Form: UP-0423

Billy Two Tongues¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: James Best| T: J Farrelly| OR: 106

50/1

Struggled in the main when tackling point-to-points last season and beaten 55L on his return to Rules three weeks ago. Others make more appeal.

3/1

9/1

Improved on two previous efforts this season when finishing fourth over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell (good) last month. Market support would be interesting stepping up in distance.

Form: 1736-84

Forecasts

Jennys Day (3/1), Chato (4/1), The Black Squirrel (11/2), Tea Time Fred (6/1), Lake Shore Drive (6/1), Lincoln County (7/1), Mamoo (9/1), Mythical Legend (14/1), Billy Two Tongues (50/1)

The step up in trip looks likely to suit CHATO and he can record a first victory over hurdles in the concluding staying handicap contest. The application of a tongue tie should benefit David Pipe's charge and he can get the better of Tea Time Fred, placed in a similar race here last time out while Lake Shore Drive can take third having run well over C&D last time out.
