Re: Ascot 22/11/2008 1.20 Jack the Giant 6/5 cor 15 pts Like the look of henderson's runner here with the trainer continuing his strong start to the season. Jack the Giant showed good ability in his novice chase season including a third in what at the time seemed a strong arkle. Last season he took advantage of a favourable hurdle mark to get a couple of big wins before returning to win over fences over a tad further than this. However he certainly isnt short of speed and this seems a good opportunity. He is currently rated 151 and its not hard to imagine him being superior to that mark by the end of the season, indeed its not hard to think he will be superior than all of these by the end of the season and that just puts it in perspecteive the tough task facing andreas to give 11 pounds to him even if he gets 5 of those claimed off.
