3/1

3 wins from 14 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner nursery at York (5.4f) 5 days ago, holding on gamely. No surprise to see him out under a penalty and he's a player with conditions holding no fears.

BETWEENTHESTICKS has really found his feet of late, making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts with a dominant display at York 5 days ago and, with underfoot conditions holding no fears, he could be up to defying the penalty. California Gem and Love Affairs are others fancied to play a part.
