10/11

Looked unlucky not to make a successful return in May but gained compensation in straightforward fashion in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Haydock (11.6f) in June. Defied a 3 lb rise with ease when following up back at Pontefract since and he's fancied to be in the shake-up again.

Still Standing^p,t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Katie Martin⁽⁷⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 71| D

50/1

Hasn't threatened to win a race in some time and ran poorly with the blinkers and tongue strap retained for his first run over hurdles since leaving William Durkan in Ireland. Back on the level and he looks an easy swerve.

Form: 500-936

Lenny's Spirit^t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Sophie Smith| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 70| D

9/2

In good form this year, resuming winning ways under an enterprising ride when making it 2-2 at Newbury (10f, good to soft) just over 2 weeks ago. Nudged up another 2 lb and with no other confirmed front runner, he could get an easy time of things up top.

Billy Roberts^p²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Stephanie Jardeback⁽⁵⁾| T: S Whitaker| OR: 66| CD

9/2

Has slipped in the weights and turned in his best effort since his reappearance when runner-up at this C&D (soft) just under 3 weeks ago. Won this corresponding event 12 months ago and back in headgear for the first time for nearly 3 years, this 10-y-o would be folly to discount.

Form: 6-26052

Hot Team^v⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: P Morris| OR: 54| BF| D

4/1

Best effort of the season turned out quickly when pulling clear with the eased-down Temper Trap (who has won again since) at Hamilton (9.2f, soft) 6 days ago. Takes his racing well, so holds major claims of doubling his tally for the season from the same mark.

Forecasts

Unplugged (10/11), Hot Team (4/1), Lenny's Spirit (9/2), Billy Roberts (9/2), Whiskey And Water (12/1), Still Standing (50/1)

HOT TEAM pulled clear with one at the top of his game (who has won again since) at Hamilton last Saturday and Patrick Morris' 7-y-o is fancied to go one better provided he can cope with this quick turnaround. Unplugged arrives on the back of a couple of wins in similar events in recent months, so he looks the obvious danger, while 10-y-o Billy Roberts can fill out third spot.
