Calvinist^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: J J Burke| T: K Frost| OR: 114| D

5/2

In the form of his life at present, following up his Bangor success in dominant fashion in a 0-140 at Uttoxeter last time. Hit with 6 lb rise but that may not be enough to prevent the hat-trick.

Form: 4-66311

5/1

Multiple Flat winner who has come to hurdling late but has taken well to it, quickly resuming winning ways in 4-runner novice at Sedgefield (19.8f) 22 days ago. Should remain competitive in handicaps.

Forecasts

Pagero (13/8), Calvinist (5/2), Shetland Bus (9/2), October Storm (5/1), Chapmanshype (10/1), Reve (12/1)

CALVINIST is in the form of his life right now and a 6 lb rise for Uttoxeter may not be enough to prevent the hat-trick. Pagero has contested much warmer handicaps than this on his last two starts, so he's a threat, as is Shetland Bus if none the worse for a slip up at Kelso last week.
