s billing in the Snellings Norfolk National Raceday 4th May Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Chase (2.50).
At Wolverhampton, MISS THOUGHTFUL attempts five furlongs for the very first time in the Betway Selling Stakes (5.40), and the drop in both distance and class - the daughter of Gutaifan finished second in a six-furlong handicap at Chelmsford City last time - should pay dividends.
