1st (7)  (10/3 +17%)Yellow Jacket |
10/3(+17%)  |
 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Yellow Jacket 10/3, Maiden who ran well behind a subsequent winner over C&D in December but ran disappointingly when fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f) in January. Not out of things if he can shrug that off. Tongue tie applied. Needs to bounce back from a poor show at Market Rasen and now has tongue tied first time. |
|
2nd (1)  (9/1 -13%)Malpas |
9/1(-13%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Malpas 9/1, A fair winner at 17f over hurdles in early 2022 who made a much better fist of things on second chase try (following wind op) when third on return at Carlisle (2m) in December. May have found stamina stretched back up at 20f at Leicester since and this is more suitable. Not so good yet over fences; has a lower chase mark too but others are more persuasive. |
|
3rd (2)  (8/1 +43%)Happy Du Mesnil |
8/1(+43%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Happy Du Mesnil 8/1, Maiden hurdler who made mistakes and never figured on sole chase try in late 2022. Offered little back from 14 months off over hurdles at Southwell in January and only market support would make him of significant interest on return to chasing for new stable. Cheekpieces on. Out of form; headgear enlisted on this first run for new connections. |
|
4th (9)  (12/1 +64%)Money For Jam |
12/1(+64%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Money For Jam 12/1, Made frame sole start in points but little worthwhile form under Rules. Has lost his form and is not proven on worse than good to soft. |
|
|U| (6)  (4/1 +75%)Staar |
4/1(+75%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Staar 4/1, Placed both starts in points in 2018 and very lightly raced to date over hurdles, going backwards from return effort when seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f) 47 days ago. Market may prove a good guide now sent chasing. Absent 356 days before this season, making two backward steps; now switches to fences. |
|
|PU| (5)  (6/4 -20%)Thatza Dazzler |
6/4(-20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Thatza Dazzler 6/4, Offered little before causing a surprise to open account over fences at Ludlow (2m, heavy) 7 days ago, settling better than previously and well served by coming off a strong gallop. Whether he can reproduce that form under a penalty is open to question, however. 20-1, comfortably won a ten-runner novice handicap at Ludlow (2m, soft) last Wednesday. |
|
|PU| (3)  (50/1 -525%)Broadford Publican |
50/1(-525%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Broadford Publican 50/1, Modest form in Ireland and hard to derive much encouragement from his 3 hurdle outings for present yard in recent months. Chase debut. Heavy defeats this winter on his first three British starts and now 0-9; makes chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Thatza Dazzler picked up the pieces in a strongly-run affair when opening his account at Ludlow last week. It remains to be seen whether the six-year-old can back that performance up, but he warrants consideration shouldering a 7lb penalty. David Brace's charge is likely to be priced accordingly, so it could be worth taking a chance on handicap/chase debutant SHADY B. The Saint Des Saints gelding boasts some fair form between the flags and his opening mark looks workable. Yellow Jacket also makes some appeal.
YELLOW JACKET needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Market Rasen but he'd previously ran well when chasing home a next-time-out winner over C&D and could be worth siding with to bounce back equipped with a first-time tongue strap. His stablemate Malpas and chase debutant Shady B head up the dangers in a trappy opener.
Last week's Ludlow winner THATZA DAZZLER should have a fine chance to follow up if he's in the same form.

1st (2)  (3/1 +0%)Montgomery |
3/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Montgomery 3/1, Fontwell debut hurdles winner before very good fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, good), Underperformed on final outing for Christian Williams 8 months ago but intriguing runner up in trip/switched to fences by new yard. Sent chasing over new trip and on different ground by his new yard, he's unexposed. |
|
2nd (6)  (2/1 +0%)Breeze Of Wind |
2/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Breeze Of Wind 2/1, Has upped his form since switched to chasing, completing the hat-trick in comfortable fashion at Carlisle last time. Now tongue tied and looks open to further improvement, so obvious claims. The latest win was more workmanlike, but no shock were he to complete his four-timer. |
|
3rd (1)  (5/1 +17%)King Of Brazil |
5/1(+17%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) King Of Brazil 5/1, Fair hurdler/chaser who justified support despite going in snatches when landing a 6-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon 20 days ago. Step back up in trip should help and he's a definite player. Back from wind surgery with a strong-staying win at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft). |
|
4th (7)  (6/1 +33%)Furkash |
6/1(+33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Furkash 6/1, Not the best of jumpers on the whole and while he found just one too strong at Huntingdon (23.6f, soft) 34 days ago, record in this sphere stands at 0-15 and he's not the easiest to rely on. 0-15 over fences but often thereabouts, stays 3m and is competitively handicapped. |
|
5th (5)  (12/1 -85%)Domandlouis |
12/1(-85%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Domandlouis 12/1, Never been the most consistent and he produced one of his poorer efforts when fourth of 5 in handicap chase (11/2) at Kelso (22.3f, heavy) 61 days ago. Capable from this mark if on a going day and new headgear tried, but others make greater appeal overall. 0-8 over fences but three 2nds last year at up to 3m; blinkers replace recent cheekpieces. |
|
6th (3)  (16/1 -100%)Conquredalofeurope |
16/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Conquredalofeurope 16/1, Fairly useful chaser at his best who capitalised on sliding mark in weak 4-runner affair at Catterick on New Year's Day. Underlined his inconsistency there last time and blinkers back on now. Won four-runner race at Catterick; recent return there was very lack-lustre, however. |
|
|PU| (4)  (8/1 +0%)Dragonfruit |
8/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dragonfruit 8/1, Added to his good record fresh when striking on his 3m Uttoxeter reappearance in September but failed to back it up at Sedgefield. 111-day break since is a big positive, so may get back on track. Won two starts back; absent 111 days and his record after such a break gives some hope. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A 5lb rise in the ratings wasn't enough to prevent BREEZE OF WIND from completing a hat-trick at Carlisle earlier in the month. Stuart Coltherd's gelding looks more than capable of defying this 6lb higher mark and a four-timer could be on the cards. Stable/chase debutant Montgomery is a potential fly in the ointment now under the tutelage of Venetia Williams and any market support for the seven-year-old would be interesting, while first-time blinkers could spark Domandlouis' interest.
BREEZE OF WIND is firmly on the up and looks the obvious play in his bid for the four-timer. That said, King of Brazil had something to spare at Huntingdon last time and Montgomery is an intriguing runner for a new stable, so both could trouble the selection.
Breeze Of Wind is not opposed at all lightly and Montgomery is feared, but KING OF BRAZIL may well complete his double.

1st (9)  (9/2 +47%)Stellar Stream |
9/2(+47%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Stellar Stream 9/2, Point/hurdles winner who is lightly raced over fences and has run with credit on two of his last three starts. Step up in trip and cheekpieces could bring more out of him given the way he shapes. New trip and headgear are given a go after his good third of 13 at Chepstow (3m, heavy). |
|
2nd (8)  (7/2 +13%)Duke Of Deception |
7/2(+13%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Duke Of Deception 7/2, Fair form when twice successful over fences at around 3m last season and resumed winning ways back from 5 months off over hurdles at Wetherby (3m) in October. Good second back over larger obstacles at Aintree on Boxing Day and player back down in class. This sort of trip is unknown territory and he has a bit more to prove on heavy going. |
|
3rd (3)  (12/1 -60%)Haute Estime |
12/1(-60%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Haute Estime 12/1, Kept on gamely when opening chase account in a mares' novice here last spring and was going well when falling 3 out in a Class 2 Perth handicap in September. Safely held all 3 starts since (undergone wind op since latest run), though, and needs to get back on track here in a first-time tongue strap. Long distance might suit; also now tongue tied first time, having had wind surgery. |
|
4th (6)  (8/1 -78%)Whydah Gally |
8/1(-78%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Whydah Gally 8/1, Unreliable type who doubled his tally for the season when grinding it out from the front at Lingfield 15 days ago. Hard to know if he'll be in the same form here, though. Made his breakthrough over fences when upped to 3m5f on soft at Lingfield 15 days ago. |
|
|PU| (2)  (5/1 +17%)Notachance |
5/1(+17%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Notachance 5/1, Not quite the force of old but largely acquitted himself well last term and got back on track to some degree when fifth at Lingfield last time. Claims if he can build on that. Proven at 3m5f in the mud; needs to turn things around but way down the weights. |
|
|PU| (7)  (10/3 +17%)Gold Emery |
10/3(+17%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gold Emery 10/3, Point/hurdles winner who got better with each run over fences last season and all the better for return when just failing at Haydock two months ago. Needs considering. Rallied well when beaten a head at Haydock (3m1f, heavy) in December last time. |
|
|PU| (1)  (10/1 +50%)Mario De Pail |
10/1(+50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mario De Pail 10/1, After 19 months off (left Sam Thomas), shaped as if as good as ever when making the frame in handicap chases first 2 starts this season but hasn't fired since. Unraced beyond 3m2f and peak efforts over shorter than that; 0-8 over fences. |
|
|PU| (5)  (11/1 -57%)In Rem |
11/1(-57%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) In Rem 11/1, Not as consistent over fences as he was over hurdles and ran poorly at Exeter last time after a respectable return at Chepstow. Has had a break since. Failed to complete in both attempts at marathon trip; looked thorough stayer over shorter. |
|
|PU| (4)  (40/1 -21%)Domaine De L'isle |
40/1(-21%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Domaine De L'isle 40/1, Tumbled down the weights and finally took advantage when landing small-field marathon at Chepstow in March. That wasn't a particularly strong race, though, and he's been pulled up all 3 starts this season. Pulled up all three runs this term, latest the Welsh National; 3m7f win (soft) last March. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WHYDAH GALLY relished the step up in trip when landing a first chase victory over 3m5f at Lingfield recently and the eight-year-old likely has more to offer over these marathon distances. A 6lb rise in the ratings and quick turnaround will give hope to his rivals and Gold Emery is feared most. Donald McCain's charge is a potential improver now faced with a stiffer test of stamina. Ali Star Bert and Duke Of Deception have the form to feature as well.
DUKE OF DECEPTION is arguably still on the up and the second he produced at Aintree last time came in a stronger race than this, so he takes preference over Ali Star Bert, who bids for his third win from four starts. Gold Emery is also worthy of consideration.
The vote goes to WHYDAH GALLY (nap) following his Lingfield win. Several respected rivals have their first crack at this sort of trip.

1st (6)  (3/1 -71%)Strong Belle |
3/1(-71%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Strong Belle 3/1, Didn't kick on in bumpers but matched previous hurdles best when filling runners-up spot at Wetherby (2m) 25 days ago, bumping into an above-average sort off the Flat. Expected to play a lead role here. Better on last two starts (about 2m on soft) and brings clearly the best hurdles form. |
|
2nd (5)  (8/15 +58%)Pitwood Road |
8/15(+58%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pitwood Road 8/15, Winner of sole start between the flags and improved on previous bumper efforts (in first-time blinkers) when landing 6-runner contest at Ayr (2m) in good style 2 weeks ago. Makes appeal now hurdling with Brian Hughes again booked. Point win and best bumper performances make this Irish challenger one to note. |
|
3rd (8)  (16/1 -100%)Yougoglencoko |
16/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Yougoglencoko 16/1, Displayed a good turn of foot when making a winning debut in a Kelso bumper in September and ran to a similar level when sixth under a penalty at Newcastle last month. Makes hurdles debut and may emerge best of the McCain pair. Graduates from bumpers with improvement needed but her dam was a fairly useful jumper. |
|
4th (2)  (50/1 +50%)Bob O Rhino |
50/1(+50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bob O Rhino 50/1, Winning Irish pointer but well held in bumper/completed starts over hurdles. Low-level form under rules and hasn't looked straightforward; set up a big lead last time. |
|
5th (7)  (150/1 -355%)Wrappedinrubies |
150/1(-355%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Wrappedinrubies 150/1, Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Dec 10). Little immediate encouragement when well beaten on Rules/bumper debut at Wetherby (2m) last month. Likely to need time and distance (bred to stay well). Short-headed in December in Irish point (heavy); remote at 20-1 in Wetherby bumper (soft). |
|
6th (9)  (10/1 +38%)Ma Belle Artiste |
10/1(+38%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ma Belle Artiste 10/1, Useful 1m winner on Flat for Joseph O'Brien. Changed hands for 45,000 gns in October and possible she needed the run after 5 months off when fifth of 14 in juvenile maiden at Hereford (16.2f, soft) 2 weeks ago. In receipt of weight all round and this should reveal more. Useful on Flat; hurdle debut form two weeks ago suggests she is probably best watched. |
|
7th (4)  (16/1 -14%)Miss Maverick |
16/1(-14%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Miss Maverick 16/1, Failed to beat a rival home on her introduction at Uttoxeter (15.8f) but she showed more spark under a more positive ride when second in a 4-runner bumper over the same C&D 11 months ago. Makes hurdle debut. Seemed to improve when front-running second of four in Uttoxeter bumper (soft) last April. |
|
8th (3)  (12/1 -85%)Jackeline |
12/1(-85%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jackeline 12/1, Well beaten in 2 bumpers but more like it following switch to hurdling, fourth at Lingfield in December and in process of running well when falling 3 out at Exeter (16.7f) 4 weeks ago. Possible she could have more to offer. Carries head high but one of the top contenders in this field judged on her last two races. |
|
|PU| (1)  (150/1 -500%)Big Ange |
150/1(-500%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Big Ange 150/1, Telescope mare. Dam moody 19f-3¾m hurdle/chase winner. 7/1, well beaten seventh of 9 in bumper at Ludlow (15.8f, heavy) on NH debut 54 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. 7-1 for bumper at Ludlow (2m, soft) but tailed off; surely the stable second string. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Point-to-point winner PITWOOD ROAD clearly benefitted from the application of blinkers (retained) when scoring comfortably in an Ayr bumper earlier this month, and she may have too much for her rivals now tackling hurdles. The unexposed Miss Maverick finished second behind a useful mare in a Uttoxeter bumper last April and she can make her presence felt, while Strong Belle is one of the likely pace angles and could hit the frame.
PITWOOD ROAD built on the promise of her bumper debut effort when scoring in good style at Ayr 15 days ago and, very much the type to make her mark over hurdles, she's fancied to make a bold bid again partnered by Brian Hughes. Strong Belle, who chased home an above-average sort off the Flat at Wetherby latest, is also firmly in the mix.
Strong Belle brings the best hurdles form and Jackeline has ability but the vote goes to Irish challenger PITWOOD ROAD.

9/2(+18%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mr Bramley 9/2, Progressive in bumpers, just denied after a year off at Wetherby 25 days ago. Interesting hurdle debutant. Year off between his two 2nds in Wetherby bumpers, so nearly getting back up last time. |
|
2nd (3)  (4/7 +31%)Guard The Moon |
4/7(+31%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Guard The Moon 4/7, Half-brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Potterman. Back-to-back wins in bumpers at Bangor in December and made decent start over hurdles when third in Chepstow novice 5 weeks ago, not knocked about. Will improve and looks the one to beat. Won two small-field bumpers here; 3rd in Chepstow maiden hurdle (2m3f) sets good standard. |
|
3rd (2)  (3/1 +14%)Panhandle Slim |
3/1(+14%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Panhandle Slim 3/1, Hit the frame in a couple of above-average bumpers and confirmed the promise of his hurdling debut when winning 8-runner novice at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft) 64 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Handy 7-lb conditional takes over in the saddle so respected under a penalty. Won when upped to 2m4f at Sedgefield (good to soft) latest; needs further improvement. |
|
4th (8)  (100/1 -100%)Scrumpy |
100/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Scrumpy 100/1, Well held in bumpers/novice hurdle. Beaten 38l in his first bumper, bled next time and pulled up on hurdle debut latest. |
|
5th (6)  (125/1 -89%)Over Milk Wood |
125/1(-89%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Over Milk Wood 125/1, Well held in bumpers and modest form over hurdles in Ireland. Off over 2 years. First run for yard after leaving Olivia Hegarty. One piece of fair form in Ireland in 2021; absent 907 days and surely best watched. |
|
|PU| (1)  (17/2 -155%)Absolute Steel |
17/2(-155%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Absolute Steel 17/2, Hadn't shown much on his first couple of starts but has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and stepped up to defy massive odds in 8-runner novice hurdle at Exeter (18.5f, heavy) 17 days ago, still green. More needed again under a 10 lb penalty but not yet the finished article. 200-1 for a novice hurdle at Exeter (2m2f, heavy) 17 days ago but he made most to win. |
|
|PU| (4)  (250/1 -150%)Legostar |
250/1(-150%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Legostar 250/1, Winning pointer but has shown little promise under Rules. 1-9 in British points; 300-1 and 200-1 when showing little in two hurdle races. |
|
|PU| (7)  (300/1 -200%)Pearly King |
300/1(-200%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pearly King 300/1, Well held in bumper and maiden/novice hurdle. Big prices, behind in his bumper and two hurdle races. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
ABSOLUTE STEEL scored at huge odds over an extended 2m2f at Exeter earlier this month, keeping on gamely to the line, and, easing slightly in grade, he gets the nod to come home in front once more and prove that performance to be no fluke. Fellow last-time-out winner Panhandle Slim shouldn't be overlooked lightly, while Mr Bramley gave the impression that he was still very much a work in progress when finishing a close second in a Wetherby bumper latest.
Dual course bumper winner GUARD THE MOON showed plenty of aptitude for hurdling when third at Chepstow and looks the one to beat. Mr Bramley was progressive in bumpers so may emerge as the biggest threat with Panhandle Slim and Absolute Steel both shouldering penalties.
Absolute Steel, Panhandle Slim and Mr Bramley are respected but look up against it faced by GUARD THE MOON.

9/2(+50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gwennie May Boy 9/2, Fair hurdler who took a step firmly back in the right direction when making all in convincing fashion at Ludlow last spring. Pulled up at Warwick (21f) in September and now returns from another absence for new stable. Market should guide with yard also saddling Catch Him Derry. Won twice for Jonjo O'Neill but left him after showing little at Warwick in September. |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Catch Him Derry 11/8, Definite signs of ability in pair of course novice events during second half of last year and justified good support to make a successful handicap debut at Southwell (24.2f) 6 weeks ago, pulling clear with a next-time-out winner. Expected to be bang there up 6 lb. Up 6lb after Southwell handicap debut win (3m) but it's easy to envisage further progress. |

33/1(-230%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Phil De Pail 33/1, Fair bumper performer and similar form on 4 of his 5 starts over hurdles without tasting success during 2021/22 season. Lengthy absence to overcome (also had wind op) and another for whom the betting may help point the way. 3m second; had wind surgery in July 2022; absent for 683 days and market can guide. |

5/2(-25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Globe Player 5/2, Fair form when placed in pair of maiden hurdles late last year and left handicap debut effort in his wake (in first-time cheekpieces) when readily opening his account at Southwell (3m) 26 days ago, well served by longest trip he's tackled. Of firm interest again from 8 lb higher mark. Coasted home 16l in front at Southwell (3m, good to soft) early this month; up 8lb. |

14/1(+50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Iontach Cheval 14/1, Bumper/hurdle winner who recorded a career best when making a successful reappearance in handicap company at Warwick (2m, soft) in November 2022. Respectable third on his Sandown reappearance but disappointing both starts since. Others preferred. Below-form third on return from an absence and has shown little in his two starts since. |

|PU| (1)  (6/1 -50%)Big Fish |
6/1(-50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Big Fish 6/1, Promise in bumpers and returned from a lengthy absence with a professional performance to make a winning hurdling debut at Exeter (18.5f) in October. Not built on that in 2 subsequent starts but faced a stiff task tackling Grade 2 company latterly. This rates more suitable. 5l maiden win at Exeter (2m2f); not so good next time (soft); tailed off in Grade 2 latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GLOBE PLAYER represents a trainer firmly on the hot list and, on the back of an impressive win on his most recent start over 3m at Southwell, he can make a bold bid to go in again having been upped 8lb. Catch Him Derry got off the mark in workmanlike fashion on his handicap debut over an extended 3m at Southwell last month, but a 6lb rise will make life tougher, while Phil De Pail was in good form when last seen over 600 days ago and the market should tell us more on his return.
CATCH HIM DERRY and Globe Player both arrive on the back of victories and may well be the pair to focus on, the former, who pulled clear with a next-time-out winner, edging the vote. Big Fish will find this less taxing than his latest assignment and may do best of the others.
Calculations appear to be dominated by the last-time-out Southwell handicap scorers GLOBE PLAYER and Catch Him Derry.
