Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| OR: 123

1/1

85/40

Fairly useful winner a best on Flat/over hurdles and he saw it out well when landing a C&D handicap a fortnight ago. 6 lb ruse may just anchor him.

33/1

Forecasts

Yes No Maybe So (1/1), Prabeni (85/40), Premier D'troice (7/1), Putting Green (14/1), Eclat Des Mottes (25/1), Tea Time Fred (33/1), Noble Glance (50/1)

YES NO MAYBE SO continued his faultless start for Tom Lacey at Southwell 3 weeks ago and the fact he idled in front on that occasion almost certainly masked his superiority, A 4 lb rise is therefore well within his capabilities, with Prabeni second choice on account of his proven well-being in relation to most of the others.
