Slingsbytoo³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby

Has shown clear promise both starts to date, including behind a subsequent winner at Beverley (7.4f) last month. Remains the type to do better at some point.

Forecasts

Waiting All Night (1/5), Slingsbytoo (6/1), Mahalik (9/1), Blue Jay Way (66/1)

WAITING ALL NIGHT sets a clear standard on the pick of his form, so he's selected to capitalise on the drop in grade and double his tally. Slingsbytoo is preferred to Mahalik for forecast purposes.
