Verdict
Jumping Jack is 1-12 around here and was well beaten in a similar race a year ago but Whitlock won a Class 5 handicap on his only visit to the track though was well beaten on his first start for new connections at Nottingham. Greek Kodiak has won a couple of minor races on the Flat for Michael Bell this summer and is a rare runner over timber for the yard. VISION CLEAR produced his best run for some time in a Class 4 handicap at Fakenham last time and a reproduction would probably be good enough for this though Karakoram also takes a drop in grade and has been running well enough to provide a threat.
