A dual winner on the all-weather on the Flat, Atomic Jack was no match for the winner when runner-up in a similar contest here a fortnight ago. He’ll go close if settling better on this occasion and can confirm running with Dont Go Gentle but HEART OF A LION is just preferred. The latter has already won a bumper when successful on good ground at Southwell and Alan King’s charge may well improve further on his first outing after wind surgery. Linelee King is a bumper and hurdles winner while Mistersister is Flat-bred and has won over timber in France.
