7/2

2 wins from 4 runs this year, showing much improved form when winning 10-runner handicap (well-backed 13/8) at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 12 days ago, drawing clear last ½f. 8 lb higher but he's progressive so holds leading claims.

Form: 2-3161

28/1

Has gone the wrong way from a promising start for current stable, visored for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 10/1) 20 days ago, slowly away. Something to find on form.

Forecasts

Vince Le Prince (5/2), Fine Interview (7/2), Beltane (4/1), William Dewhirst (9/2), Legal Reform (8/1), Macanudo (10/1), Twirler (12/1), Jungle Land (22/1), Travis (28/1)

FINE INTERVIEW has gone from strength to strength since joining this yard and he's strongly fancied to make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at the expense of Vince Le Prince, who lost his unbeaten record at this track (previously 2-2) but went down fighting to a thriving type earlier in the month. Legal Reform can edge out Beltane for third spot.
