Getting closer.

Mr Jack built on his fourth place last time out by finishing third in the 2 mile novices hurdle at Plumpton this afternoon.  Ridden by Tom Garner he raced close up behind the leaders in midfield of the 11 runners.  He started his effort around the turn past the railway station but had his least fluent jumps at the final two flights.  Nevertheless he kept on after the last to take third place, just 2 and a half lengths behind the winner.

Mr Jack crosses the line in third place.
