Aintree next for in-form Pearly Jack

MUNSTER National hero Pearly Jack returned to the scene of the crime to take the ladbrokes.com Handicap Hurdle at Limerick yesterday.

Trainer Davy Fitzgerald has the Grand National at Aintree as the long-term goal for his charge and the eight-year-old heads to Liverpool next weekend to get a feel of the fences.

“He is definitely going, but I am undecided as to which race it will be”, reported Fitzgerald.
